Observatório mais próximo da DMZ: Visão da Coreia do Norte (Tour do Starbucks)

Tuvimos un tour 'privado' en inglés que valió muchísimo la pena. ¡Nara fue genial! Nos dio una breve historia de Aegibong y ayudó a un miembro de nuestro grupo que no pudo subir a Starbucks. ¡Sigue con el buen trabajo, Nara!

Join the Japanese afternoon tour! It was a very satisfying tour! I watched Crash Landing on You a bit late, but I really wanted to visit the DMZ! I participated with my family of four, including my children. It was a great experience for my children, as I wanted them to learn about the current situation on the Korean Peninsula. The driver drove carefully, and Mr. Lee's guide was enjoyable. I learned a lot about the history of South and North Korea and the meaning of Aegi Peak. The guide also clearly explained the time allocation at each site, so we were able to smoothly visit the Starbucks we wanted to go to! Also, the view of North Korea from the DMZ, which was our main destination, was wonderful. On the way back, they played games, so the children didn't get bored. Even after the tour ended, they kindly told us how to get to the places we wanted to go, and we got there without getting lost! Thank you very much! The weather was good... it was hot, but it became the best memory of this trip! I would love to join Mr. Lee's tour again!

I participated with Sonyoung as our guide. Her Japanese was excellent, and her explanations about the history of the Korean Peninsula, the Korean War, and present-day North Korea were detailed and very easy to understand, making it a great learning experience. The weather was also nice, and it was great that we could clearly see North Korea. There are two paths to Starbucks: a zigzag path with a suspension bridge and a fairly steep slope. It seems most people choose the former, but strongly encouraged by Sonyoung, we took the slope. Although it is a steep slope and tiring, I felt that taking the slope got us to Starbucks faster than the zigzag path. Actually, while the zigzag path takes 10 to 15 minutes, you can get to the slope in just 5 minutes! As for Starbucks, it is quite crowded, so if you want to drink inside, you should definitely secure a seat first. It's difficult if you're alone, but if you go quickly using the slope, you can get a seat, and it was also nice to drink outside while looking at North Korea. Sonyoung was very kind and friendly, took pictures with us, and casual conversations outside of her guidance were also a lot of fun! Thank you very much!

First and foremost, Guide Song-yong's personality and the content of the tour were absolutely excellent! On the way to our destination, she taught us about the history between North and South Korea in a detailed and engaging way, which was very educational. After learning, seeing North Korean buildings and people through a telescope was completely different from just looking at a landscape. It evoked various emotions, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you so much. Finally, I would also like to thank Mr. Ki for his safe driving. I highly recommend this tour! ♡

The tour guide gave detailed explanations. We went into Starbucks first thing in the morning, and afterward, we were able to take our time exploring the propaganda village. To avoid the lines, walking up the slope from the bus stop to Starbucks was quite tough, but it turned out to be a great decision because we had extra time later to look around and take photos. The talk we had with the tour guide while gathering outside Starbucks was also very educational.

I participated in this solo trip from Japan. Although it was only a transfer without a guide, Mr. Im, the guide, explained the deep history of North and South Korea in detail in the car, which became a great learning opportunity. The Starbucks at Aegibong is currently a hot topic on social media, but it was located at the top of a considerable mountain after climbing a steep slope. It was a shame that the tree-shaped bridge was under construction and couldn't be used, but from the observatory, North Korea was visible to the naked eye, and through binoculars, I could see many people working on rice planting. The scenery was also wonderfully beautiful, and I think it's worth visiting at least once. It took about an hour and a half by car from Myeongdong.

it’s focused on the history of the DMZ so many good info and facts given by our tour guide Dragon. Dragon is very knowledgeable with history it was very interesting thank you! Also it was a clear day and was able to see the North Korea flag from the view point. That day we spotted what seems to be farmers doing a harvest. The timing was perfect for us as we were able to sit down inside Starbucks to cool down and get some drinks with a view. The Agibong Peace park was a beautiful place close to nature. The bridge to the view point was manageable to walk, our 6 year old did well, and it was half day tour so not too hectic.

I participated in the guide tour with Mr. Tan, and he was an incredibly friendly and articulate guide! When we handed him the Starbucks takeout receipts, Mr. Tan brought the drinks to each participant, allowing us to leisurely enjoy the scenery of North Korea. You can view North Korea through the free binoculars. The weather was also great, so I was able to take many photos, and I'm very satisfied. Thank you very much!

I saw on Instagram that there's a Starbucks where you can see North Korea, and I wanted to go, so I looked it up and found this tour. We are Japanese, but we booked the English tour. People on the English tour and the Japanese tour traveled on the same bus, but we were the only ones on the English tour. Our guide, Leo, gave us a detailed and thorough tour. We took many photos and had a very meaningful time! Besides seeing North Korea, there were also many photo spots and Instagrammable locations! Leo took beautiful pictures for us, creating wonderful memories! On the way back, you can choose to get off the bus at Hongdae or Myeongdong, so if you include this tour in your schedule before going out, you can make the most of your day. It's difficult to visit this place individually, and purchasing tickets required a Korean phone number and credit card. This tour handles everything in advance, so you can enjoy it very smoothly. We were lucky to have Leo as our guide! It was a lot of fun, thank you very much!

Our tour was accompanied by Dragon, an excellent guide who shared the history behind the DMZ throughout the journey, and during our visit to the observatory, he stayed with us and explained what we were seeing. It is a wonderful experience to catch a glimpse of North Korea from afar. It was a half-day trip, taking about 1 hour to get there, and we spent around 1 hour and 30 minutes at the site. The tour was conducted in English.
