Enjoyable tour of the DMZ and beyond! - I would strongly recommend this tour. Kane, our guide was friendly, organised and gave us in depth information about the DMZ and the history of Korea beyond what you would expect on a tour. As it was a smaller group, I felt very comfortable asking questions. It was a fascinating day made more enjoyable by our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. We also enjoyed the chocolate snack!

Bill was fantastic I would gladly take a bigger group and do it again - My time with Bill was very good he lept up a clear line of communication setting up where to meet and my expectations of the day. He was very nice and was clearly sharing his experiences and knowledge of the DMZ. He was overly patient with us, and the group was small enough to feel comfortable to ask questions and have a dialogue with him. This trip was also selected because of the fact that it went to multiple places I wanted to go that relate to the Korean war/ DMZ. This experience was worth 2x what I paid. He even assisted in capturing the attached photos. I appreciated that unlike some of the other tour guides Bill wasn't constantly spouting information at us not letting us take in the experience ourselves. He would give an overview/explanation and would gladly take further questions. Also if I get this tour again I would specify Bill. Thank you for this trip.

Best DMZ tour to pick for dedicated attention. - Our group was a small one meaning there was more attention and freedom for each guest. There are no steps going down the tunnel although it's a pretty steep slope but can be done fairly comfortably with rest stops accompanied by benches throughout first part of the tunnel. Our guide, Bill, was very friendly and approachable. He offered to take group photos without prompting. As we travelled with elderly folk,he offered to go up and down the tunnel at our pace to make sure we were ok. There arent too many photo opportunities as you can't bring a camera to the tunnels and also can't take photos facing North Korea. There are soldiers in the viewing platform who will look out for such activity. For solo travellers, you're in luck as he typically gives his free ice cream to them. Make sure you buy the soy bean ice cream after the trip as it's the delicacy of the area. The War Memorial was another highlight as it narrates the trials and tribulations of the country after WW2 and the subsequent Korean war. Bill shared the various stories with us in a condensed and concise form, which made it easy to understand. There's too much to cover in the war memorial for this tour so another self paced visit might be required to finish all there is to see.

Exceptional Tour Experience with Ann Jung – Highly Recommended! - Our tour guide, Ann Jung, was excellent and exceeded my expectations in many ways. She reached out to me well in advance of the trip and kindly assisted me with all my questions. During the trip, she ensured everything was going smoothly, and even after the trip, she followed up to wish me a wonderful vacation in Korea. The trip offered excellent value for money, and I can warmly recommend tours led by Ann Jung.

Great tour with excellent tour guide to the DMZ - Kane Kim was our tour guide. He was very polite and knowledgeable. He made sure that we stay on schedule, and handled everything for us effortlessly. He even provided us with snacks and water! The tour to the DMZ, Dora Observatory, and the museum in Seoul was great! We would recommend this tour. Thank you, Kane!

Amazing host, small group - Jae Seo was the best tour guide I’ve ever had!! I’ve traveled all around the world and have never experienced someone so prepared and knowledgeable. She seemed to have the web in her brain as she answered every question the group had. She also had a printed card, flag and a very large tablet she carried around all day to help educate us. Jae Seo said she was prepared for everything with it (bad weather), etc and I believe it. A truly dedicated host. We were a group of 7 and scored with a smaller van and less people.

Fantastic I highly recommend this tour - This tour is a strong Recommendation. The bus was comfortable and the schedule wasn't too quick or too slow and was just good. Most of all, thank you for meeting Bill, a friendly and pleasant Guide. Every story you've told me today, especially every story you've shared with me at the War Memorial, was amazing. If you had only visited the DMZ without visiting the War Memorial, you would have really regretted it.
