“Charles, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate of south korea history. We are happy and grateful to able to share this experience with him and the group. I must say the 3rd tunnel is a bit difficult to climb back, but if you are a hiker or do hikering up hills a lot this is nothing to you.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,459 reviews · from $27

Review this Seoul DMZ tour with a North Korean defector talk, Third Tunnel, Dora Observatory, and optional suspension bridge.

“The trip was just ok (nothing spectacular), but when I asked whether we were going back straight away at the end of the tour, the guide confirmed. Luckily, I waited until the end to leave a review. Despite confirming we were going back, we indeed stopped at this jewellery shop which was conveniently not mentioned until after reviews were asked for. Scam attitude. Waste of our precious holiday time in Seoul.”

“Kenny was a great tour guide. He explained a lot of history related to the DMZ zone and the history of North and South Korea’s division. He had a relaxed and fun approach to explaining information.
