    We loved our visit to the DMZ. Chris was very informative on all the aspects of the background, history and current political climate around this historic area. Just be sure to bring your passports with you for the tour, as they are required to secure tickets. We didn't have ours, but Chris was able to vouch for us and get us our tickets. It's a great place to visit and see history, both past and present.

    We were traveling from the US with several stops in Asia. During this trip we had 2 long layovers in Seoul. During the first stop we met Chris and he took us to downtown Seoul. We enjoyed it so much that we had him pick us up at the airport during our layover back home and take us to the DMZ. We had approx. 11 hours which was more than enough. The entire trip was around 6 hours, and we were not rushed at all, we even had time to pick up a few souvenirs at the end. If you just want an overview this trip is not for you, but if you love to get into the historical details, Chris is your guy. He has so much knowledge about Korea, pre and post WWII, it is quite amazing. We definitely recommend Chris, we had two great days seeing and learning about all things Korea!

    Chris is a superior guide for those who want to understand the history and significance of the Korean War and the modern impact of the divided Korea on its citizens and culture. There was no question he could not answer in depth, plus looking after my comfort and welfare during the whole experience. For those who want to go beyond the standard trip and learn a lot in the process, I highly recommend this tour and guide.

    Chris is very knowledgeable. His knowledge comes from a place of genuine interest in history and not just the bare minimum needed to get through the tour. We learned more than we expected and his company was easy and enjoyable.

It is estimated that nearly 30,000 personnel can move through the tunnel every hour. Visitors to the 3rd Tunnel must reserve the tour in advance. The tour starts from the Imjingak Pavilion.
