My guide Sally was great. It was a private tour and we learned a lot about dmz, the tunnels, and about the war. She was very engaging, the 9year old was so interested in history! Everything about the tour was educational and we had a cloudless day, so we can see people on bicycles in N. Korea. I loved the tour
