I participated in Hong's guided tour. There was a lot I didn't know, but he explained it in an easy-to-understand way and I learned a lot. I would like to participate again when I can see the observation deck again!

This your is extremely worth it. The administration team was prompt when the boat tour was unavailable and easy to qork with. it turns out that is a good thing since we got Julie as our tour guide. she is full of energy and a super star tour guide who knows so much. we are thankful for all her insights and for keeping us on track. the tunnel portion of the trip was hard work so be prepared! whe the JSA opens back up we will return and make sure we tour with Julie again!

I had always wanted to go to the DMZ, so I applied for this tour. It was early in the morning, but we didn't have to wait long and everything went smoothly, so it was a valuable experience. The explanations by our guide, Moon Young, were easy to understand.
