David – United States

Kenny, aka, “Kenny the Best” was indeed, the best. This was an absolutely amazing tour. Very well timed, plenty of time throughout each stop, and Kenny made it so much fun. He took pictures for everyone, talk history, and even provided one-on-one conversation. I highly highly recommend this tour. We stopped at the suspension Bridge, which was absolutely spectacular. A small hike up but not bad. Then we did the whole DMZ experience to include the third tunnel, which is a must and the observation tower. Book it now.
