I was a solo traveller who had a 13 hour layover in S. Korea. I am so glad that I went on this long day tour because it is a unique experience like no other! I was picked up in a nice, private vehicle, a Hyundai Genesis. Mr. Lee was my driver where he spoke very good English and treated me like a VIP by providing me with waters and cigarettes throughout the day. The destinations were all very cool, especially the 2nd Tunnel and Observation point where you can look into the N. Korean hillside.
The food was excellent where I tried N. Korean style duck for the first time. The soju was refreshing and allowed me to enjoy my trip even more.
Overall, I would recommend this trip to anyone who has a 12+ hour layover in S. Korea. Even though the tour is on the pricier side, you will not regret it since my experience was amazing!

I did the private Spy Tour with Shrek, he was an amazing company and gave great explanations on everything we visited. The food included was delicious and he let us explore a lot of the areas including the 3rd tunnel with free time for ourselves.

Very interesting tour. Unfortunately the JSA was still closed but we got to see other interesting sights.
Shrek had good commentary that made the tour interesting and he's very friendly.

The DMZ was shut when we visited ( we think it reopens early in March) so we took a private tour with DMZ Spy tours with Shrek and Major BangSun Im ( who had recently retired from DMZ military guard). We started with a lovely hours walk in the mountains overlooking Seoul, to see battle site from the 1968 North Korea guerrilla attack and attempted assassination of the South Korean president .
We then drove to Odusan Unification Tower, opposite North Korea where the Han and Imjin Rivers meet. On the route we drove past increasing security measures. Firstly fences of electrified single barbed wire, then double, then triple , past camouflaged tanks - then Polaris missiles! At the tower we looked through binoculars and could see North Koreans in their villages, tending to livestock, cycling , walking their dogs!
After a fantastic lunch of BBQ duck and loads of amazing side dishes, they took us back to Seoul and the War Memorial. There we had a meeting with a North Korean defector- Seo Jae Pyoung. 19 years ago he left his home and got to the Chinese border, where at night he crossed the river to China. He then spent 14 months getting to South Korea. We spent nearly an hour with him and were able to ask him questions.
It was a privilege to meet him and very humbling.
What a fascinating day, we can highly recommend this tour.
