I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to avoid the typical overcrowded tour bus and focus on a more individualized experience at the DMZ.
Our tour guide David was communicative (phone call and kakao chat for communication), knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to streamline our itinerary. David purchased all tickets for us, filled out necessary forms for DMZ entry, had a ample supply of water in our van, got us around the huge tour groups at each stop, answered all of our questions about DMZ and Korea in general, customized our itinerary so we could see two additonal stops (Gloucester Memorial and a Confuscian Shrine) and was an excellent and safe driver. We had a great time with our guide! He was excellent.
What to expect -- during your tour to the DMZ, you will follow the main stops on the itinerary as listed on Viator. Do not forget your passport
if you are from USA. There are DMZ checkpoints requiring identification. You will be transported to the DMZ by your tour guides vehicle (van) but at the DMZ transportation is controlled by buses. You will be walking quite a lot and there is a decent amount of elevation, especially at the Third Tunnel. Just be prepared with good shoes, ideally shoes with good grip. There were actually a decent amount of places during the itinerary to get snacks and food. I would still recommend bringing a few granola bars or something to eat while walking. It's a LONG day. We started at 630am and were home around 530pm. No critiques but just a warning to make sure you're prepared for the long day!
Again, overall, if you want the full DMZ experience this is *the* tour.
