“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!

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.

“Amazing Western Seoul Tour: A Truly Amazing Day”
Charlie is a very knowledgeable guide who explains in great detail everything you see for each stop on this tour. He allows you ample time to view each site and can answer any question you may have about the culture. Each stop was beautiful. From the serene temple visit, to the stunning Hanock village, ending with the sunset river cruise, each site was Amazing. AND Charlie made everything so beautiful and interesting with his descriptions. On my next trip to Korea, I will definitely secure him as my guide.

“Change of plans”
I was not able to go on this tour due to a medical issue, but Charlie was kind enough to take me to a lovely lunch and drive me to the airport when I had to cut my trip short.
Charlie C.
Thank you for giving me a good review even though we couldn't proceed with the planned tour due to unexpected problems. Are you recovering from the injury? I look forward to seeing you in Korea again after getting well as soon as possible. Thank you so much. Best regards, Charlie
