Don’t be a part of the crowd! Take this DMZ (and more) tour.

Alfonso is a great guide! He is knowledgeable and friendly and taught us about history and what life is like for him living in Seoul. He took us to a military outpost and we were the only tourists there at the time. We received a briefing and, through their telescope, we were able to see a North Korean outpost with so much detail that we saw their soldiers walking around. The area is so beautiful yet we could feel the high alert of the South Korean soldiers whose job is to protect their country. We went to an authentic Korean lunch (not included in the price of the tour) and after Alfonso also took us to a beautiful tomb, again we were the only tourists there, which is so rich in history, culture and spiritual significance. We take tours in every foreign country we visit and this tour was among our top three favorites.

Our DMZ tour in South...

Our DMZ tour in South Korea was one of the highlights of our trip, thanks to our incredible guide. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained the complex history of the Korean peninsula in a way that was easy to understand and deeply meaningful. His organization made the entire day smooth and stress-free, ensuring we saw all the key sites without feeling rushed. He answered every question patiently and shared insights that made the experience far more memorable. If you’re visiting the DMZ, I highly recommend him as a guide—he made this fascinating and emotional experience truly unforgettable.

Great Tour of Seoul with a Great Guide

Amazing tour of Seoul with Jun. From start to finish, we had a great day. It was our first day in Seoul, so we would not have known where to start. He showed us great places and told us interesting information about Seoul and Korea. We stopped at a great lunch place with delicious Korean food. He was funny and fun to be around. I recommend that you take this tour if you are in Seoul.

DMZ tour is not to be missed

The DMZ tour was a highlight of our South Korea trip. I would say it is a must to understanding the country and its relationship with North Korea. The kids found it very interesting and enjoyed it. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and interactive. They took us to an amazing Korean BBQ after. In addition, they dropped us at the airport for the next leg of our journey.

Historic freestyle Seoul tour

Great tour, Heni is a very knowledgeable host. Loose structure means it can be whatever you would like it to be. Was great that entire tour was conducted by car between locations, as the weather was very cool that day. Enjoyed seeing some of Seoul’s history. Thank you!

Friendly, knowledgeable...

Friendly, knowledgeable guide. A lot of time spent in traffic which can’t be helped but just for awareness. Too expensive overall, especially considering I had to pay an extra $100 for airport pickup/drop off.

sorry to hear that. But the traffic was ok. It is because of the long distance from the airport. so that is why we charge extra 100usd.
