Speaking of tour guide, it is lovely job to show you beautiful and enjoyable Seoul with my story telling.

Overview of your Seoul tour

No.1 choice by 10 million international tourists. DMZ is the last place where "War-like Tensions" are still alive. Why don't you feel it with veteran Kevin. I was discharge as a Staff Sergeant. This will help more insights into the "DMZ tour". And open to any questions: why the Korea(Joseon) was devided, insights into the Korean war, South-North relationship and Koreans feeling about the other Korea, why nuclear weapons of N. Korea, North Korean defectors, possibility of future unification, how we feel about unification, military misc.. ♥ Less than 6 people: refer to the "DMZ n Seoul Essence with Veteran Staff Sergeant" ♡ During DMZ tour, we have to join group tour because the DMZ is military area (the rest of the tour is private tour). ♡ Request custom tour for the special Monday DMZ tour
