We did a private tour to DMZ with Seoul city tours. Bebe was our assigned tour guide and she was phenomenal. She gave us a history bluf during the car ride over, was patient, friendly kind and welcoming. She took tons of great photos for us. We got to visit the observatory, 3rd tunnel, unification village, imjing park and defector meet and greet. Bebe was promptly here at our place for pickup and was flexible on anywhere we wanted to get dropped off at after the tour. I highly recommend Seoul city tours and request Bebe for your tour guide. Thank you so much!
