DMZ Second Tunnel with the charming guide Orota - This was my second trip to the DMZ but Orota adjusted the content so the info package became even more relevant. She answered all questions easily and was very friendly all the time. She also took many photos at the right places and sent them to me while traveling back to Seoul. I will recommend her guiding services to anyone!

It was a very satisfying tour! - We were able to tour the area while our guide, Park Chan, explained the history of Cholon in detail. We were able to get closer to the military demarcation line than we expected and see North Korean territory, so we were very satisfied. Cholon is not only the DMZ, but also a place where many cranes and migratory birds live, so it was nice to be able to see a lot of birds.

A tour tracing the little-known history of the Korean War in Japan - When you think of the DMZ, you probably think of the Third Tunnel and Panmunjom, but Cheorwon is also one of the places you should definitely visit. It may not be well known in Japan, but this was also a fierce battlefield during the Korean War, and you can trace its traces on the tour. It was once part of North Korean territory, so it is also attractive to be able to visit historical sites from the time of North Korean rule. Unlike the propaganda village, the North Korean territory and flag visible beyond the military demarcation line spread across a vast area were impressive. The Second Tunnel is said to be easier to walk through than the Third Tunnel, with no slope. The dynamite left by the North Korean army was also vivid. The tour conductor, Park Chan, carefully explained the history in fluent Japanese, so even without studying beforehand, I was able to learn about and enjoy the history of Cheorwon. Another good memory is that he actively took a lot of photos. I was impressed by the columnar joints of the UNESCO World Heritage Geopark that we visited in the afternoon, and I was able to experience the majestic nature that I cannot experience in Seoul, and I was able to spend a very fulfilling time. There were a lot of tourists and there were some places I wasn't able to go to this time, so I would definitely like to take this tour again.

The best DMZ experience you will ever had! - Our guide was Ms. Heidi she was very friendly and very welcoming. It was the great experience which you will never find in any other places. I will recommend this tour if anyone is considering especially those who wants to explore dmz more deeply. It is the right tour. The food was in a very nice restaurant, winner of some Korean cousine award, very delicious food. The weather was perfect, a lot of snow, but I wanted more snow! xD. Most recommended!!

Good mix with culture and some walks - To leave at 7 in the morning was very smart because there was no traffic, we reached all places right in time without stress, the driver was also good . We loved that our tour guide informed us with many interests stories about history and other things. The program with all topics was good because we had a lot of info and additional some nice walks in between and at the afternoon thanks to our guide
