Very pleased

Reviewed by: S Ying, 2019/12/29

We went with the alternative tour because DMZ was closed due to African Swine Flu. Regardless, still very pleased. Our guide on the day (Dec 27) was outstanding - informative, friendly and super helpful. Tour will have been perfect if more time was allowed at the War memorial. Its a huge place and will require a couple hours to really enjoy all the exhibits, however we were there for only 50 mins at best.

Amazing tour!

Reviewed by: Mariel , 2019/08/30

Our tour guide was Sonmi and she was amazing. Very informative, friendly and made sure all our needs were met. For the tunnel, we took the monorail so there was not much walking but we were warned beforehand that anyone with issues with tight spaces and/ or health conditions could opt out. Highly recommended tour and experience.

Enjoyed it although JSA was cancelled

Reviewed by: sktourist, 2019/08/25

We decided to still join the DMZ tour after JSA was cancelled and I'm glad we did. The cancellation is very random and not the tour operator's fault so we totally understand that. We were informed a week before about the cancellation so we were still able to arrange another tour schedule for the same day. The DMZ trip was short but it was very interesting. The guide was nice and speaks english well. Lunch was also good.

If I can visit South Korea again, I will definitely try this tour again with JSA and hopefully it will not be cancelled next time.

wOw!

My partner and I were really stoked to get a spot on this tour as we only booked 3 days in advance. While it took a few Google searches to find, this shouldn't be counted against the company. They are one of only a handful of companies authorised to go to the JSA, which is great since you don't need to switch operators midway through a DMZ/JSA tour. Our guide was lovely and she had a great knowledge of the history surrounding the Korean war. Lunch was great and catered to vegetarians. Bus was very comfortable with reclining seats etc. 11/10 would recommend.

Very well organized and efficient use of time. Our guide was very sweet and extremely knowledgeable. Did not however get to try on JSA military uniform, perhaps due to restaurant change?

Chilling and Epic!

Reviewed by: Lizzy, 2016/06/05

This was easily one of my favourite parts of our whole holiday! The day was long and jam packed but I enjoyed every bit. Started with a JSA tour with maybe 30 other people. Easily the coolest part! Being there was insanely eerie but also really interesting as our guide was a wealth of information and really excited about teaching us about the Korean War. After lunch (of which they did a spesh Vego dish for myself and my boyfriend) we split into a smaller group of maybe 8 and stayed with our original guide. The rest of the tour was super interesting as well, especially the tunnel (I only wish we could have taken photos there) The last few stops are add ons and they take you to a small shop but honestly its still all interesting and a fun way to end the day and n the bus back we all had a nice nap as we were exhausted. Honestly our guide was amazing and absolutely made the tour as great as it was! I am not normally one for tours as I like going at my own pace but this was great and am so glad we did it! Worth the money for sure! Make sure you do JSA and DMZ not just DMZ

Definitely worth it

Reviewed by: Véronique, 2015/11/08

We had a charismatic guide who was able to answer all our questions. The tour itself is well-organized and the lunch was delicious. Very cool experience but be warned, there are many other tour busses doing the same activities on the same day so it is pretty crowded!

Great tour

Reviewed by: ivan, 2015/10/02

I had a wonderful day. The tour guide was exceptional, with great knowledge, she was very kind to explain everything. The only problem was she was very insistent with the timing, and with the thing of taking or not taking pictures. When we finished, she explained that it was because of the military of the zne, and it had o be like that. One of my best experiences!!

Great tour

Reviewed by: Rkac, 2015/04/12

Was a great tour. Our guide was fantastic. Spoke impressive English, for it being her second language. An ignorant tourist corrected her on a word - which got me pretty upset - but the guide remained calm and still went back and talked to her and answered her stupid questions.
Got to see everything we imagined. It was a long day, that went very quickly.
The soldier was also polite. Was mainly there to escort, but was friendly and willing to help answer questions.
