When we got on the bus we waited around for people who were late and then went to another hotel, to pick up individuals who were also late. This pick up was not advised and due to this logistical error, a lot of time was wasted and we felt rushed at dmz locations.
The dmz locations themselves were incredible and would definitely recommend going, however the time at each location was shorter than advised so felt rushed.
We also stopped at additional stops of unification village, which was okay and a ginseng office tour. Both of these were not advised as part of the tour. Regarding the ginseng tour, we felt that there heavy emphasis on the benefits of ginseng and encouragement to buy it, as at the end of the tour we were shut in a sales room with several sales people, encouraging us to buy some. We did not feel comfortable.
