Starting from Hongdae, 9:30 AM was just right, not too early to get up, and it took about an hour to arrive. Upon entering the area, soldiers came up to check roll. After reaching the base of the observation deck, you can stroll up to the Aegibong Observation Deck. The weather was great that day; you could clearly see North Korea across the bay with the naked eye. There are free high-powered telescopes on the observation deck, allowing you to observe the situation in North Korea and take photos to share on your phone. The Starbucks had limited seating, and it was very cold (-10°C) that day, so it wasn't possible to leisurely enjoy a coffee inside, which was a bit of a shame. A very interesting experience overall. There's also a peace memorial here, but unfortunately, we didn't have time to visit. Today's guide was Hanna, who speaks both English and Chinese. She was very lovely and friendly, providing detailed explanations and even helping us take photos along the way. I recommend joining her tour! 😊
Super fun toboggan ride, delicious Korean set meal, cool sunrise cafe, and a great driver! The itinerary was great and fun, a super mini group tour, and we had a smooth and enjoyable time. Looking forward to finding more great itineraries next time! ❤️❤️👍
The trip was very special, allowing me to experience places I don't usually have the opportunity to visit, which was a very enriching experience. Owen took great care of me throughout the trip, explaining things in a humorous and engaging way, making even heavy topics easier to understand. Diane was also on the same bus; both tour guides were excellent. Thank you!
1. Despite having a large group and a lot of luggage, the driver was still able to arrange transportation, which was great. 2. They added each other on WeChat the night before, which put me at ease. 3. Communication was timely and efficient, for example, they helped with adding a baby car seat. 4. The whole process was very considerate; they helped guide us and carry our luggage, and turned on the heater as soon as we got in the car, because it was -6 degrees Celsius that day, and a group of us from Kaohsiung were freezing. 5. After arriving at the designated point, we parked the car right in front of the entrance so we didn't have to endure the cold air anymore. 6. They were also able to ask us some travel questions in the car and patiently gave us advice. I am truly grateful.
