Love Seoul Tour

Henry was an amazing guide. He taught us about the deep history between north and South Korea and the tensions still remaining. We went to the 3rd tunnel and the observation deck to look at the North Korean border. Also went to Gamma mountain. Through all of this he took pictures of us and told us about the importance everything has to Korean people. Because we went outside of peak season there were no crowds anywhere. All in all it was an amazing day with Henry as a tour guide.

Fun despite the rain!

Despite pouring rain in this time of year, our tour guide Henry still made learning about North Korea and the DMZ very enjoyable. We booked a private tour and got picked up around 7am and dropped off at our place of stay close to 4pm, so roughly 9 hours. Went as a group of 6, but for the special DMZ area we had to transfer to a special bus with other tourists for security reasons. Great atmosphere, dimmed only by the heavy rain which caused some areas to be closed. Henry provided lots of education even before arriving at the different locations, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced. Fantastic experience that I recommend for everyone.

Great experience

This DMZ tour was a great experience during our South Korea trip as a family of 5. Our tour guide, Henry, was amazing! He taught us a lot about Korean history and he was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Even though the rain was bucketing, we had a great time and were able to experience a lot of things 10/10 would book here if I needed to visit the DMZ again.
