The meet up was a little messy as it coincided with the other team but it was quickly resolved as the guide will come over to you to check with you. The guide Yuna is full of energy and we feel so well taken care of throughout the activities. She will be explaining the history and what to expect before each activity. It’s a little demanding for the activity sometimes but she is very encouraging. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip!

This tour was amazing - not only did we learn so much history and feel a great sense of patriotism, we were able to form connections with our guide and other tourists. Highly recommend! Alex is the best, most handsome tour guide!

Fun tour of the DMZ. Gabby was a great guide and shared a lot of insights and history with us. We also added on the gondola option at the Imjingak park which allowed us to get to the civilian area of the DMZ. The 3rd Tunnel was physically intensive as the slope is steep and the bottom part of the tunnel was 1.6m high, but it was a cool experience being just 170m away from North Korea underground. The walk up to Dora Observatory was also intensive and the 3rd floor rooftop was closed during our visit in October 2024 due to safety concerns around the trash balloons sent from North Korea. Overall, we had a great time. Once again, thank you Gabby and VIP Tour!
