Great tour! - I really enjoyed this tour. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to know more about the history between North and South Korea. The highlight for me was the Dora Observatory.

Interesting history of Korean war - I went on a tour that highlighted the sadness of division during the Korean War and the history of Korea. The tour was well-organized, and it was a good idea to arrive early because there were many people at the tour site. However, they let people in based on their arrival time. The guide, Roy, gave a thorough explanation and shared both sad and funny stories.

Recommended - Awesome experience.
The guide provided us with a really good explanation of the story of the dmz and the korean War.
Ki was really welcoming, friendly and helpful.
The guides helped me taking a taxi just on time for the meeting point in the early morning. One of them also talked to the taxi driver, helping me to change the direction cause I gave him the wrong arrival point.

Nice experience - The experience with our guide, Roy, has been very educational and entertaining. He managed to explain the situation on DMZ very precisely, we liked his charisma and way of interacting with tourists, and he was very attentive to our needs. A moment that we saved from our stay in Seoul. Thanks Roy.
