Reviews
We had a great experience and learned a lot during the trip. Nova was an excellent tour guide who was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything enjoyable. We had a pleasant trip from start to finish and would highly recommend this tour to others. Thank you, Nova, for making our journey so memorable!
the DMZ tour with GoGo was my favorite experience of my entire Korea trip! this is a must-do for anyone coming to Korea. it was the perfect mix of learning history and culture, physical activity walking up to the bridge, and witnessing remnants of history first hand as you walk through the invasion tunnels or look out at North Korea through the observatory. the defector talk was incredibly compelling, and there was Q&A time so come prepared with questions. And most importantly, I think a tour is only as good as the guide you have. GoGo with VIP Travel was incredible -- he recounted the history of conflict between North and South Korea from a perspective that I hadn't considered before, and it was very moving. he had profound insight about all of the stops that we made. choose GoGo as your tour guide if given the option!
This was a great tour! it rained a little during our trip, but Diane our tour guide made the experience worthwhile. She was dynamic and very knowledgeable. Even when it rained Diane creatively pivoted to make sure that we didn’t miss a beat. She knows her stuff and throughout was very positive and outgoing. She called us Kings and Queens, which boost our group’s morale. I have been on quite a few tours, but this one was quite organized and efficient for the amount of places we visited. I highly recommended it!
This DMZ tour was an amazing experience ! It was informative, active, and the scenery was beautiful. Special mention to our guide, Judy was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole tour enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Korea!
A truely valuable, special and indepth experience to learn more about the tension between North and South korea. Bella gave a wide range of information - from history background to personal accounts, making it an inspiring tour.
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!!
