Traveler reviews
Excellent
I will put it in Spanish. While it is true that I would have preferred it in my native language, I managed to understand quite well. Special mention to the guide Sook-hee, who made it even more interesting. Thank you
Great experience, seeing North Korea is just incredible
The experience was fun, we did this tour in elections day so the itinerary changed a little bit. We went to Odusan observation deck instead of Dora and the third tunel. The views from Odusan observation deck were really impressive, we even saw some farmers working in the North Korean side. Our tour guide, Sook-hee, made the trip very interesting telling us real stories and explained clearly what we were doing in every stop. If you’re visiting Seoul this kind of experiences are highly recommended. You learn a lot from the recent Korean history.
Great choice to explore the DMZ
Sook-hee was relaxed, friendly and knowledgeable on this smaller tour. She took great care of us and we learned a lot about Korea, it's history and the DMZ. Highly recommended.
Memorable and touching experience!
An excellent experience thanks to our travel guide Mrs. Sook-hee, who explained everything thoroughly, she had a lot of stories to tell, she was very helpful, very understanding, kind and superb in her job!!! Thank you Sook-hee!!!
