I really enjoyed this tour. I went with Nancy and she was very knowledgeable, professional, able to awnser all of my questions. She had an energy that was fun to be around.
I learnt a lot on the tour aswell and it was worth going to. It was especially cool to be so close to North Korea.

Really good tour that moved along quickly. Henry did a great job sharing knowledge of the time period and perspective on the Korean people towards the war and re-unification. Would recommend

Hola Carlos, estamos mirando para ir a esta excusión, pero quisiéramos saber si es muy turístico o está bien.
También escribes que estuviste dentro de la sala 2 del JSA, sabes si esto es siempre así? porque estamos leyendo muchos comentarios de personas que no les han dejado.

Does this tour also stop at Dorasan station?

This tour only stops at two subway stops; however, both are centrally located so if you are close to the Dorasan stop you can ride the subway to one of those two. My guess is they occasionally change which central area stops from time to time so I suggest reaching out to them. They do not stop at specific hotels. I believe only the private tours stop at hotels.

Along this tour do we get to cross into North Korea border line ?

No, that is not possible. However, on this tour there is an Observatory stop where you can see over into North Korea including a mock city they built there. Also, you can see the North Korea and South Korea flags flying close to one another on each side of the border which was very interesting.

Hello, I’m interested specifically in visiting the JSA. I see from photos that certain guests have been able to visit the JSA during this tour. How can I book a tour where I’m certain that it will include a visit to the JSA?

Hi - this particular tour did not include the JSA.

I saw that a military ID can be used in place of a passport. I just wanted to confirm if that is still accurate, and if it matters that it is a USA military ID? My passport is still in process for renewal.
When we went on the tour last week, the couple on the bus next to us used their US military IDs at the checkpoint and did not have a problem. I would try to message the tour operator just to make sure as things seem to be very fluid with the military at the DMZ.
Does this tour include the JSA?

Unfortunately, our tour did not include JSA. According to the tour operator, the Korean military was limiting access to the JSA, and only a few tours were allowed to go there. Still, this was a wonderful tour.

There are 7 of us staying at Hongdea St. We would like to go to the DMZ and the Name Island tours respectively on 5 & 6 June. We would like to know if you are prepared to pick us up? We have 3 young children and not familiar with Seoul.Thank you.

When we went on the tour they did not pick us up. We had to meet in front of a centrally located hotel but it was relatively easy to find (first time in Seoul for us too).

Hi!
It is written in the itinerary that the stop at DMZ is only for 20 min. Is that true? It seems to be extremely short..
Thank you!

No, they are on a time schedule though. It is a 20 min stop at the town right on the border of DMZ. They have a grocery store and also an ice cream shop. You can also use restroom. This was the final stop prior to heading back to Seoul.
What time would we return from the morning half day trip?

Hello, We returned around 3:30-4pm after a 10am start.
Also, this is a tour that depends on variables, such as the government and what time your fellow travelers show up. We ran about 20-25 minutes late on our departure due to people getting lost finding the bus. So I would suggest you not schedule something else too closely
