We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Alfonso (yes, not a very traditional Korean name, ask him to tell you the story). We started at 7:30 where he picked us up at our hotel and we headed over to the DMZ parking lot. We were able to get a 9:45 bus ticket so there wasn’t much idle time and he accompanied us as we visited the tunnel and observatory. We were fortunate to still make out the North Korean flag in the haze despite the crummy rainy weather, so don’t be deterred if your weather forecast is bad - you may be pleasantly surprised! Afterwards he took us to a nearby restaurant for some pork cutlet which the whole family (including our two boys ages 9 and 12) enjoyed, then we visited the War Memorial museum where he helped give context to all the displays on site. Alfonso was a terrific guide with excellent English, a curious personality, and great historical and cultural knowledge. We saw some of the other group tours while we were out and felt lucky to be on this private one instead. Even though the itinerary says War Memorial, there is flexibility to do different or other locations as well, which is great depending on your interests!

Awesome tour with our very informative and helpful guide Jimmy. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone. We had a fantastic time and experience visiting the DMZ and War Memorial as well as experiencing a local Korean restaurant where the food was fabulous. Thank you for the photos Mr Lee😊

Our guide Alfo suggested meeting earlier than planned because the tickets to the DMZ (you have to ride a bus to go through security checkpoints) are first come, first served and tours are closed Mondays, so Tuesdays can be especially busy. He was right because even though we left at 7:30, the next available tickets for the bus were at 1:30. Since it was a full day tour, we just flipped the itinerary a bit, so it definitely pays to have an experienced guide.
We had a great time in the morning and had “army stew” for lunch, not something you’d probably see back home but it was good. Then we went to the DMZ in the afternoon. The third tunnel is an amazing experience but a little bit tough, steep walk back up. Weather was good and we could see North Korea well through the binoculars.

Due to a stopover in Seoul I decided to visit the DMZ. After some browsing, I came across Outdoors Korea’s private tour, which in itself did not have a review, but other activities of this company were consistently very well rated. I wasn't disappointed. Chance, the guide and owner, was a decidedly friendly and knowledgeable leader. On the one hand, he was very interested, on the other hand, he told a lot of personal stories, especially about his family's experiences and experiences with the Korean War. But he also gave you the time to let the impressions take effect. All in all, you felt more like you were traveling with a friend who showed you his homeland than with a guide.
I can recommend this tour without hesitation.
