Super smooth journey! Learnt a lot about the DMZ and got to explore very interesting places. Would definitely recommend exploring with Erica!
Grace was a cheery and experienced guide. She gave a succinct explanation of the DMZ and the history of contemporary Korea. The tour of the third infiltration tunnel and the steep walk up and down was a good experience. Also enjoyed the short walk at the Park. Grace also managed the group well, ensuring that we kept to the 3hr duration at DMZ and to get to the drop off point at City Hall Station before 5pm.
Interestb trip. Tour guide was very professional and able to explain the history between north and south Korea in simple terms. Bus Tyre burst episode on the way to DMZ, but the recovery services by the tour agency was awesome....thumbs up.
