Visiting the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Korea was an unforgettable experience that seamlessly blended history, culture, and breathtaking scenery. The tour offered a fascinating glimpse into one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world while also highlighting the hope for reunification. April, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and fluent in multiple languages. She provided historical context and answered all our questions, ensuring we gained a deep understanding of the complex history of the Korean Peninsula. The security protocols were reassuring, making us feel safe throughout the experience. Don't miss to bring home a N. Korean money for souvenir. Overall, the DMZ tour was thought-provoking, emotional, and highly educational. It’s an absolute must for anyone visiting Korea who wants to understand the country’s past and its hopes for the future. I would highly recommend this tour to history buffs, peace advocates, and curious travelers alike!
