Go see it all with JJ at the DMZ

Excellent experience! JJ was the star of the show, very knowledgeable and engaging. Our tour got to speak with a real live North Korean and learned about her treacherous journey to make it to freedom! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the history of the Korean War and the DMZ.

Poor organisation and communication, Felt ripped off and disappointed

Booked a private DMZ tour with this company, our guide was lovely and picked us up on time from our hotel in a very comfortable car. When we arrived at the DMZ Tourist area we had a 3 hour wait to board the busses. We'd explained before booking and again to the guide that we needed to be back at our hotel before 3pm. We were repeatedly told there was enough time. Guess what? There wasn't. The guide flaffed around making an alternative plan while we stood around waiting. Eventually we went on a much smaller shorter tour but ended up paying the same price. I emailed requesting a refund over the difference but my emails were ignored.
