Review of a private Seoul DMZ tour with the Third Tunnel, Dora Observatory, suspension bridge, Korean BBQ, and flexible guiding.

“Sophia I have nothing but great things to say about our tour guide Sophia. She was on time, courageous, knowledgeable, very upbeat and friendly throughout the entire tour to the suspension bridge and the DMZ. She went with us across the suspension, into the third tunnel (which was exhilarating to say the least) and into the new Dora Observatory. All the way she was giving us information that we would not have known without her. She was a real pleasure to have showing us the beautiful countryside of South Korea.. Will definitely be coming back!! Gary and Lori Lett”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 13 reviews · 3h 30m · from $96

Taste Seoul through BBQ, kimchi, rice wine, soju, markets, and hanok lanes on a 3.5-hour small-group food walk.

“I participated in this tour in June 2025. I really enjoyed the outing. It includes various stops providing a variety of different food tastings. Most of the tours that I had found while searching for food tours involved only stops in the market so I really appreciated that this food tour involved more varied food stops. The guide provided thorough explanations on the food tastings and created a good atmosphere for the group. I highly recommend this food tour.”

Taser was a very good host who knew a lot about the area, Sinchon and about wine. But he was also very thoughtful, and interesting and great to talk to. As was the other guest on the tour which made for a great few hours enjoying lovely food and wine, and great company. It really was something different…”
