AJ was such an amazing poor guy. We truly enjoyed her. She was very helpful and very nice. I loved her humor. I laughed at every single joke. The length of the visit wasn’t too long, just enough time.

Our guide KATIE was absolutely amazing for the DMZ tour which we took today on the 19 Th June 2026. I have never seen anyone with so much enthusiasm and patience. I found her taking care of each and every guest with the same zest. Next time I am in Korea I would love to join more tours with her and also advise my friends to do the tours with her specifically.
