Great tour even without a boat ride

Jin from PLK travel was phenomenal - very personable and made it a perfect outing. The boat ride was not available and they let us know the night before which was helpful.

The package we selected...

The package we selected with the boat tour became unavailable due to maintenance issues with the boat. They were quick to reach out to us to notify and offer us other options and for the same price. Chloe was our tour guide and was absolutely amazing. Nothing but smiles and good energy the whole time. She made it a great experience for us. Thank you Chloe!

The DMZ with Paul: A Must-Do!

I rarely join guided tours, as it’s usually not my preference. However, for visiting the DMZ, having a guide is essential. I was fortunate to be accompanied by Paul, an outstanding guide,highly professional, engaging, and with a wonderful sense of humor. Thanks to him, the hours we spent felt like they passed in a heartbeat. I highly recommend this tour, and if possible, request Paul. He truly makes the experience exceptional.

Dennis - recommend

Exploring the Korean Demilitarized Zone with Dennis was a truly eye-opening experience. His in-depth knowledge of history and current affairs brought powerful context to every site we visited. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to understand the DMZ beyond just the surface.
