We had an amazing experience on our DMZ tour, and a huge part of it was thanks to our guide, Moon Young. She was exceptional! She was incredibly friendly, engaging and funny, and made everything very easy to understand. I was travelling with my 10-year-old daughter, and I especially appreciated how she used accessible language and explained the historical context in a way that she could follow and enjoy too. Moon Young has a wonderful way of introducing information through stories and anecdotes, making the whole experience feel natural and entertaining rather than just a history lesson. Although part of our original itinerary had to be changed due to logistical reasons, it didn't take away from the experience at all. We had an incredible day and came away having learned so much. Thank you, Moon Young, for making our visit to the DMZ such a memorable experience! Highly recommended!
