This tour was amazing! Vincent was SUCH a great guide - very knowledgeable and flexible. Each stop was incredibly informative. I had a friend who went on another DMZ tour and she said that this one made some more stops, which was fantastic. Definitely recommended - I know there are a ton of similar tours out there, but you won’t be disappointed with this one!

Thank you so much Vincent for taking us to DMZ we had a fantastic day, even though it was raining the whole day, didn’t matter still had a great experience. Loved you picking us up from our hotel and the early start, we felt we were first at every point. Also enjoyed the Suspension Bridge, and the walk to get to it.
All in all a super day. A must do Tour.

Vincent was a great guide. When we booked, we were able to connect with him via WhatsApp and he could answer any questions we had. Our hotel wasn't even on the list but he was able to coordinate his pick ups so that he'd pick us up from our hotel. He was very knowledgeable and gave us tidbits of information about the tour destinations as well as about Korea in general. If you go in a small private group (small van as opposed to large tour bus), make sure you are on time so that you get to the DMZ ASAP. Then you have a better chance of getting tickets for the tram rather than having to walk up and down to the 3rd tunnel. It's quite the trek!

This is an amazing tour. Our tour was expertly led by Vincent, who was wise in getting us to the DMZ early and getting tickets so that our group experienced the Third Tunnel by small rail. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and organised as well as a very competent driver. We were collected at our pick up point on time and enjoyed the drive through the countryside outside Seoul. There is much history and perspective to be learned on this tour and sights included the Freedom Bridge, The red suspension bridge, the observation centre with views to North Korea, and the unification village.

Vincent was an excellent tour guide. The day was perfectly organized and ran smoothly. Being in a small group was appreciated- no wait for restrooms, easy access to ask questions. Keep in mind: Climb to suspension bridge is not for sissies.
