Best Experience Ever! - Overall, it was a great experience. Sunny, our guide, was very attentive. She provided clear instructions and helpful background. We really enjoyed this DMZ tour, especially the views from the observatory, walk down the tunnel, and lunch at Unification Village.

GoGo is a great guide! - GoGo was a great guide! He was pleasant and helpful in the very best way. He gave us interesting information and also helped us to get vegetarian meals at our lunch buffet. We really loved the way he worked out the difficult scheduling of the DMZ activities and he made it all happen for our group! We really appreciate him and the happy memories that we will have of the day!
