After a frantic Uber ride to the pick up point due to a non-existent subway (thanks Naver) I was greeted by a very friendly Alex. Through out the tour Alex continued to be a delightful and positive tour guide at each of the destinations on the trip. At each location he was able to provide a detailed back story especially at the observatory pointing out every land mark. Would highly recommend both the tour and Alex as a guide for anyone wanting to visit the DMZ and Red Suspension bridge.Written December 7, 2024

Had an amazing tour with Yuna! There are many memorable moments from this tour from ~8:30am - 2:30pm.
1. A driver picked us up near our hotel and drove us everywhere
2. The kimchi making was a unique experience, where we were also given two drinks and some kimchi pancake.
3. Yuna helped my clueless self pick out hanboks!
4. Yuna gave a great tour with a lot of information about history and picture locations.
5. We had an interesting history lesson about Korean Ginseng
Overall, highly recommend, especially with Yuna!!

We had a great time! Our tour guide Yuna saved us from ageing affects with the introduction of ginseng. She took lots of good photos for us. She was very nice and we learnt how to make kimchi (I added twice the about of Korean chilli powder). But then it got extremely dark and skeletons arose from the ground, but luckily Yuna came and saved us using Excalibur. We were saved because of Yuna.

Yuna was very nice and friendly. I really enjoyed making the kimchi. The different places were very beautiful and there was so many opportunities to take photos! Especially in the Hanbok. And learning about the ginseng and the properties was so interesting.
