脱北者とプライベートDMZツアー＋北朝鮮ランチ

What a unique experience with Jun, a North Korean escapee who speaks fluent English. Not only does he have a wealth of insider knowledge but also genuinely a good tour guide. Think of this more as a honest North Korean cultural experience in the setting of the DMZ.

If you are trying to decide between a large commercial bus tour and booking a private experience (upto 3 people) out to the border zone, let me save you the time: book this private tour immediately. It completely transforms a standard sightseeing trip into a deeply profound, personal, and unforgettable memory. Even without stepping foot on one of the mega-bus commercial alternatives, the massive contrast in quality, dignity, and depth is undeniable: Profound, Intimate Storytelling: Instead of listening to a generic script barked over a megaphone to a crowd of 40 strangers, this private tour provides an uninterrupted forum for deep, authentic, human-centric history. The privilege of sitting down at a local restaurant in Paju operated by a North Korean defector to experience authentic local food, followed by hearing first hand stories of survival and resilience while looking out at the landscape, is incredibly moving. A Dignified, Seamless Pace: Navigating around the likes the Odusan Unification Tower and Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park requires strict protocols. Moving dynamically in a private vehicle is perfect. We could truly linger longer at the moving river lookouts and take in the view across the mudflats in peace. Freedom to Truly Connect: Being a small private group gave us a safe, quiet, and deeply respectful environment to ask spontaneous questions and genuinely process the heavy history of a divided nation. From the seamless pickup to the final drop-off at Hapjeong Station, this tour was handled with absolute professionalism and care. If you value comfort, flexibility, and a truly meaningful connection to the history here, this private tour with the amazing Jun is worth every single penny. Absolute perfection!

Jun’s journey is remarkable and hearing his story was a gift. I traveled to Korea with my two, lifelong best friends, and our first activity was Jun’s DMZ tour. We spent an exquisite two weeks in the country, but our visit with Jun was the highlight. Most importantly, it shifted the tectonic plates of how I organize and understand the world. Weeks later and home again on the other side of the globe, I cannot stop feeling deep gratitude for his willingness to share his experiences. His is a story I feel like I didn’t earn and did nothing to deserve hearing, but Jun’s DMZ tour is an honor. I carry it in my heart.

Spending the day with Jun was a great experience. He provides a unique perspective about his defection journey, unification, and life views. He has a deep connection and passion for the North-South relation that you can feel which I don't think you get with the bigger tours. His English was good, he's very knowledgable about Korea and the world. I would highly recommend Jun's tour.

This tour was absolutely incredible. We spent quite a while considering possible tour options before booking this one, and we are so happy we had the opportunity to meet Jun and go on this tour with him. He picked us up at our hotel and took us by car to a North Korean restaurant in Paju, followed by the Odusan Unification Tower (which features an exhibit focused largely on South Korean visitors rather than foreign tourists, and views across the river to North Korea - the fixed observatory binoculars/telescopes were actually quite good, though having our own binoculars would have been even more interesting) and Imjingak Park (where the locomotive and the Freedom Bridge are). Jun has a unique perspective as someone who escaped from North Korea, and he has an extremely thoughtful take on the history of the Korean conflict, unification, and current-day tourism at the DMZ. When you take this tour, you get actual insights, not the noisy tourist schtick. From the Odusan Tower, you can also see into North Korea, which is not possible from the more popular tourist areas of the DMZ. We don’t feel like we missed out on anything by not taking the usual tour (for example, Jun doesn’t go to the Third Tunnel because it requires getting on a large bus, and he focuses on the view from Odusan Tower and sharing his own story). We feel very lucky to have met this exceptional young man and highly, highly recommend this tour.

The best tour I have been! Tourguide Jun was excellent! Being from the North-Korea he was able to give a deep overview about the life there. He also told about how he managed to escape. It was very inspirational and thoughts provoking tour! Plus I could see the different areas of DMZ and try out authentic North-Korean meal. The highlight of my trip in Korea! Totally recommending!

If you are interested in more than just a trip to the DMZ, this is an invaluable opportunity to learn about North Korea and the harrowing process of escape. Jun is an incredible resource and is widely read on world history, giving him fascinating insights into the inner workings of the Kim dictatorship.

This was a great experience. Hearing Jun's story was amazing. I had quite a few of the "I'm not crying, you're crying" moments as he told us story.

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had as a traveler. The tour is perfectly done and the story is life changing. Me and my friend couldn’t have been happier. The tour shows you a new perspective that is eye opening. Everyone who visits the DMZ should do this and not the large group tours. Thank you for the story and experience. I can’t be more grateful and honored to hear a life story.

We've been to the DMZ previously. But after 20 years, we were looking for a different perspective. Jun Tours promotional offering through Trip Advisor was intriguing. A private and intimate tour (up to 4 people only), Jun offered a unique experience of dining at an outstanding North Korean restaurant. Food was delicious. His selections of what to show us were appreciated. He knew thebtiming to avoid the crowds and made it so convenient by parking closer to entrances. What we liked best was his offer to pick us up at our hotel mid-morning rather than getting up early and finding thr pick up location in Seoul. Jun was very knowledgeable and provided a wonderful perspective on the DMZ and his untraditional growing up. His observations were refreshing to hear, that life for some is just not fair, but everyone has the power to change their lives with determination, hard work, focus, and a little luck. The only thing Jun could have provided was bottled water for his guests after his nearly 7+ hour tour. While not necessary, it would have added class to already classy and private tour. It would have been fabulous by showing his caring attitude that he has for life.
