DMZ experience with Gogo - I did the tour with Gogo. Meeting point was in Myeongdong and was very close to my hostel which I’m thankful for. Our tour guide was very cool and patient with us, plus he was very knowledgeable in Korean and DMZ history which I really appreciate. We went to the Gamaksan Chulleong Bridge (red suspension bridge), Imjingak Pyeonghwa-Nuri Park, Third Tunnel and Dora Observatory. I totally recommend this tour!

A must do trip! - The tour was very well organised! The times at the different stops were not too long and because the tickets for the tunnel were booked it advance there was zero waiting time. If you want a knowledgeable and witty guide, I’ll recommend Soyoung (우 소영)! She found a really good balance between making the tour fun without taking away from the seriousness of the themes and situations!

Superior tour - Our guide Sue was amazing. She explained all the facets of the DMZ. She answered any and all questions. It was a smooth seamless day and the Gondola was a bonus. Plus we got to see a bit of Korea many others aren't able to.

DMZ Tour - The tour guide Jenny was amazing, really funny, and knowledgeable. We had a really good experience and it was a really good DMZ tour. The bus driver was professional and his driving was great and smooth. But the VIP Travel customer service was not the best. We chose the hotel pick-up up option, the customer service did not get in touch that they were unable to do hotel pick-up until I contacted Trip.com to confirm late the day before. The issue is now resolved but unpleasant experience with VIP Travel customer service.
