It was amazing HENRY the tour guide was very cool and he explained the history very well i liked it.
It was a hot afternoon tour in August. Moreover, perhaps because it was a weekday, our family rented it out. It was about an hour from Seoul to Egibon, but the driver, Jung, drove us safely, and even after we arrived at Egibon and on the way, our guide, Deng, spoke in Japanese about the Korean War and the current relationship between North and South Korea, and enjoyed sightseeing in Seoul. This tour made me think about peace once again. I highly recommend this tour!

Sung Yeon guided me through the process. On the bus, they told me about the history of the Korean War and highlights, and I enjoyed the experience more. They also arranged for recommendations and seating at Starbucks, which was a great way to enjoy.

Guide: Ms. Sungyoung On the way, he explained to me in an easy-to-understand way the reason why South and North Korea were split, and I learned not only about North Korea but also about the relationship between the two countries and their tragic history. The scenery of North Korea I saw after acquiring that knowledge became more haunting. Also, after arriving there, they added more commentary with North Korea in the background, and it was a wonderful time to not just watch. Sung-yeon is very fluent in Japanese, and despite the very hot weather, he was cheerful and we enjoyed it. We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour.

It was good because the guide, Sung Yeon, explained it on the bus very clearly. They also worked hard to get us a Starbucks seat and we were able to drink in a nice place. I was very kind and grateful.
