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.

I had the pleasure of joining a DMZ tour, and what an experience it was. I absolutely loved my guide, AJ from Seoul City Tour. She explained the history in a fun and engaging way and has a wonderful personality. The tour was enjoyable from start to finish, and I can highly recommend taking this tour with Amy.

Soo glad I've booked that tour! It's a difficult topic, but our guide made it informative and still fun. Eddie is a great guide with big knowledge about DMZ, history, Korea and insight informations. He knew all the answears, extra stories and took a good care of our group. Great energy & good jokes! Very well organised and relaxed atmosphere of the trip. It was very, very interesting, clear, good explained and well managed day. Thank you Eddie, also for great pictures (of us and not possible to get yourself anymore over North Korea) Ps. I'm not sure but I felt that everything was timed just perfectly by Eddie, we were always ahead of the other groups and it made a more intimidate atmosphere. It's a group activity but a very individual approach. Highly recommended, thank you, it made our day.

The time was really good for each attraction so I could see everything well. But during the interview with the north Korean defector the guide just answer some of the questions by himself when at least I, was curious to know about the north Korean opinion.
