Unique opportunity to view a N. Korean town and talk to a defector.

Reviewed by: Kevin, 2020/02/12

This was an alternate tour because of the DMZ being closed due to African Swine Flu. Still a great tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. He answered all of our questions about the Korean conflict. Of course, being able to look into a North Korean town and talk to a defector were the main draws of this tour. Talking to the defector was the best part. It was great to hear about their experience and opinions on the politics of the Koreas. Once in a lifetime opportunity. Would recommend to anyone interested in Korean War history or life in N. Korea.

Great Experience and Very Informative!

This tour was a fantastic option as the DMZ & JSA is closed due to swine flu. We’re so glad we chose this as it was very informative and the tour guide was very friendly and funny. We got to visit an old Korean Warship and walk around. We visited the Peace Observatory which gave great views of the NLL and using high powered binoculars to see into the small North Korean towns. The best part about this tour was the Q&A with the North Korean defector, we got a lot of time to ask questions which were very enlightening getting a first hand account for someone who lived in North Korea, our guide was a great translator for us and the North Korean Defector. I would definitely recommend this tour especially if you are looking for an alternative to the DMZ/JSA tour. 5 stars thank you for a great day.

My friend and I originally wanted to go to the JSA, but seeing as it was closed due to the African Swine Flu, we chose to take the NLL tour instead. And we definitely don't regret it! We got to visit the Imjingak and the Observatory, and the Q&A with the North Korean Defector was really quite enlightening. I would recommend this tour again, especially if options with the JSA are unavailable!

Excellent service and tour!

Reviewed by: Ivy, 2019/12/28

We initially opted for the DMZ tour. We were informed the DMZ area was closed by UN due to african swine flu for safety reasons and were offered the NLL tour. We decided to proceed with the alternative tour and were promptly picked up at 8am at our hotel in Seoul. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about the history of north and south Korea. The NLL tour also comes with a Q&A with a north Korean defector, which we can ask questions through the tour guide during the bus ride. Passport and security checks are not required. Recommended if you are interested to learn about the history of Korea, and specifically to understand life as a north Korean defector. Service from booking the activity until the end of the tour was excellent!
