Traveler reviews
Starbucks DMZ visit
Lily from Seoul City Tours was phenomenal. Even though we could only visit the Starbucks and observatory, it was still worth the visit. She was enthusiastic, informative, and motivated. It made the experience a lot better!
Informative
Very nice tour... our tour guide-LILY of Seoul City Tour was amazing!! Highly recommend her...
Lily from Seoul City Tour was a wonderful!
Lily from Seoul City Tour was a wonderful tour guide, she answered all of our questions and went around each of us at the end of the tour to make sure we didn’t have any additional questions. She was full of fun facts and helped us all to take that mandatory Starbucks photo that we’re all looking for. She pointed out the different parts of North Korea that we could see and explained the history of the two countries - it was fascinating! Thank you very much Lily! I did have a problem booking the tour on Klook, when booking it gives the assumption that you will also see the tunnels and suchlike but that’s not the case - it would be good for the Klook website to be updated to have the Monday tour separate from all other DMZ tours. Thanks!
