It was such a wonderful day visiting North Korean border DMZ half day tour today with pleasantly cool weather, which made our tour extremely comfortable. Our guide Jason was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He gave us vivid and detailed introductions to the long history of the South Korea as well as general information about Skorea, helping us gain a deeper understanding of this amazing place. Every part of the sightseeing was well arranged, and we enjoyed every moment walking along the magnificent places. The stunning scenery and rich cultural heritage left us deeply impressed. This fantastic trip brought us great joy and unforgettable memories. We truly had a fantastic and fulfilling half-day here, and highly recommend this tour to everyone coming to South Korea and recommend highly as well Jason as the tour guide .

Had an amazing time exploring the DMZ and MDL! The tour exceeded all my expectations. A massive shout-out to Mr. SJ for being such a fantastic guide; his knowledge and energy made the trip truly unforgettable. Loved every minute of it!
Our DMZ tour with PLK Tours was an absolute highlight of our trip, and that was largely thanks to our incredible guide, handsome Leo. He was incredibly knowledgeable, providing deep historical context and fascinating stories that you just can't get from a guidebook. Leo was also professional, punctual, and made sure the entire group felt comfortable throughout the day. If you’re booking this tour, definitely ask for Leo!I am writing to express my satisfaction with the DMZ tour I took recently. Our guide, Leo, provided exceptional service. His storytelling brought the history of the area to life, and his ability to manage the schedule while keeping the atmosphere light and informative was impressive. He is a great asset to your team.
I learned a lot about the complexities of conflict between North and South Korea and the history behind it. Jason was very knowledgeable especially since he just recently retired from his service in the military.
Eddie is a fantastic guide! His first-hand experience at the DMZ added a layer of depth you won't find on a standard tour. He was full of fascinating details, yet gave us ample time to explore and take photos at our own pace. If you're looking for an educational and well-organized DMZ experience, this is the one to book!
SJ of PLK travel for DMZ tour is the best! We had a great time, he is highly knowledgeable officer and shared many interesting stories from military background. I eould recommend him to everyone visiting DMZ
The trip was enjoyable. We were met by Eddie Choi who was our tour leader for the day. Being an ex military officer attached at the DMZ, he offered us extremely invaluable information and insights. Eddie was also funny and made the entire experience truly spectacular. Thanks Eddie and keep up the great work!
SJ is an extraordinarily knowledgeable and physically fit tour guide. He gives us a lot of information about North and South Korea, and he helps me learn more about the Korean army. In my opinion, anyone who enjoys the military should take this tour.
Our guide Eddie was fantastic. The tour of the DMZ area was extremely informative and educational, and we learned a lot about the history and significance of the region. Eddie knows this area very well — his experience as a former soldier stationed in the DMZ added valuable real-life insights and context that made the tour even more meaningful. We really appreciated his clear explanations, engaging stories, and professionalism throughout the trip. Highly recommended!
Eddie was a very fun and friendly tour guide. As a former soldier, he is very knowledgeable about the places we visited. He also shared some of his personal experiences. Would definitely recommend him!
