Things to do in Dora Observatory

Korean tour guide Chloe was quite detailed and put a lot of effort to try to explain every time she have. She went through the history of how Korea is being divided, and the reason why some of the things are in the DMZ , I find the process quite comfortable and smooth. Certainly recommended.

An unforgettable tour. Many thanks to our tour guide Katie to let us have an unique experience！

We had Bella as our Chinese-speaking tour guide of VIP Travel (aunts and uncle only understood Chinese). Really excellent translations and stories with a lot of detail. Bella was very friendly, approachable and was able to manage a large group very efficiently. Originally tour was supposed to be Imjingak Peace Park, 3rd tunnel, Dora observatory. Due to military events, Bella was informed (while we're at Imjingak) of change in plans so our itinerary changed to Imjingak Peace Park gondola, lunch (buffet, self pay) and souvenir shopping at Tongilchon village, and Odusan observatory. Bella handled the on-the-go changes really well. Overall highly enjoyed tour with Bella! PS- recommend trying soybean ice cream when you're in Paju wherever you stop off for lunch, interesting taste!

Moonyoung was our guide today. very dedicated albeit talks a lot which means she provides a lot of information. The tour adjusted well. The third tunnel is an exploration in itself and was fun.

Chloe was very informative and very energetic throughout the entire tour! Nonstop facts and always ready for the group.

Laura was the best tour guide!!! I loved her energy. She went above and beyond on explaining the important sites and history. We even got the opportunity to meet a North Korean defector and take pictures afterwards. She clear and straight forward with her instructions and time points. The highlight of the trip was definitely the North Korean defector and the center where we got to see North Korean products. This tour was definitely my highlight of my trip to South Korea.

Really enjoyed the tour, our guide Dora was amazing, repeated everything several times and that helped us understand all the history behind the conflict. Would recommend 100% worth it.

That was amazing experience. SJ is a great guide and fantastic storyteller, even that the subjects was difficult. That was a great lesson of Korean history with a lot of pictures which one Sj shared with us during the trip.
