Gabby our tour guide gives us very detailed and informative history on our trips with videos and pictures which are very helpful. Personally I enjoy so much for this day trip, I would recommend to my friends when they visit Korea. Well done Gabby and Cheers
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. We are not history people but going on this tour gave us an insight of how things were back then. Our tour guide, Emily, has a wealth of knowledge. She really knows her history. You get to travel with an amazing group and it does not feel rushed at all even though you do so much in just 7-8 hours. Thank you Emily and team.
Had a great time at the DMZ Tour + JSA Museum with VIP Travel, and our tour guide Nova was great - she kept sharing context and history throughout the trip, so each stop felt a lot more meaningful than it would’ve otherwise. We saw a number of fascinating places related to the war, and the JSA Museum was a special addition. The whole tour also ran smoothly, thanks Nova!!
This all in one the best DMZ tour. Got to experience the highlights of DMZ, with JSA museum, with our tour guide Gogo, he was very informative on the history of Korea. This tour does have steep trails, be aware, Gogo was very encouraging that we all can do it. Great tour, DMZ was on our bucket list to do in Korea, checked off done with Gogo!
This tour was amazing, so many great opportunities to enjoy a day trip from Seoul. Our guide, Gogo, provided us with great insights at every stop of the tour. His friendly, professional demeanour truly made the experience memorable. For those looking for a special opportunity beyond many other tours, the inclusion of the JSA Museum was an added bonus. Highly recommend this tour!!
gabby was a great guide and her explanation was really good with her own style. she managed time really well so we avoided the crowds, which i really appreciate that. i would recommend this tour to anyboday.
Recommend this tour. Crystal was a fantastic guide and made the day very informative and it ran smoothly throughout. Itinerary is about right with enough time at each stop to look around and you’re not waiting around either. The JSA Museum is smaller than we expected and takes around 20 minutes, so if you are in a rush to get back to Seoul, maybe the JSA Musuem is not a must visit for you. But I would recommend if you have time. We booked the 7am start and arrived back in Seoul around 4pm.
The tour was amazing! From start to finish, it was informative, offered great views, and with our weather, it was simply unbeatable. I would have loved to stay longer in many places. You do need a bit of stamina to keep up. My tour guide, Kelly, was friendly, humorous, told us an incredible amount and taught us so much, gave tips and recommendations, and provided a wonderful photo service. My tour went to the lake at the end, and the weather was perfect for that exact spot. Thank you for your expertise, Kelly. It was superb!
Nancy was an amazing tour guide.If you can get the chance to pick:Pick her She was friendly and helpful throughout the tour being attentive to everyone while being professional. She had amazing bites of information that just value-added to the tour and made life easier like what to buy for souvenirs and what to eat which made it much more special. Her English was also fluent and loud so we did not have any issues understanding her The tour itself was well thought out.We had enough time at each location to explore and it was not rushed. Highly Reccomended! Bonus information:If you want to see the JSA Museum, this tour company is the ONLY tour company that has access to it so if you want to see it,you have to pick them.
An experience for life! The tour is an opportunity to have a unique experience, to learn about history, and to touch your heart. The trip was high-quality on a luxury bus, and the best part was our guide, Nancy. She did a great job explaining each site and taking us through the history of Korea with her charisma. Thank you so much! Team Nancy!
