Yoon from Seoul City Tour was a great guide, very informative. My favorite parts were the suspension bridge and the Dora Observatory! The weather was perfect, a clear day and we were able to see all of the north korea side. The only thing i didn't like is that we could not take pictures once in the military zone, but everything else was great. Be ready for a long walk down and hard climb back up at 3rd tunnel, leave your jacket in the locker it gets hot down there. If you want to ride the Gondola at Imjingak do that first before lunch, we ran out of time. The chocolate ice cream is a must try at Unification Village. Overall a very memorable day full of new experience, A definite once in a life time tour for me.
