Informative DMZ tour

Excellent, would highly recommend. Jackie the storyteller is a terrific guide. But I suggest staying on the bus at the Amethyst jewellery shop to avoid impulse buying, it’s still expensive , even after their discounts.

Pretty good

We were broutht to the dmz enterance by car and joined the rest of the group and the guide. I had some small talk with the other members of our tour, and the guide was very energetic and told us all sorts of interesting stuff about the DMZ. From the begining until the end he was very entertaining. We got the chance to buy souvenirs and have a lunch in the DMZ. My only problem was, that before entering the DMZ he showed us a souvenir shop. I bought what I wanted and when I came out I saw the bus leaving whitout me. I ran after it and luckily the bus driver noticed me. After that we tried to stay close to the guide or the orher members of our tour. But overall it was a good experience.

Experience to the Edge

It was very informative tour. Han our tour guide talk us through step by step what to expect during the tour & the places we visited. He spoke in a very eloquent way & communicated very well. The guest we had at the earlier part of the tour even added more interest to the tour where she spoke her ordeal & journey to the south ( would even be a good material for movie or documentary film).
