A must do and something to remember!
Reviewed by: Hamish, 2018/03/05Visiting from Hong Kong for the weekend this was a must do. The tour lived up to our exceptions and delivered an unforgettable experience. From the ease of check-in, comfortable transport, lunch and our tour guide Mr. Kim, every thing about the day attributed to the fantastic time we had. Would most definitely recommenced this tour and group if you want to check out the JSA.

Amazing Tour
Reviewed by: jen0720nj, 2017/04/20Tour is very organized and informative. It wasn't too long nor too short. The tour guide ( I think her name was Jamie or Janie ) spoke English well and answered questions with a smile. We had extra time before lunch so she actually brought us to Imjingak Park to see the Freedom Bridge.
The lunch choice was bulgogi or bibimbap. This tour was well worth the $$. I highly recommend this tour!

JSA Tour
Reviewed by: Matthew W, 2017/02/23I was very pleased with the experience with this tour. Having a 6:00 PM flight out of Seoul, my only option was the Tuesday morning JSA only tour. Booking and confirmation was easy, the morning checkin at the Hotel President was quick and easy, and the guide was friendly and insightful. After our lunch at a local restaurant, the larger morning tour group split up, with those only doing JSA such as myself transferring to a minivan to shuttle back to Seoul. Would definitely recommend this tour for those who either only want the JSA tour (or were time-constrained such as myself).

Meaningful trip
Reviewed by: Brenda, 2016/09/01We barely see only ONE North Korea soldier at the JSA borderline (though I expected more). Nevertheless, the entire journey was very pleasant and the guide Kim explained well on the history of North Korea and he is hilarious! Lunch is good too.

Great, funny guide, excellent experience
Reviewed by: J.L., 2015/08/11Our guide, "Handsome" Mr. Kim, was an absolute delight to have! Very funny, and gave the commentary an insightful frankness into North-South relations. The experience itself was extremely rewarding and almost surreal given the geopolitical circumstances surrounding the JSA. Overall, staff were very helpful and the tour proceeded smoothly.

The precious experience
Reviewed by: Takeshi, 2014/05/14I think we had a really precious experience. I participated the both tour to ""The third tunnel"" and Panmunjom. Visiting both tourist spots, makes us think about the history of North and South Korea. So much of tours are recommended to us when we visit South Korea. Above all, you should absolutely take part in the tour I mentioned above. I spent a worthwhile time there.

It was quite a sense of tension.
Reviewed by: Kitano-Tabibito, 2014/05/14I experienced a sense of tension and thrill far more than expected in this fulfilling DMZ and JSA tour. The female guide explained about Korean history very clearly and I learned a lot.
I was startled to see a North Korean soldier. It was obvious he looked at us with binoculars.
I was worried about clothes and appearance but I think it will be OK if you wear ordinary clothes.
If you are not with small children, I'd recommend this tour.
