5.00Really enjoyed the tour, the highlights of the trip were the North Korean defector and the view of North Korea from the observatory. The tour guide was a really nice guy and very passionate, my only complaint is I wish they had cooked the bus down a bit more.
Not in English and rushed!

2.00For context I booked this tour in English with the bridge add on. The day started out good, although the bus did leave 35 minutes later than scheduled, but that is excusable as we were waiting for some late passengers. Once we arrived at our first stop the group of people who booked the bridge add on were told we were getting on another bus with another tour guide and had to wait an additional 30 minutes, also fine but odd. This next bus was not an English tour but fully in Korean so unfortunately I had no idea what was going on. The bus driver/tour guide seemed annoyed to have to accommodate non Korean passengers. Once we started getting to the actual locations in the DMZ we had a tour guide who spoke English and was extremely kind and knowledgeable but we were on the time of this other tour. Everything felt extremely rushed and we had to skip several halls and exhibits as to not miss the bus and it leave without us. There were other English speakers on the bus who were given headsets to understand what was being said but that was not offered for people on this tour unfortunately. Finally we were put on a third bus and taken to the bridge which was closed due to weather, which resulted in an over hour detour for no reason and not actually getting to see what we payed extra for. I will say, our English speaking tour guide was FANTASTIC and I have no complaints about her, but while on the bus she was unable to actually talk to us because we couldn’t interrupt the Korean tour going on at the same time. The logistics and organization of this tour was a real joke. We booked and payed for an experience we just simply did not receive. We kept catching up with our original tour who seemed to have more time at locations and wasn’t as stressed out to make the bus and it leave without them, because the rest of the group had their own bus. The only reason this isn’t getting one star is because the guide, when she could guide us, was fantastic and tried her best to make us feel comfortable despite the absolute gong show of a day! I cannot recommend this your company in good faith at all.
Great one day tour in South Korea

5.00Han is a really professional travel guider. His introduction to DMZ in details was very helpful in understanding Korean War. We hope we have chance to visit the cease fire negotiation village next time.
Scam alert, reviews are asked for ***before visiting a jewellery shop***!!

2.00The trip was just ok (nothing spectacular), but when I asked whether we were going back straight away at the end of the tour, the guide confirmed. Luckily, I waited until the end to leave a review. Despite confirming we were going back, we indeed stopped at this jewellery shop which was conveniently not mentioned until after reviews were asked for. Scam attitude. Waste of our precious holiday time in Seoul.
