Traveler reviews
Very interesting and well...
Very interesting and well organized! We had the perfect tour guide: Jay! she was very engaged and supportive.
Fascinating day with Dennis in the DMZ!
My husband, college age daughter and I had a fabulous day Saturday with Dennis learning about Korean history and the DMZ. The Gamaksan Mt suspension bridge was beautiful. Imjingak Park was thought provoking. Lunch was very tasty. Dora Observatory was fascinating with the views of North Korea, and the 3rd tunnel was quite the workout coming back up. Meeting with the North Korean lady who defected and hearing her story was deeply moving. Dennis is full of information, energy and humor, and we loved having him as our guide. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Seoul!
Got my money's worth!
Really good value for your money. Our tour guide, Jin, was excellent and had really good energy. She was really knowledgeable, made the tour exciting, and always made sure we were comfortable and accounted for. I felt like we spent the right amount of time at each place so the tour was never boring. Lunch was also good!
