Cheorwon DMZ is a hidden gem - Our guide Jonathan was an excellent guide and had very detailed explanations about all the historical and natural things you will need to know about Cheorwon. This was an amazing trip, very different to Paju DMZ tours, where you actually have the chance to see the DMZ's nature side. Specially, White Horse Hill (백마고지) was an incredible place to be. Also, we were able to know the natural wonders that Cheorwon county has to offer. Even though we were not able to visit the 로동당 building due to ungoing construction, this trip is totally worth it! I definetely recommend it

Cherowon DMZ tour - The tour was interesting, we have 2 guides, one explained in Mandarin, one in English. We had clear knowledge of the situation during the Korean War which led to the now DMZ . Both Jonathan and Richard were professional and helpful.

Totally worth it! - Jade is really a cheerful and friendly guide, she really makes the guests comfortable and explained us the culture and history of the DMZ. Thanks to her , I really enjoyed my trip. It was very easy and convenient to book via Ktourstory and the pick up and drop off was near my hotel in myeong-dong. I will definitely book with Ktourstory when I visit South Korea next time.

The better DMZ tour! - This is my second time to the DMZ—the first time I took the half day tour to the Dora observatory and that tunnel. I definitely like this one better. Cheorwon’s tunnel is cooler, the observatory about the same, but overall way prettier and less of a crowd in all my pictures! This one seems to be less commercialized too and more about the history of the DMZ. If I have more visitors come out to Korea, I’d take this one again. Time for this one was 7am-6pm, for the half day last time was 11am-7pm. Two suggestions: bring toilet paper as the stop on the way back does not have it, and have an umbrella if you go during monsoon season—no matter which trip you take! Jade is the tour guide and she’s easy to understand and really fun. I hope this helps!

10/10 will recommend - I was searching for DMZ tours and came across this one. Reading all the great reviews, I decided to give it a try and it surpassed my expectations. The tour guide, Jade, who was also our driver was very warm and friendly. She was very informative in her explanations as well. It gave me a very different perspective of the Korean War and it was amazing to see all the sites including the 2nd tunnel. I would recommend all of you who are interested to try it!

Great trip - We were looking for options of seeing the DMZ with kids and this one turned out to be really great. A good combination of history, nature, food and the more every-day look at the DMZ and Korean countryside without crowds. The pace was great and our guide Jade was excellent - very helpful and nice.
