Our tour guide was incredible. We really enjoyed learning and visiting this part of Korea. It was eye opening and a day I will never forget.

I actually visited Korea in September of 2019 but the system would only allow me to select as far back as Dec. Justin was practically perfect. The weather was touch and go during the week (thanks Typhoon LingLing), but he was extremely flexible the entire way through. He let me dictate the locations, the poses, the time, and everything in between. This was a solo trip and a birthday photoshoot I was planning. Justin made absolutely sure that I looked amazing for my big day. The edits had a surprisingly fast turnaround with stunning work as well. I’m African American and sometimes photographers don’t consider my complexion when taking photos in the bright light. Justin didn’t have that problem at all and didn’t try to “brighten” my skin when taking or editing the photos. I would highly recommend him and would have him take my photos again without a second thought. He was also a pleasure to be with and a positive companion for the last days of my trip.

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.

Through this park, vistors can see over 400 photos and documents showing the stark reality of North Korea.

Before back to hotel, we enjoy the Seoul city view at the landmark of Seoul - N Seoul Tower.

Justin was our guide for this tour and he was wonderful! My friends and I have actually lived in Korea for a year and a half and we were not your average group of tour guidees. However, despite this Justin did a fantastic job showing us areas of Seoul that we wouldn't have seen on our own, and was lovely to be around. He made alterations to the schedule to better fit what we were looking for, and was extremely kind and considerate. He did a really good job at making the tour a great experience for us and I really appreciate the kindness he showed us throughout the day. I cannot recommend him enough. We started off by going to Iryeong station and taking lots of pictures there. Other highlights include Yujeong Restaurant and the old Big Hit Entertainment building, where we added a message to the huge amount of fan graffiti on the abandoned building. We then visited k-star road, all the figures for all the different groups were interesting to see. The highlight was being able to see the abandoned swimming pool in the same day, that really was a fantastic way to end the trip: surrounded the cherry blossoms in the Korean spring time while also enjoying taking pictures at the pool was a memory I wont forget. We were also given a folder full of wonderful pictures that were taken throughout the day, and my friends and I had a great time looking through them afterwards. They were high quality and Justin was extremely professional in taking them and also sending them over to us so quickly. I would highly recommend this tour, it is worth the money and I would recommend it for people who are looking to get a bit more of a personal approach to exploring that side of Seoul.
