Just now New Our DMZ Tour is fantastic. Our tour guide, Jackie the Storyteller, is so knowledgeable and fun. He made our tour so informative and gave us a glimpse of the North and South Korea conflict. The hope of unification between North Korea and South Korea is still every Korean's dream. Thank you, Jackie, for taking us on an unforgettable and interesting experience. Highly recommended!! Thumbs up to you, Sir Jackie.
Jackie the Storyteller was a delight and had the best storytelling when delivering his service. he had a great sense of humour and all my questions about North Korea had been answered by the end of his in depth tour. I loved it and I think it was great value for my money !!
I loved this tour with Han, it was so informative. Learnt a lot about Korean history and he explained things really well. It did feel a little rushed at times but I guess that’s expected in tours like these. Definitely recommend this for someone who is coming to South Korea and want to understand more about the situation and history with north korea. The Q&A with Mrs Lee was great too, hatsoff to her for being able to talk about it after being through so much
Amazing tour and really eye-opening with our guide Jackie the storyteller! :) He really made sure we had enough background information on each spot we went to during the tour, without it being too overwhelming. I am a curious person by nature so often ask questions and he was able to answer all of them. I also had the opportunity to ask some questions to a NK-defector and hear their story of how they managed to escape, which was interesting and fascinating to hear. The tour itself is really great value for money (!) with enough stops to take pictures and free time to explore. I travelled by myself to Seoul, and would definitely recommend the tour as well for solo travellers!
Our DMZ tour with Mr. Han was an unforgettable highlight of our Korea trip. Having a North Korean defector as our guide provided a deeply personal and rare perspective that you simply can't get from a textbook. Mr. Han was insightful, engaging, and open, making the history feel truly alive. It was an educational and emotional journey that we highly recommend to anyone visiting Seoul. 10/10!
Jackie was a great guide! He was very friendly, approachable, funny, and knowledgeable about the topic. I’ve been to the war museum before, but learning about it firsthand from Jackie and Ms. Lee enriched that experience. Overall good tour, would recommend :)
The activity was incredibly educational and enjoyable, especially with the help of our guide, Mr. Han (Han Solo). He provided us with a detailed and insightful explanation of the history of the DMZ and its surrounding areas. He took the time to explain the different landmarks and scenery along the way, making everything easy to understand. Communication with Mr. Han was also very smooth, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The itinerary was well-rounded, with a great balance of sightseeing, history, and exploration. Considering the price, the tour offered excellent value for money. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the DMZ!
Han our tour guide did an exemplary job! He knows the history of South and North Korea, giving so much informations! He speaks english very well too. Helpful and friendly to tourists 🥰Their bus has a better leg room compare to a normal bus perfect for tall people.
we Loved the combination DMZ and the suspension bridge. Our guide Han Solo was a very good guide. He explained everything in a fascinating waya and always ready to answer all questions. our guide from the suspension bridge was very charming and went above and beyond to make our day perfect.
An incredible and unmissable experience to have when visiting South Korea. Our guide Jackie "the storyteller" shared the history of this historical site with great energy and kindness, I recommend him 100%! The testimony of the defector (sorry, I don't remember her name) was very enriching and poignant. Thank you for that!
