Great tour and tour guide

Highly recommend this DMZ tour. Camila was an excellent tour guide…friendly, knowledgeable, informative and able to keep group up to date when issues came up. Enjoyed the defector talk, Paju observatory to view North Korea, the 3rd tunnel, suspension bridge, and village. You will be lucky to have Camila as a tour guide.
