“Brilliant tour with Minko”
The highlight of our (my elderly parents and myself) was the day spent with Minho touring the DMZ and War Memorial Museum. In depth knowledge of history and every topic imaginable. Including topics such as economics and specific questions about various industries that would probably not interest most people but he had in depth knowledge. So courteous and patient considering that both my parents have mobility issues. Definitely ask to be taken to a local restaurant near the DMZ that he knows: impossible for a foreigner to get to or order at. Best meal in Korea and dirt cheap. I would book another tour with Minko just for the experience

“Excursion to Seoul from our cruise port. ”
Minho Kang met us right inside the cruise terminal building with a sign which was very convenient. He was such an awesome guide. He told us so much about everything we saw and you could tell how much he loved his country and he wanted to please us. He explained in detail the history about everything we saw and you could tell how much he enjoyed showing us very important parts of Seoul. We saw such beautiful things and he was very patient when we wanted to take pictures and take our time to admire everything we were seeing. He took us to a pharmacy so my sister could buy medicine and helped her find the right product for her needs. I bought a postcard that I wanted to mail to my grandson and he stamped it and put it in the mail for me because the post office was already closed. I thought that was so generous of him. I think our tour lasted longer than what we booked it for and we all had a great time with him.

“Outstanding Tour of Seoul”
My wife and I enjoyed an outstanding tour of Seoul with Minho. He worked with me to customize the day’s tour to include sites that we were most interested in visiting. Communication was great in planning and while on the tour. Fluent in English. Easy going and flexible but focused enough to keep us on time. Patient in answering our many questions. I highly recommend Minho as your guide for South Korea.

Paju DMZ with 3rd tunnel & Peace park tour
Paju is the nearest place where tourists can see the north Korea land crossed the border, drawn on 38th degree of north latitude right after the World War 2. After crossing the Southern Limit Line, we reach to the DMZ where is Dora Observatory and 3rd Infiltration tunnel built by north Korea. Sure you can definitely feel some scary but it is the most peaceful place in the world. Since we completed the DMZ tour run by the Paju city, then move to vicinity like Majang lake or Royal tomb.
