What a wonderful day trip to the DMZ. Our guide, Han, was extremely informative and answered all of our questions. We rode in a large tour bus, and Han made all of the information very interesting. Plus we were able to interview a NK defector and wow, what an enlightening aspect of the tour. The walk in the tunnel was a bit difficult for my senior citizen in-laws, but doable. There are areas to stop along the way back up and rest. Overall, wonderful trip, my only suggestion would be pack a little lunch, as there is not a ton of time in the tour to eat, except the bus ride, especially if you are interested in chatting with the defector which is the first stop at around 9.

I was really pleasantly surprised. The tour guide gave us so much information, but did not overwhelm us at the same time. He was open to questions of all kind and lead us perfectly through the day. We were really lucky and saw everything on the other side of the border there was to see. But even if we wouldn't have, it still would have been a very interesting and thought provoking day. I would definitely recommend this tour and this guide (Ron / Mr. Han)

Loved the guide and tour to DMZ. Pickup at location was not well defined - no signage in a broad area and we almost missed it. There was a surprise ginseng 'museum' at the end was an unfortunate waste of time and seemed like a tourist trap with wild prices.
