Highlighted reviews from other travelers
The departure time was pretty early but everything was in place and we left on time. The tour itself was really informative and interesting with relevant information at the various stopping points. I only wish there was some more time at Imjingak to look around/enjoy a drink. Kenny, the tour guide, was well prepared with a good explanations and stories about the places. He kept the group under control and we left the places on schedule. Another thing that was thought of were binoculars for in the observatory. You could say Kenny is the BEST.
Super! Tourguide Winnie was awesome. explain a lot
