A very insightful tour! - This was a great tour. Our guide, Veronica, showed us interesting sites and gave us insightful information. As a foreigner, it gave me a better understanding of Korea's history as well as the current situation between North and South Korea. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting South Korea.

We learnt a lot about the history and current way of life between North and South Korea. Brian was great - he was enthusiastic and fun!

An excellent day trip from Seoul - My friends and I really really the DMZ and Suspension bridge tour. The tour was informative and I gained a much better insight into Korean history and the realities of life and relations between North and South Korea. It was fascinating to walk through one of the tunnels built by North Korea. Veronica was an excellent guide - she was so well informed, answered all of our questions, was very pleasant and the day ran very smoothly. Thank you. The day was a very well worth while day trip from Seoul.
