A very educational experience. Being guided around such a large museum by Kichan was such a better use of time than aimlessly walking around on our own, and he had brought maps and was able to point out key information to make the tour very interesting. He explained things very well and we learned so much! 2 hours is the perfect amount of time to get a good grasp on the museum without it being too long.
Thank you for your detailed review. As you mentioned, the War Memorial is a truly massive museum. It’s the second-largest in Korea. We’re so glad to hear that our guided tour was helpful enough to be considered an educational experience. Thank you.
We had an incredibly informative tour offering us great insights into the Korean War. Our guide was prompt and friendly. Most importantly, he was very kind to my son who had a lot of questions! Highly recommend taking the tour but also recommend that you set aside the rest of the day to enjoy the entire museum - there is so much more to the memorial than just the Korean War.
Thank you for your kind review! I enjoyed your son's questions, too. I liked them. It's amazing that such a young boy has such a deep interest in history. I also love his cheerful attitude. Please send him my regards! Thanks again.
This was an amazing guided tour through the history of the Korean Peninsula and the war. The guide, Ketan (sp?) was so knowledgable and personable and really made the history come alive. I felt like I got a full semester of history in 2 hours, but believe me, the time passed so quickly because he was so good at explaining everything. VERY HIGHLY recommended!!
Thank you for your review! It is one of the best and most complimentary reviews we have ever received. We understand why our guests choose our guided tours, and we know that they are interested in the Korean War and military history. That is why we try to provide a more informative guide. Thank you again.
Kichan gave a wonderful tour. He was very informative and also had a folder with many interesting historical pictures and other info. I highly recommend taking a tour with Kichan.

It was highly informative, and I learned so much about the history and significance of the memorial.

It was great. Very informative and easy to understand. I was running very very late and our guide kept me updated where they were so i could join them when i FINALLY arrived.
Thank you for your review. I was also very happy that you FOUND us inside the exhibition room and have a guided tour together! Thanks again.
A very insightful tour guide about the Korean War. Topics shared were given different perspectives and not just one view point. Definitely recommend!
Thank you so much! I'm sorry I could only show you very small pictures. I also really enjoyed the sharp comments and questions from you and your friend. Thank you again.
Best invested time during my stay in Korea. Providing amazing insights into the Korea Conflict. I liked Kichan so much that I booked a privat tour to the DMZ the day after.
Thank you so much. I also really enjoyed our tour in the War Memorial, Seoul and the following private tour in Cheorwon. It was really a history deep-dive tour. Thanks again!
