It was such an experience and educational tour. Joo Ee was very captive with her explanation and it was quite a good history lesson I received throughout the tour. I would recommend this tour.
Our tour guide, Vincent, was really patient and knowledgeable. Gave good background about the sites. I truly appreciate his attention to details plus his extra care especially as I am older and took more time to reach certain points, he patiently waited and assisted. Truly applaud him for his great character. Great trip and safe driving too.
Efficient pick up with clear instructions on where to meet. Tour guide Joo Ee was professional and informative! Highly recommended
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!
Good tour guide and informative
