The DMZ was shut when we visited ( we think it reopens early in March) so we took a private tour with DMZ Spy tours with Shrek and Major BangSun Im ( who had recently retired from DMZ military guard). We started with a lovely hours walk in the mountains overlooking Seoul, to see battle site from the 1968 North Korea guerrilla attack and attempted assassination of the South Korean president . We then drove to Odusan Unification Tower, opposite North Korea where the Han and Imjin Rivers meet. On the route we drove past increasing security measures. Firstly fences of electrified single barbed wire, then double, then triple , past camouflaged tanks - then Polaris missiles! At the tower we looked through binoculars and could see North Koreans in their villages, tending to livestock, cycling , walking their dogs! After a fantastic lunch of BBQ duck and loads of amazing side dishes, they took us back to Seoul and the War Memorial. There we had a meeting with a North Korean defector- Seo Jae Pyoung. 19 years ago he left his home and got to the Chinese border, where at night he crossed the river to China. He then spent 14 months getting to South Korea. We spent nearly an hour with him and were able to ask him questions. It was a privilege to meet him and very humbling. What a fascinating day, we can highly recommend this tour.

Makgeolli Mamas and Papas is led by two people, Julia ( an Aussie) and Daniel ( A Scotsman) who have an amazing appreciation, knowledge and connection to Korean traditional liquors - especially Magkeolli and Soju and all the other yummy 'byproducts'. They run meetings every 3 weeks when they visit new Magkeolli bars in Seoul, they organize brewery tours, but probably the best experience is their Insadong Magkeolli Tour where you visit three Magkeolli pubs with unique atmospheres, menus and tastings. I took my staff on this tour and they loved it. Julia and Daniel both speak Korean and have great relationships with the pubs, the proprietors and the brewers so they know the history as well as the current status of the 'traditional liquor scene' in Korea. If you are in Seoul and want a real experience of Korean food and drinking culture, get in touch with Julia and Daniel. Prices for the tour range from about 75. 000 KRW - 120. 000 Krw each depending on the level of tastings you want. Totally worth it and a great cultural experience, even for those of us who have lived in Seoul for a few years! Highly recommended.

Took 1/2 day DMZ tour (booked on viatour). A must do. Third tunnel was a highlight. Our guide SP Hong was excellent! Super informative, lovely person, and overall excellent. Went so far at the end of the tour to walk us inside the subway to teach us how to use the ticket machine. Without his help we would have been lost for sure!
