5.00Paid 99,000 won per person for Dora, Third Tunnel, and Suspension Bridge. Also had a North Korean defector do a Q&A with us, very interesting. Enjoyed our time. Started at 730am until about 430pm. Had a full bus of about 25 people. Ron Han Solo did a great job, and made me feel like there was going to be a test at the end, but I would have aced it!

5.00We went to the DMZ tour with Han in June 2026, and it was full of new and interesting information about the Korean War, how the Korean peninsula got divided. Also, it was great that we had the opportunity to ask a North-Korean defector during the tour.

4.00Very nice and friendly tour guide, well good experience for the price. It was a very fun but shocking experience to learn about the Korean history. It was a full day tour that was well worth it. The only bad thing about it was that it was a bit rushed. It was a friendly and ready-to-learn group with a good atmosphere. The group was about 20-25 people or so but still good. It only means that you couldn’t ask as much questions. This tour is best for anyone curious about history.
