Memorable DMZ tour ! - VVIP tours was recommended to me by a friend who lives in Seoul. I did the Best DMZ tour; it was a very well organized and memorable experience! Once I made my reservation, they confirmed it immediately and communicated clearly about tour details like pick up times, and locations. K was our guide and she did an outstanding job, thoroughly explaining relevant Korean history and politics as well as the individual sites, which really helped inform our visit. K and our driver kept us on schedule, but we had enough time to appreciate each site. This tour has been a highlight of my trip and I strongly recommend VVIP. Thank you, K and VVIP, for a great day !

The DMZ tour was surreal and humbling, giving a powerful view of Korea's divided past and its hope for future peace. Tna - Visiting the DMZ was an intense and surreal experience, offering a unique look into Korea's divided history. Walking through sites like the Third Tunnel and Dorasan Observatory, I could sense the weight of the division firsthand. Seeing North Korea from the South, with only a line and barbed wire separating the two, was a powerful reminder of the tension that persists. Our guide's explanations brought context to the history and hope for reunification, making it all feel very real. The DMZ is not a typical tourist attraction but one that profoundly deepened my understanding of Korea’s complex story.

Perfect Sunday trip to the North Korean border - The North Korean border defines everything in South Korea. To understand the country's past and potential future you must visit and see the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Yuna was an excellent tour guide and explain the history on the way to the DMZ and drive us around to crossing observation points, infiltration tunnels with pit stops for food and souvenirs.

Don't think, just book it - The tour is the highlight of my Korea Trip! We were very fortunate to see the Imgingak Peace Park, 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, the Dora observatory, stop in the Unification Village for a delicious lunch, and cross the Red Suspension Bridge on Gamaksan. We got a full day of learning and exploring, and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our amazing tour guide Lina navigated all the government-related aspects of the tour for us and was very clear on what we could and couldn't do to comply with government regulations, and what was safe and not safe. She educated us on Korean history and also included personal stories from her life and family. As someone not from Korea, it really helped me understand a little more about how and why these events were so significant to Korean history, and begin to understand some of the nuance that exists in the relationships between South Korea and North Korea and their people. I am personally never a fan of guided tours - I like wandering off and finding my own adventure. But without doing a guided tour with a capable tour guide, you will miss almost all of this. I highly recommend doing this tour while you are visiting South Korea, and if you are lucky like we were, you will get Lina as your guide. It was one of my favorite experiences I've ever had on any of my travels.

Overal great experience of the DMZ - Impressive experience and Kelly is a really nice and competent tourguide. The tunnel is quite exausting but interesting. We had very good weather and a great view from the observatory over North Korea. We booked through get your guide where the starting time was stated as 9.30. Unfortunately it was 10.00 in reality and we had to wait for people being late thats why it ist only 4 out of 5. The tour itself was 5/5.
