DMZ TOUR

The tour guide was nice. He guided us very smoothly. Sadly during DMz your, we had to rush almost all the time so it would be nice we had take more time. It doesn't depends on Victor though.

Excellent private DMZ tour with JK! Highly recommend!

Ellie_C, Feb 2023

We had a great DMZ tour with JK during our 13 hour layover in Seoul! He is super friendly, knowledgeable, and had helpful tips to help us navigate around the crowds during the DMZ tour. I cannot recommend JK enough! He went out of his way to make sure we had a memorable tour and experience during our short layover! Next time in Seoul, I will definitely book another tour with JK!!!

A great way to spend a 12 hour layover in Seoul South Korea. Very educational, very professional. It was an awesome way to spend six or seven hours.

Great family experience in Seoul

Max_T, Mar 2020

Sadly missed seeing DMZ as closed due to swine flu, BUT, had a great city tour with knowledgeable, friendly & professional guide. Pickup & drop off on time - and a great way to full the day while waiting for next flight out. Learnt a lot about Korea in the process - Thanks!

Excellent tour

Had an excellent tour, and a very nice and well informed guide. Last minute change as DMZ was closed due to African Swine Flu, did a Seoul tour and observation post tour instead. Highly recommended!

Nice Tour

Wanchai_S, Sept 2019

This was nice tour and with a personal tour guide. My first chance to see outside of Incheon airport, I had a 8 hour layover and took advantage of this time to see something and this tour provided me this opportunity. Mr Song was very friendly and knowledgeable about the DMZ.
