Seoul: DMZ Aegibong Starbucks at Hanok at Scenic/Historical Day Tour

Our driver and guide Michael was the best ! He was very friendly and funny which made the journey more comfortable for us. The group was also small which made it easier to manage time and travel. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone !

I really enjoyed seeing North Korea from Aegibong and Eunpyeong Hanok village, and Michael our tour guide was incredible. He was funny, kind, and while we waited to eat our lunch together, he taught me some Korean too. As a solo traveller, I really appreciated how I felt included in the group and how much Michael taught me about Korea and the Korean language. I’m so glad I chose this small group tour and Michael made it a truly incredible experience.

Mahusay ang ginawa nina Michael at Sunny sa tour! Ang paborito kong parte ay ang makita ang tanawin ng North Korea mula sa Starbucks sa Aegibong. Ito ang aking unang buong araw sa South Korea, kaya kamangha-mangha rin na makita ang Eunpyeong Hanok Village at Jingwansa Temple. Ang village ay mas hindi matao kumpara sa naririnig ko tungkol sa Bukshon. Ang isa pang highlight ay ang restaurant, hindi ako gaanong pamilyar sa pagkaing Korean maliban sa KBBQ, kaya napakagandang may isang lokal na makakapagpatikim sa akin ng isang bagay na hindi ko sana naisip na subukan! Sina Michael at Sunny ay palaging handang kumuha ng mga litrato mo sa iba't ibang lokasyon na napakaganda rin. Ang mga kwento tungkol sa kasaysayan sa bawat isa sa mga lokasyon ay nakatulong din upang magbigay ng higit na konteksto na lubos kong pinahahalagahan (isang Amerikanong hindi gaanong alam ang kasaysayan ng Korea). Lubos na inirerekomenda.

Sina Michael at Sunny ang pinakamahusay na tour guide! Napakabait at napaka-friendly nila. Lubos na inirerekomenda at dinala nila kami sa pinakamagandang Korean restaurant para sa tanghalian! Marami silang ibinahagi tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Korea at natuto kami ng ilang pangunahing Korean! Napaka-nakakaaliw! Nakita namin ang tanawin ng North Korea sa Aegibong at nagustuhan namin ang Eunyeong Hanok Village.

Magandang karanasan ang magkape sa umaga na may tanawin ng kanayunan ng North Korea. Maganda ang tanawin para sa Eunpyeong Hanok Village at ang huling hinto ay ang Ginseng Museum. Ang aming tour guide na si Sky ay napakasaya at may magandang pagpili ng musika habang naglalakbay.

Our guide Yohan was really great. He planned his itinerary very well so we were able to enjoy Aegibong park, Jingwansa temple and Eunpyeong at a nice pace, and really absorb his historical and cultural explanations. Also, Aegibong observatory is so high up, the roads to and from can be winding, but Yohan drove them quite well!

英語、中国語ツアーだったので少し言葉の不安を抱えての参加でしたが、私たちのガイド、マイケルはとても楽しい人で、ゆっくりとわかりやすく英語を話してくれたので、十分に楽しむ事ができました。北朝鮮の見えるスターバックスに個人で行くにはハードルが高いので、ツアーに参加して大正解でした。とても効率良く観光でき、有意義な1日になりました。ガイドのマイケル、ご一緒させていただいた皆様、本当にありがとうございました。

Our guide Michael made this whole trip an absolutely wonderful experience. He was able to converse with our varied group in English, Japanese and Chinese. He made the trip very personable and injected a lot of good humour and knowledge into the day. This is a small group (vehicle sits about 10 ppl). I'm just noting this down for info.

really great day the meet up area in Hongdae was really easy. the guide Jay had messaged me the night before confirming the pick up area. which was fantastic clear communication picked us up in his van. He was very personable a lovely gentleman and very knowledgeable. Had a great day.

Chris is simply the best guide in Seoul! We took the DMZ Aegibong & Hanok tour, and he was brilliant. His knowledge of the Observatory, Suspension Bridge, and Jingwansa Temple was engaging, and his driving was smooth and safe. What truly set Chris apart was his incredible care. As a strict Celiac traveler, dining in Korea is usually stressful. Chris went above and beyond to find us a safe Mexican lunch, ensuring zero cross-contamination. It felt like a miracle to eat safely! He also patiently helped me navigate Korea’s confusing recycling rules to dispose of a coffee cup correctly, a small detail that saved me from potential fines and showed his genuine local support. Thank you, Chris, for a flawless day. You are a fantastic driver, a history expert, and a genuinely caring host. We cannot recommend this tour with Chris enough!
