Great day-trip option for a DMZ visit - I had a great experience with VIP Travel for the DMZ Tour. They had good communication regarding pick-up locations and information to know prior to the date of the tour. On the tour itself, my guide Gabby (Geunyeong Bae) did a great job giving us information about the upcoming stops including things to look out for once at the destination along with history on the relationship between North and South Korea both overall and as it related to our stops. Would recommend for anyone interested in visiting the DMZ!

Fun activity for active persons - Visited the DMZ Zone while in Seoul. This is a good activity if you enjoy historical and cultural sights. I would not recommend for persons with small children as it is a full day activity and can be tiring. It does require a lot of walking, up and down hills and steep terrains. We visited the suspension bridge, rode the gondola across the river, and went into the 3rd tunnel, which is not for persons who are claustrophobic or can't walk long distances. However, it was a good experience and I would recommend.

DMZ and Red Suspension Bridge - Emily was a treat and very kind. The tour was very informative with plenty of free time for pictures. I like that they do not take you to some place to try to sell you something like some other tours.
