This time I joined KKday’s South Korean DMZ one-day tour and was really lucky to meet our guide Owen! From the beginning to the end he explained very clearly and vividly, not only introducing the historical background, but also sharing many interesting details and stories, so that the whole trip was not boring at all, but learned a lot. The Owen people were also very nice, took good care of the group, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The weather was also excellent that day, with clear visibility and many views that you might not normally have the chance to see. Another great plus is that he will also share the photos he took before with us, so that we can leave more beautiful memories, which is really courteous! 👍
As a Korean, I had never been to the DMZ before, so I went out of curiosity. Since I didn't have a car, I booked a tour departing from Seoul. However, everyone else there was a foreigner except me. Just as Koreans are curious about the DMZ, foreigners can't resist visiting either. The tour started early in the morning, but there were also options starting at a more moderate time, so it was easy to choose a schedule. The explanations were friendly, and I think even Koreans can understand everything and follow the tour if they can grasp basic English. The tunnels were the best part, but I recommend working out on the Stairway to Heaven before you come. Everything else, such as the JSA Museum, was great. I was sad that the view from the observation deck was cloudy and we couldn't see well. Make sure to check the weather before you go! Also, I wish there were more hands-on activities available! ^^
