Great personalised tour with Won who is an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgable about local and international history, well traveled himself and was able to answer all of our questions. We enjoyed the DMZ, an incredible place rich in modern history. I would highly recommend this tour if you have a family.

Paul was amazing. Genuine and personable about the Korean history, but not afraid to talk about the darker side of the conflict as well. Third generation South Korean! So he knows the history well. He was also very accommodating for a younger couple (who wanted to explore) and an elderly couple (parents) with mobility issues. He was also top notch with restaurant recommendations. Highly recommend this tour.

What a remarkable experience. We were so very fortunate to have the wonderful and expert guidance of Tiger Lee. As many reviewers have said earlier, he made the day.. the trip! Absolutely incredible story teller. We learnt so much about the DMZ, Korea, why it has come to be and the significant events that have shaped its history. With much gratitude. Thank you Tiger.

Had such a fantastic day trip. Our tour guide Won was the best and did all the work of waiting for tickets and guiding us through the history of the DMZ area. He also answered my many questions regarding Korean daily life during our car ride to the DMZ. He was very proactive and communicated with me days before to leave early enough (6AM) so we can make it to the first shuttle. While this can seem early, it gave us a priceless unforgettable experience. We were able to skip in front of a larger tour group when we went in the tunnel so we had a full unobstructed view ahead of us. My teenage brother often complains on trips but this private tour had the flexibility and balance between activity and resting. Overall the tour was comfortable, air conditioned, interesting, and informative thanks to Won. Would highly recommend!

An excellent tour, we were incredibly fortunate to have Tiger as our guide, an ex ROK Army Lt Col and incredibly knowledgeable. He truly made the experience 5 star with not only his information on where we were visiting but his insights on Korean history, the political discourse leading to the war and the subsequent happenings.

Tiger also very kindly stopped at the Gloster Hill monument to the Gloucester Regiment as we were British, not part of the tour but it was poignant and appreciated.

On top of all this the actual experiences themselves of the third tunnel and viewpoint on the DPRK are outstanding. Highly recommended, and if you get Tiger you won’t be disappointed!
