Michael was a great guide - look no further if you’re looking to book a DMZ tour with a shorter itinerary. He brings humour and a wealth of knowledge to each of the stops, sharing the rich history of this important site.

We are TEAM Michael all the way! Such and incredible half day tour of the DMZ with Michael who was a wealth of knowledge. Not only did he know all the tips and tricks to beat the crowds, he took photos for us at each location and even provided us with a certificate at the end of the trip. The trip itself was fascinating and well worth taking time out of your visit to Seoul to do. Would 100% recommend Michael and the half day tour!

Review for: DMZ Half-Day Small Group Tour with North Korean Defector

Excellent DMZ tour. Grace was a great guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and very good at explaining the history and significance of what we were seeing. We met early, which helped us get ahead of the crowds. The tour was well organized, and visiting the DMZ, observatory, and Third Tunnel gave us a much better understanding of the history and the realities of the division between North and South Korea. My one suggestion would be to include the North Korean defector conversation and Q&A in the tour price. The Q&A is optional and can be purchased separately for ₩7,000 per person, but since time for it is already specifically built into the tour itinerary, I think it would make more sense to include it as part of the tour—even if the overall tour price needs to be slightly higher. Hearing directly from a North Korean defector is a valuable part of the experience. Overall, a very interesting and worthwhile tour. Grace was excellent, and we would definitely recommend the experience.
