Thank you for your review. I also had a wonderful time with you and feel like we have made a friend as well.
Great time. Learned quite a bit about the Korean War as well as the aftermath. Mr Bean did a great job explaining everything to us.
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide in South Korea. From the very beginning, everything was well-organized and thoughtfully planned. He took care of all the details in advance, which made our trip smooth and stress-free. What impressed us most was how caring and attentive he was throughout the journey—always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He delivered on every promise and went above and beyond to make our time in Korea truly memorable. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much! We also had a wonderful time with you and hope to return to your home safely. As we mentioned during the tour, please pay attention to the relationship between South Korea and North Korea as well.
Our guide Mr.Kori was excellent, he had in-depth knowledge of the conflict between North and South Korea. He was extremely polite and professional while being friendly at the same time. He escorted us during the entire tour so that we would see all that was available at each location. We highly recommend Mr.Kori he is a 5 star plus performer. A very big thank you to Mr.Kori (Mr. Ahn).
Thank you for the review. Mr. Kori is one of our best guides. I am pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time with him during the DMZ tour.
Our.Guide.Keiven Lee was exceptionally knowledgeable and pleasantly engaging the entire day. The history and local knowledge led to the overall experience on this once in a lifetime journey!
Michael was great, very polite and punctual about picking us up at our hotel. He was well informed about the tour and history. We really had great family time!
Thank you for your review, and hope to see you soon!
Very interesting and knowledgeable guide (Michael) , with good music! Lived the heated seats in his car and we all love Sonagi :)
Thank you for your review. I am very grateful you changed reunification thinking a positive view from limited and negative feedback on your country's news and reports about North Korea. I am also sure that our conversation helped to get a more balanced view during the DMZ tour.
Our guide, who had military experience, immersed us in the troubled relationship between North & South Korea. At one point in Tunnel 3 which North Korea dug in 1970-75 to invade South Korea we were 150 meters from the North Korean border. Not to be missed!
The tour was fantastic made even better by the very knowledgeable and friendly Sophia. If you are considering a tour in Korea you won’t find anyone better than Sophia
