Best Cruise Excursion! - This was the best optional tour for cruise passengers in Sokcho. Chan was a great communicator and in touch with us all prior to arrival. He picked us up from the port in a most luxurious bus with a safe driver. Chan was a great guide, he was informative and organised and we covered a lot in our limited time. We even had an authentic Korean lunch provided before returning to the pier. We sincerely hope the Korean people will be reunited one day. Highly recommend this tour and thanks Chan for a memorable day.

DMZ experience - We like the clean, sparkly luxury Limousine bus with ample leg room. Chan, our tour guide, was lovely and caring, he made us know all about the history and the sad reminder of Korean war; and he made sure that we got back to the ship on time. The lunch is a new and nice experience fir us. I recommend this tour to anyone wants to go to DMZ

Excellent tour with Chan - Given that our ship was late docking that day due to the high winds, Chan maintained a calm demeanour and did his very best to give us a very meaningful tour. He answered questions thoughtfully and was very knowledgeable. His communication with us before the tour was timely. We would highly recommend this tour.

Chan's the Man! - When a minor incident days before between the North and South was blown out of proportion by the media and caused our cruise ship to cancel the cruise ship sponsored tours to the DMZ, it was our guide Chan that saved the day by explaining the misinformation and assuring us everything was completely safe. Eeryone was surprised when we returned to the ship having completed a successful Viator tour with Chan to the DMZ. Chan's the man!

A Memorable Experience - Chan, our tour guide, was most helpful and communicative. The van was very comfortable for the 50km ride to the DMZ. The observatory and the museum were very interesting and informative, especially with the added commentary from Chan. We truly hope to see the Korean people peacefully reunited in our lifetime.

Best ever tour guide - Our tour guide, Chan, put a lot of effort into organizing our tour to the DMZ. He and his driver were there waiting for us at the cruise terminal. He and the driver took our small group in a very comfortable minibus up the highway, first for an authentic Korean lunch, then to the DMZ observation post and finally to the Korean war museum. Chan was really knowledgeable in answering our questions about Korea, he provided a money exchange service for those of us who needed a few kwon to spend, he provided bottled water, he took photos which were messaged to us later, and generally took care of us. I think we were very fortunate to have a guide as attentive and caring as Chan.

A great way to see a little of Sotchko & DMZ. - Our guide, Chan, was wonderful. He was enthusiastic & knowledgable, always helpful & considerate. He organised a delicious Korean lunch for our small group en route to the DMZ which was unexpected, and enjoyed by all. Our driver was skilled and the opportunity to enjoy scenery was much appreciated. We were in S.Korea for only one day but our experience makes us want to return for longer.

Sokcho cruise tour to DMZ (recommended) - Chan was very proactive - he contacted the group well in advance & offered options to make the most of our time in Sokcho. The vehicle was spacious, the driver competent and the DMZ tour as described. Chan painted a poignant picture of the terrible rift experienced by the Korean people as a result of the war and the border. Chan, thank you for your hospitality.
