Private Tour

Today, I would like to thank Crystal for guiding us on a difficult and meaningful trip to the DMZ military district of the 3-8 line. As a very special, strict military control zone, the DMZ is very professional and complex with the details of the itinerary, military zone specifications, historical background. But the entire Crystal tour guide is clear, detailed and highly professional, not just a simple introduction to the sights, but also a deeper explanation of South Korea's history, border history, military district regulations and the meaning behind each attraction, so we have a solid, complete and deep understanding of this precious and heavy history. Patient, careful, gentle and responsible, all the time taking care of the team's rhythm, reminding all military districts to visit taboo, photographic regulations, safety details, let us both observe the regulations and rest assured in serious military areas. In the face of our curiosities, details, history, local culture, Crystal is very careful and professional. The entire DMZ tour is lively, rich, and very valuable because of the Crystal guide, not only a tour, but also a difficult history learning and feeling. Highly recommended! Thanks to Crystal's passionate team, we have a memorable, precious and meaningful DMZ trip!
