Seoul Aegibong Peace Eco Park Guided Day Tour

Booked a group tour but turns out to be a private tour of 2 😂The guide BK was knowledgeable and share the history of the Korean / Japan War and how eventually North and South was divided. It was a rainy day today but nonetheless the skies clear up to be able to see the propaganda village and the North Korean people farming along with their cattle. Visited the new DMZ starbucks, quite amazing to sip your coffee and have a North Korea view at the same time. It was a good experience and thank you very much for the personalised tour by BK guide. Highly recommend.

It was a very insightful yet relaxing tour. Visiting the Starbucks with a view of North Korea is a must, plus the many pieces if information shared by our tour guide, Ms. Felicity. She is the best! The visit to Hyundai Premium Outlet was quite short though, but we managed to have our hands full with shopping bags 😅 Would definitely recommend this package ❤️

This Starbucks, which is just over one kilometer away from North Korea, was newly opened at the end of last year. The military controls vehicles at the entrance to the park, so it is highly recommended to take a day trip! The tour guide is not only responsible for helping everyone with ticket and park entry procedures, but also sharing the history and knowledge of North Korea. Outside Starbucks is an entire observation tower with no obstructions from which you can see North Korean land directly with your naked eyes. We even saw North Korean soldiers through binoculars. It was very memorable. At noon, we went to Gimpo Hyundai Outlet for lunch and shopping. This is also a place that is not very convenient for tourists to come from Seoul. It is very good to have a special car to take you there. There are many brands inside, from boutiques to sports brands. However, I personally feel that the discounts are average. However, there are not many people on weekdays so the shopping experience is good. Finally, I would like to give special thanks to our tour leader Felicity, who can speak four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. That’s amazing… For those who like historical and cultural experiences, those who come to Korea may wish to add this special tour to their various shopping and food itineraries. It will definitely leave you with deep memories.

The last min availability to book this tour is really great for solo traveller with spontaneous trip itinerary. I joined this tour with Mr.Shin as our guide, he’s very nice and fluent in English explaining some facts about North and South Border. I appreciate the direct msg he sent to make sure to give instructions and spots to explore. The pickup Transfer/driver is on time. Recommended for the rest to book the tour! :)

It felt like a private tour with just the three of us and one other person, making a total of four. Our guide, handsome Kim, was very kind and shared a lot of information about Korea. The Starbucks at the DMZ isn't very big, but at the observatory, North Korea was so close. We were looking for people with binoculars, like searching for UFOs, and we saw someone riding a bicycle. Listening to Mr. Kim talk about the Korean War made me think a lot. On the way back, the person who came with us didn't want to go to the outlet, so it became a completely private tour. He took us to a local restaurant, which was a valuable experience. I would like to go again if I have the chance.

I was looking forward to enjoying Starbucks while overlooking North Korea, but due to insufficient participants, it was changed to a DMZ tour including Imjingak and the Third Tunnel. I was a little bummed because I imagined the tunnel would be exhausting, but I was able to enjoy a different café while looking at a steam locomotive destroyed in the Korean War and the actual Kaesong Industrial Complex. The tunnel had a very steep slope, and going down was difficult to walk and felt long, but going up felt faster to me and wasn't that hard. I was very satisfied with the wonderful guide provided by Ms. Lee Mi-yeon!

Great new itinerary, the tour operator uses an 8-seater car, which is more comfortable to ride. The smart tour guide is very nice and explains geography and history in great detail. I highly recommend everyone to sign up.

Our tour guide, Ms. Jean, was very kind and thorough throughout the trip. She explained the history between South and North Korea, and upon arriving at Aegibong Peak, she quickly led us to Starbucks and the telescope area to secure a good spot. We were truly able to see North Korean territory, its people, cattle, farming machinery, and a performance village. This trip to Korea was definitely worth it! 👍👍👍

Our tour guide today was JEAN~ Super friendly, spoke excellent Chinese, and provided very clear explanations. We learned about the history of North and South Korea and the origins of the Demilitarized Zone! It snowed the night before we came to Aegibong Peak, and I was worried we wouldn't be able to see North Korea. Fortunately, the weather at Aegibong Peak was great, very comfortable, and there's even a Starbucks where you can drink warm coffee. Plus, you can buy an Aegibong Starbucks city mug! It's a great memento~

Had a wonderful trip! First time was self tour, but this time we took a group tour. this was much easier - from pick up to drop off. Yeoni from Seoul City Tour was an excellent guide! speaks perfect English and was very helpful and practical (especially with getting you into Starbucks first before the mayhem starts!) It was a clear day and Nirh Korea was clearly visible. Yeoni helped me find the huge waving North Korean flag way beyond the mountains o through the binoculars. There were also, surprisingly, quite a few groups of North Koreans visible today as well. All in all, an enjoyable tour with still a lot of time in the afternoon for seeing the rest of downtown Seoul. Definitely recommend this to anyone interested in looking into North Korea.
