Perfect trip before departing flight out of the country

Fantastic tour and no fuss operator who managed to keep us all on a tight ship, ensuring we saw/did everything and getting us back to Seoul in time for our departure from the country. Highly recommend this private tour!

Private DMZ Tour in Seoul South Korea

This is an excellent tour of the DMZ. Moon is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. The timing was perfect, flowed well without feeling rushed. My partner and I were picked up from our hotel (Signiel Seoul Hotel) and Mr. Song was punctual and extremely professional. Highly recommend to request Mr. Moonhak Song as your private guide to DMZ.
