Touring was excellent; Katie took time to explain some history, which was helpful. She is 5/5! The tunnel was eye opening. We were not informed of changes pickup location, and luckily we called the number the day before.

The tour was well organized, and Spring was a perfect guide - she gave very valuable insights on the Korean history and the developments in the DMZ, but also on how Koreans are in general. 10 out of 10!

The tour was super interesting. There was something to see at every stop and there was enough time to explore the places ourselves. Our guide Daria was fantastic. She had lots of information at her fingertips and organized the whole tour really well. Highly recommended!
