Bill Hwang gave us an incredible tour of the Korean DMZ and memorials. His deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and respect for the sites made the experience both educational and moving. Bill struck the perfect balance between historical detail and thoughtful reflection, helping us truly appreciate the significance of the locations. He was professional, organized, and attentive to our group’s needs throughout the tour. We highly recommend Bill for an unforgettable and meaningful DMZ experience!

Good experience! Even though I feel like views from the Lotte Tower or just from the Namsan Mointain are enough I recommend visiting this iconic place in Seoul

Sangyong is a very polite and helpful driver. Driving skill is superb and patient. He even helped us booked a table in a halal restaurant he recommended after our Nami Island trip. Do note that 10hrs is not enough to cover Nami Island and another place. So we head home after Nami Island. Price is a little pricey

It's very nice to watch, there's a plot going on, and the utensils are all kitchen pots and pans. It's recommended to buy a place on the first floor, as there will be a lot of opportunities for interaction. It’s super convenient to be in a building in the busy area of Myeongdong! !

One of my favorite shows in Seoul. It takes about 15 minutes to walk in Myeongdong, or you can also take the subway for one stop. I have seen it several times, and the experience is different every time.
