Review for: DMZ only Join-In Tour (10:00 Departure) + NK Defector Meet up

Awesome experience. Beyond the busy Myeongdong and Lotte shopping district, this is an educational tour not to be missed if you are in Seoul. AJ from Seoul City Tour gave lengthy and clear explanations of each stop. With a pinch of humour in between. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Did the tour with the meet up with NK defector. Inspiring story.

Jenn was an amazing guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole DMZ tour both informative and enjoyable. She explained the history clearly, answered everyone’s questions patiently, and kept the trip well organized. The local resident sharing session was especially meaningful. Thank you, Jenn, for making this such a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

The tour was very informative and our tour guide Lily gave great insights ahead of each stop to make the most of our visit. The use of the bus screen was great as Lily projected photos and videos that provided good background information about the war, families reunited in the 80s, and remaining issues for the Korean society. Our tour guide brought great energy and was kind, punctual and very helpful - thank you!

We had an amazing experience on the DMZ tour with Erica as our guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and explained the history. The tour was well organised, the transfer was smooth and gave us a really meaningful insight into Korea’s history and the DMZ. Meeting the North Korean defector was also very powerful and something we won’t forget. Erica made the whole day enjoyable and easy to follow. Highly recommend this tour!

Review for: DMZ only Join-In Tour (08:00 Departure) + NK Defector Meet up

The DMZ Tour was an absolute highlight of my trip. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, informative, and meaningful, gave me a much deeper appreciation for Korea's history and culture. Our tour guide, Lily, is very outstanding. She brought so much energy,warmth, and knowledge that the whole group felt genuinely cared for. What impressed me most is how she managed 30+ people with remarkable professionalism and patience, while somehow making the experience feel personal. She's friendly, organized, and fun, yet kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. Her passion for what she does is immediately obvious, and her positive attitude lifted us up the entire day. She is the kind of guide who leaves a lasting impression long after the tour ends. thank you to Seoul City Tour and an even bigger thank you to Lily for her dedication and genuine care. I would absolutely book again and will happily recommend them to everyone. I sincerely hope Lily is there to guide us on our next visit!

This is a great half day tour while learning about the history of North and South Korea. Felicity was our tour guide and she was very patient, kind, informative and funny! It was easy to check in with her at Myeongdong station. There are many tour busses that go to DMZ, but we were always the first bus at each stop. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide!

Review for: DMZ Join-In Tour with Mt. Gamaksan Suspension Bridge + NK Defector Meet up

Dora was an excellent guide, your was very insightful, the tunnel was boring and long for no reason just to look at the grass and the door. at least that’s a box that has been ticked. I ate a really good hotdog at the end of the tour. everything was very well timed and organised, Dora ran a tight ship and ran everything like clockwork.
