Excellent! *Pick this tour* Mr Oliver was brilliant. Funny, calm and knowledgeable. He was able to juggle the day around and always made sure we had the best seats etc. The was was well organised and lots to do. Was a little worried about meeting points reading reviews of other trips but this company was very organised and clear with a message at 3pm the day before with location and exact collect time. Then texts in the morning to give updates. Definitely the tour to pick!

Mr Young & Lloyd are each excellent guides. Both were informative and had a very warm style. The trip was well coordinated and punctual. Would be helpful to get the confirmation of pickup location at least 24hours beforehand to assist with planning. The activities in the afternoon were okay but not necessary something I’d highly recommend. The morning activities are more aligned with the DMZ interest. Overall would certainly recommended as an outing that’s good value and informative. Thanks!

This was an amazing tour! Our tour guide, Mr Young was great! He was funny, knowledge and friendly. He gave us lots of interesting details about the DMZ and was even willing to snap photos for us. We really enjoyed the tour. I would highly recommend it if you are visiting Seoul and be sure to request Mr. Young as your tour guide.
