Eugeen/Hanki Lee was phenomenal!!! I was tired because I just arrived in Korea earlier this morning and then joined the tour after 2 hours lol I had no sleep but Eugeen’s energy was amazing!! I was awake the whole time because he’s really entertaining and knowledgeable. You have a really great tour guide. Please take care of him. He is genuine, he is a real person who is passionate not just about his job but also about your whole country. I love Eugeen!! Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends. I hope they get Eugeen as their tour guide too!!!

It was so much fun! Starting from the Gwanghwamun Ticket Center, we took a scenic route around the Han River, and the breeze was lovely. The night view of the Han River was also beautiful. The 20-minute break at Namsan Tower at the end was also great. The night view of Seoul from the top of the mountain was wonderful! It was fantastic to enjoy a night view drive for an hour and a half.

Cindy is an amazing guide and she is really knowledgable and caring. The tour was so interesting and informative as we went to the beautiful majang lake, the 3rd tunnel of aggression and the observatory. Interesting experience as we were able to see North Korea upclose at the observatory and observed the citizens. This tour is definitely a must-go, especially for those who are interested in the history of korea and the North-South relations.

We had an amazing day on this tour, and a big part of that was our guide, Andrew. He was friendly, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable, explaining the history of the DMZ and North Korea in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely interesting (he has some personal experience which he shared).
There is quite a bit of walking, but don't let that put you off—it was well worth it. Visiting the Third Infiltration Tunnel was definitely the highlight of the day. It was a unique experience that really puts the history into perspective. We also got to look across into North Korea and could actually see people going about their daily lives, including riding bicycles and motorcycles, which was something we'll never forget.
If you're visiting Korea, this tour is a must. It was informative, eye-opening, and one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Thanks, Andrew, for making it such a great day!
