Participated in this tour on Valentine's Day, February 14th. Our tour guide, Zoey, was very enthusiastic and attentive throughout the whole trip, guiding us wonderfully. The gathering, explanations on the bus, and on-site tours were all done very well, making us feel at ease. She speaks both Chinese and English fluently. Kudos to tour guide Zoey and driver Brother Li. We felt their warmth when we said goodbye at the drop-off point. This tour included Eobi Fish Stream Valley, the extra bonus Alpaca World, Petite France, Nami Island, and The Garden of Morning Calm. It was a fulfilling experience, and every attraction was worth visiting. We took lots of beautiful photos and made precious memories. The value for the price is amazing! It was a fantastic travel experience. Next time I bring my family to Korea, I will definitely book another Klook tour!

Had a blast for today! Celebrated my Birthday with this Tour - Elysian Ski. I availed All-in One Package to avoid extra pay in Rentals. Even thoug, protector pads and knee pads still not included in the All InOne. still saved money because it cost minimal amount. while others need to Rend other Ski suits. Our tour Guide Kilz and Jenny are very awesome and accomodating. Thumbs Up Klook!

Excellent. The guide is very knowledgeable. There are many tour packages to choose from. The place is worth visiting. Travel is convenient because it's with a tour. A worthwhile experience to go on at least once on a trip to Korea. Hopefully, I can return to Panmunjom on the day it reopens.

Our tour guide, “Mommy” Winnie, was extremely knowledgeable and smart. She was able to explain and provide some valuable insights about the DMZ. Looking forward to get this tour again once the JSA building is available for a visit.
