Brilliant DMZ Tour with Emily in Korea - Really good tour of the DMZ, our guide Emily (in Korea!) was fantastic. Really informative, and kept us informed throughout the day about where we would be going, giving us tips on what to look out for at different sites. She was great at answering question's with some humour too!
The coach was punctual, clean, and comfy. Couldn't have asked for a better tour, highly recommended.

Unique experience of rare world situation. - We really enjoyed such a unique experience, the only demilitarized zone in the world. Our tour guide, Emily, was extremely organized and helpful in explaining the rich history of the DMZ. With a tour bus with multiple stops and security check points, her organization really kept us on time.
