Katharina – Germany

Despite the rain (only the Brothers Statue is outside), the tour was perfectly planned and very informative, from the meeting point and initial information to the interesting little stories tucked between the lines. I was lucky enough to do it alone as a private tour, so I was able to ask plenty of questions. The facts and figures were readily available, and the guide's assessments and commentary made a real impression. He was a true expert who critically examines what has been documented, as well as official and other perspectives. This clearly demonstrated the global context (involvement of other states in the Korean War), Korea's view of itself and others, and also the current situation. All in all, a thoroughly successful and thoroughly recommended tour. Listening was worthwhile and fun!
