DMZ tour with 4 locations. I really liked our guide Jieun Jung (Felicity is her English name). Her English was very good and it was very helpful that she sent a photo of the bus several hours before the meeting. Since there were many busses going to that location. Also I think she was not overselling the souvenirs, and she did tell some interesting stories about Hyundai. Personally I would add more information to the story about Hyundai and how he became a big businessman. Maybe I would also add a bit more information about economic distruction korean war created on both sides. But I am a person, who is just interested in history, so i can imagine not everyone thinks it is necessary. And special thanks to our guides for sharing with us photos from locations, where u cannot take a photo anymore!Fernando

The DMZ tour was an absolutely amazing experience! It was very well organized and led by an excellent guide, who shared the history of Korea in a fascinating and engaging way. Thanks to him, we gained a much deeper understanding of the complex relationship between North and South Korea and its impact on the present day. We were especially surprised to learn about the historical connections between Korea and Poland, which made the tour even more meaningful and personal. We discovered many things we had never known before. Overall, it was a great atmosphere, full of knowledge and emotions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting South Korea – the DMZ is definitely a must-see, and hearing the guide’s insights in person makes it truly unforgettable!
