Came to the DMZ tour with my family of 5 (3 children aged 10, 11 and 13) We had an absolutely fun and enriching experience with Kenny as our guide! Learnt so much about Korean history today and my family and I were able to understand and appreciate Korean history better after the tour. The tunnel walk was also pretty interesting! Glad we joined the tour!

Our tour guide, Kenny, gave us a very vivid - and also full of personal anecdotes - trip to the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Despite the snow - which made the view to North Korea look like milk - Kenny made us leave the DMZ with new perspectives on the separation of the Korean peninsula.

The tour itself was very interesting, in particular the choice of stops (my favourite being the suspension bridge!) However, our experience was dampened by some overly talkative participants (some might say this is par for the course with guided tours, but it felt particularly disrespectful given the nature of what we were there to see). Kenny was a good guide, had lots of historical knowledge to share. Would recommend to others.

We had a good time and Kenny was very funny. We had enough time to explore every stop at the DMZ. There wasn’t too many people there.
