DMZ tour was a awesome experience to know about the history between North and South Korea. Our guide Joo-Ee is very good and friendly. She explained all in detail so we are able to understand.

Really happy as we got what we wanted. We were transported in a small group to DMZ border (from there, you move to a larger bus to go inside of the zone). Great tour guide who did not try to imagine things but shared what he knows, acknowledging lack of information where he did not know for certain. All properly explained in a timely manner. Remember, tourists are not allowed to take photos of North Korean territory, even though there is not much to photograph from that distance. Enjoy the views and try imagining what it is like on the other side of the border. Dig into the history of two Koreas (I suggest some homework, too). And enjoy your tour!

It was a good trip where I learned more on the background of DMZ even though I did some research prior to the trip. Jones, who I was the guide, was very knowledgeable and took great care of the team. The only drawback was that visits to the JSA is closed at a the moment, which is beyond the control of the tour operator. Otherwise the experience would have been complete and perfect. 😊 In any case, I recommend this tour.
