Gyeonggi Tour Reviews
Diane L.
“DMZ tour with Charlie”
We had an awesome day with Charlie touring the DMZ zone. All communications prior to our arrival were perfect. He is extremely knowledgeable in the history as well as anything we may have asked. We had plenty of time to see the sights, he instructed us along the way with what you can and cannot do. He has a good sense of humor, is a careful driver so we felt comfortable all day. I cannot recommend Charlie enough! If you are interested in the DMZ tour, get in touch with Charlie. He also offered pickup and drop off at the airport which worked perfect for us! Thanks Charlie!

Charlie C.
Dear Diane, Thank you very much for participating in today’s tour. I truly had a wonderful time touring with you and your husband today. Especially for the DMZ tour, I sincerely appreciate your kind and thoughtful review. I hope we can meet again on your next visit to Korea. Thank you once again!
Doreen S.
“Great time in Seoul and Suwon”
Thomas was a great guide, helpful and energetic in mapping out itineraries in Seoul and Suwon over 2 days. He was knowledgeable and considerate such as providing us with heat packs for our hands as Seoul had a bitterly cold snap with temperatures plunging to -10C. Besides the requested tourist spots, he added interesting visits to places we won't have known otherwise, such as the Starfield library in Suwon.

Thomas K.
Thank you very much for your kind review. It was a pleasure guiding you in Seoul and Suwon, and I’m glad you enjoyed the itinerary. I truly appreciate your feedback
Eurie H.
“Would recommend Thomas to anyone visiting the DMZ”
Thomas was amazing! Very informative, great driver, and even customized our tour when we wanted to see both the DMZ and the aegibong observatory, which not many guided tours would offer in a day. He even offered to drive us to different end point destinations after the tour which was so nice of him. It was super cold that day so he even came prepared for hot packs for everyone too which was so appreciated and thoughtful. It was one of the most memorable parts of our trip and Thomas was a major part of that!

Thomas K.
Hello Eurie, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I’m truly happy to hear that the DMZ Tour and Aegibong Observatory were one of the most memorable parts of your trip. It was my pleasure to customize the itinerary for you and make sure you could enjoy both places in one day. It was definitely a very cold day, so I’m glad the hot packs helped. Thank you again for trusting me as your guide, and for your kind words. I sincerely hope you had a great time in Korea, and I would be very happy to see you again in the future. Warm regards, Thomas
