“Highlight of my trip”

My granddaughter and I had a lovely day with Charlie. He was accommodating, answered any question we posed, and it was interesting to learn about the history of Korea from him. Our visit to the DMZ was a highlight of my stay in Seoul (where I was visiting my granddaughter who is studying there). Charlie went out of his way to show us a suspension bridge up in the mountains. He even shared his candy and other snacks with us. A wonderful tour.

Thank you, Johanna, November 1st was the peak of the autumn weather, when large crowds gathered at Imjingak to visit DMZ. It was a bit of a bummer, but the tour with you was so enjoyable and happy. We climbed 275 steep steps to see the Gamaksan Mountain ridge and suspension bridge. Thank you for your passion for staying with me without giving up until the end. And thank you so much for leaving a wonderful review.

Seema I.

“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!

Charlie C.

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.
