Gimpo Starbucks Aegibong Peace Ecopark Half-Day Tour

Judy gave us the best history, trivia and information! Exactly the things I needed to hear, adding more value and appreciation with what I thought was just a sight-seeing tour. She deserves a raise. One of the best and informed tour-guides I experienced so far. She's so dedicated 💜

We had an amazing DMZ Tour along the North Korea border! 🇰🇷 Our tour guide, Alice, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive throughout the entire trip. She explained the history clearly and made the experience both educational and fun. We felt safe and well-taken care of every step of the way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Korea, and ask for Alice (VIP Tour)as your guide! 🌟

A very nice car picked us up at Myeongdong Station at 9:00 AM. The ride was comfortable and very pleasant. Our guide, Hana, provided the tour in English. If you don't understand English, it might be a bit difficult. There were many large tour buses at the DMZ, but Starbucks wasn't too crowded, so we were able to enjoy a relaxing cup of tea. We stayed here for about an hour, and I wish we could have stayed a bit longer. Also, there were more photo-worthy spots than I expected between the parking lot and Starbucks. We arrived at our drop-off location at around 1:56 PM. Since it's a place you can't visit on your own, I recommend joining a tour to go there.

Our guide, Claire, was the highlight of the experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, she made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. She answered all our questions and shared stories that brought the place to life. It honestly felt more like traveling with a friend than being part of a tour group. The experience was a 10/10!

Judy is a wonderful tour guide, full of joy and good stories. She was very attentive and more than willing to be a photographer at all the spots we wanted to capture our memories at. This is a wonderful tour to experience a peaceful time learning about the DMZ. You can also grab a snack/drink at the Starbucks.

Yuna was amazing and so nice! Very simple trip and easy to follow. Loved drinking a frappe and looking into North Korea. The exhibition hall had nice souvenirs. No Visa so bring cash. You can go at your own pace and look at what you want. Yuna answered all questions and was so helpful.

Alice is our tour guide and she speaks very well. Also shared the history of Korea before heading to the observatory to help us understand the journey went thru by the Koreans.

Max was a great guide and have us an insightful history as well, during the 1.5 hr ride to the observatory. Helped make the trip more enjoyable. And of course having a cup of Starbucks coffee while gazing across into NK was surreal. Glad my kiddo recommended this DMZ tour.

It was a short but relaxing and enjoyable trip with Ivy, our tour guide. She was very gracious and made it really memorable. It was wonderful to walk along a pathway crossing a suspension bridge and leading a view point overlooking North Korea.

This trip was mainly to visit the Starbucks closest to North Korea. We were very lucky to have a clear, sunny day! Our guide, Owen, was very nice and chatted with us along the way, explaining the history of the two Koreas. He patiently answered all our questions. The story of his family being separated and then reunited sounded like something straight out of a movie – super interesting! Guide Owen helped us spot a North Korean school through the binoculars, as well as North Koreans herding sheep and even riding bicycles XDDD. I didn't see any specific DMZ cups at Starbucks, not sure if they didn't have them or if they were sold out. But they did have Gyeonggi (Gyeonggi Province) city cups, which included a small DMZ section, so I brought one of those home as a souvenir XD. It was a very pleasant half-day tour, definitely worth spending a morning to come!
