Traveler reviews
Jackie the storyteller
Jackie is a mirabilis storyteller. The experience is very beautiful and interesting because you learn a lot of things that I didn't know.
Unforgettable experience
Jacky the Storyteller made this trip truly memorable with his insightful historical narrative and unique sense of humour. It was also the personal story of the defector whom we could ask any questions that would stay in my mind akon with witnessing the border, the tunnel, the documentary. An altogether unforgettable experience that I can highly recommend
Excellent and Memorable DMZ Experience
We had a great experience on the DMZ tour! It was interesting, enjoyable, and very well organized, with plenty of things to see and learn along the way. Our guide Javkie was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area!
Great experience
Very good! Jackie the storyteller is great!
Most Interesting Tour in South Korea
The trip was highly informative and, in my view, one of the most interesting tours that everyone should experience at least once. What added tremendous value to the tour was the warm welcome and excellent guidance provided by our guide, Mr Han Ron. Mr Han explained everything in a clear and engaging manner and went above and beyond to ensure that we had an enjoyable and meaningful experience. Unfortunately, the heavy rain significantly reduced visibility, and we were unable to get a good view of North Korea. However, Mr Han more than made up for this by using photographs and detailed explanations to help us understand what we would otherwise have missed. His knowledge, patience and genuine effort to ensure that we gained the most from the tour made the experience truly memorable. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with Mr Han Ron as the guide.
