The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a buffer zone that separates South and North Korea. Established in 1953 following the armistice agreement of the Korean War, the DMZ is 4 kilometers wide. Despite its name, it is one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world. This tour is not just a visit to a historical site; it is also a journey toward understanding the reality of division and the hope for peace on the Korean Peninsula.

“That best tour i have ”

Hi everyone! I highly recommend Sally; she is the best guide. • i loved the experience. Gyeongju is basically a real-life open-air museum. Her descriptions of all the events, followed by a stroll through the streets, made for an unforgettable experience

Sally K.

Haha! I think Seoul and Gyeongju got mixed up. :D We were in Seoul, remember? And that pagoda was actually the model at the National Folk Museum, a replica in the famous temple, Gyeongju. Anyway, thank you so much for the sweet review! I'm so glad you had a great time. Best wishes! Sally

“TWO FANTASTIC DAYS OF TOURS IN SEOUL WITH SALLY K”

We booked two days of tours in Seoul with Sally day 1 historic tour of Seoul, day 2 modern Seoul, we were we totally blown away by Seoul as a city, and Sally was a really amazing guide was incredibly knowledgeable took us to all the sights we would never have found or known about ourselves, having discussed prior to our trip what we would like to do and tailoring exactly to suit our needs, her English was excellent, and as my husband had a knee injury arranged for a very comfortable car and driver for both days of the tours, I would highly recommend using Sally if you are looking for a guide in Seoul.

Sally K.

Thank you so much! Your review truly made my day. :D I had such a wonderful time with both of you, and I'm so happy to hear you fell in love with Seoul! It was a pleasure guiding you, and I'm especially glad everything worked out comfortably for your husband's. Thank you again for trusting me with your Seoul adventure. Please come back to Korea and I’d love to show you more hidden gems next time! Best Wishes, Sally

“Fabulous historical insights with Sally!”

If you love history, Sally is the absolute best guide you could ask for. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about the places we visited. Just keep in mind that it is a very active, walking-heavy tour. Make sure you check the weather forecast before you go, as it might be tough to handle on a really hot day. Thanks again, Sally!

Sally K.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation despite the hot weather. I'm so happy I could help make your time in Seoul meaningful. I hope to welcome you back to Korea someday. Wishing you all the best and safe travels! :)
