DMZ Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Our DMZ tour with Sookhee was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, Sookhee’s deep knowledge and personal stories brought the history of the region to life. We explored key sites along the way, where Sookhee explained the significance behind each location with passion and clarity. Her thoughtful insights into the ongoing tension and efforts for peace made the experience truly educational. Sookhee’s warm and engaging personality added a personal touch to the tour, making it not just informative, but deeply moving. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to understand the DMZ better!

Great experience Monday tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Sookhee has been a great guide, explaining everything in details. Also, Monday is a great option due to very low people traffic in the different places visited.

Such an incredible tour with great information and sights. Sook-he was a fantastic tour guide and still managed to lead an interesting trip while most facilities were closed since it was a Monday.

Monday is the best day
