DMZ private tour

My family and I had a memorable day visiting the DMZ with Kwan. He is not only an exceptional guide, but also a wonderful person! Charming, talkative, a very pleasant presence! He is one of the best experiences we have had so far in Korea and we are so lucky to have him as our guide. We highly recommend Kwan as a guide to anyone interested in having a very enjoyable day! Thank you again, Kwan! It was very nice meeting you today!

The best DMZ tour guide

Charlie is an amazing tour guide and I had an absolutely fantastic time touring the DMZ with him. As a solo traveler, initially I was skeptical about going on a tour to the DMZ. I did some online research and was able to connect with Charlie from GoWithGuide. Right from the get-go, he made me feel very comfortable. He knew I had a lot of time constraints on account of prior commitments and he was able to work around these commitments and suggest me a tour that would meet my requirements. He picked me up from a pre-determined spot on the day of the tour and dropped me back at the hotel when we were done. Charlie is a walking, talking encyclopedia with a lot of information and history on South and North Korea. It was extremely fun and interesting to visit the DMZ with him. He knew all the cool spots to visit and to take pictures at. There are no pictures allowed inside of the DMZ area, we are however allowed to take pictures right outside and he knew exactly the best locations to take the pictures. We also toured the third tunnel which was built by North Korea to infiltrate the South. The entire DMZ tour was simply amazing and it was wonderful to learn all the history and the life of the people on both sides. The icing on the cake was that the day was bright and sunny and I was able to see the other side very clearly. Charlie then took me to some souvenir stores around the DMZ, so I could pick up some gifts. After we were done with the DMZ tour, we stopped by at a rest area to have some delicious Korean ramen. Charlie also bought us some Korean bread with a red bean paste ice cream filling, which is a specialty of the area. It was very tasty! We then made the drive to the Seoul area to visit the Gyeongbokgung Palace. We walked around the palace grounds and he explained to me the historical significance of the palace. In true Charlie style, he once again took some great pictures. Overall it was a fantastic day and I could not have asked for a better guide!

Seema I.

Thank you for giving me a good review of the DMZ tour. On the day of the DMZ tour, the weather was so nice that I could see the North Korean land clearly. I was so happy to be able to tour with you. I hope to see you again another opportunity. Thank you so much.

A must-do, memorable!

Visiting the DMZ is a must-do. I wasn't entirely sure about it because I was hesitant to travel alone, but since I was so curious, I opted for the private tour so I wouldn't have to worry about a thing. And it was a great choice. The guide, Thomas, picked me up at the hotel reception on time, and we set off for the border. I highly recommend the private tour, especially for this special visit. And having a local private guide, who knows the history like the back of his hand, is the best, as he's also telling you about his own experiences firsthand. I didn't have to worry about a thing because everything was perfectly organized. Just don't forget your passport, or you won't be able to enter the DMZ. It's an essential requirement. Thomas will escort you safely throughout the entire tour. Well, since I was traveling alone, I felt like I had my own bodyguard, and that made my trip both relaxing and memorable. I had a wonderful time. And Thomas's fabulous photoshoot, which is also a photographer, is proof of that. Thanks again, Thomas, for everything. I had an exceptional day.
