We were so glad that we made the decision to get up a bit early and visit the DMZ. The private tour was definitely worth the extra $ as we were picked up at our hotel and treated like VIP’s thanks to our excellent guide Hugo.

The tour exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Hugo, was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip fun and easy. My adult daughter and I were picked up at our hotel on time and Hugo kept us engaged throughout. We had an amazing adventure. He knew all the insider information to make the experience super easy. He was even kind enough to translate for other English speakers who were on the tour. Highly recommend this tour experience!
