5 star DMZ tour - We thoroughly enjoyed the Get Your Guide DMZ tour which we booked via the app just 12 hours before the trip. The English speaking tour guides Heidi and Kenny were very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The pickup was easy and the tour bus was was a Get Your Guide branded bus which immediately provided reassurance that this was an official organised tour. If you only have a short time in Seoul I highly recommend taking this trip. Heidi and Kenny really made the DMZ tour a memorable day out for us, thank you guys so much.
