- Brad· May 11th, 2025The tour route is very good and the sites well worth seeing. Our tour guide Justin was very knowledgeable on Korean history and provided us with an excellent book that he created containing information on Korea and the sites we visited. The hotels were comfortable and of a good standard. The breakfasts were excellent with choices available for all tastes. The only negative was that we didn't get enough time to fully explore most of the sites visited.Show moreUS Travel Korea commented on this reviewThank you for leaving a review.

- Annie· October 15th, 2023Most of this tour’s destination were just ok, only 2 locations were better and the duration of stay per location can use some improvements. For example, they gave us over 2 hours at one temple and not enough time at the national park. Most of our lunch times were pressed short, everything is in Korean so we have to google translate after waiting in lines after we find which place we want to order from. And it went on like that throughout our week. I read the itinerary when I signed up but their details were not very clear. We take at least 1 multi day tour if not more during our vacations and this tour did not compare at all. After this tour ended, we had a few extra days left and trained back to Busan, bought a day tour in Busan and it had so much more to see. The good parts of this tour was that we got to visit all the different villages and learned some of their history.Show moreTrip date: October 2023

Asked on October 13th, 2025Is this tour going ahead? How many people are confirmed for it? Are there any extra costs to this? When does it have to be paid for?
- US Travel KoreaOperator•Written October 2025

Asked on October 7th, 2025Is the tour a combination of riding in the bus and walking at each location? Also if I chose to stay on my own one or two days extra in Seoul will the airport transfer still be provided?
- US Travel KoreaOperator•Written October 2025
1. Yes, that is correct. Our tour involves traveling by bus between locations, and then walking around to explore each site. 2. We generally provide airport transfer service only on Fridays. If you require airport transfer on a day other than Friday, you would need to book your hotel through us. The additional cost for one extra night's hotel stay is $220.

Robin
Asked on September 16th, 2025What level of difficulty is the walking for a 77 year old with back issues?
- US Travel KoreaOperator•Written September 2025
Our tour involves a lot of walking, so it may be difficult for those with back or spinal issues. In the past, some participants brought a wheelchair, and their companion helped push it during the tour. Please take your time to consider this before making a reservation.

Asked on July 23rd, 2025I would like to book the DMZ Tour on the last day of the tour (September 26th) since my flight departs at 8:55PM. Can I book this extra activity and bring our luggage along and be dropped off at the airport after the tour? Please also let me know how much it costs and if we can make it on time.
- US Travel KoreaOperator•Written July 2025
The DMZ tour costs $80 per person. However, due to potential variability in the tour's ending time, we do not recommend scheduling the tour in the morning if you have a flight later in the afternoon. Airport transfer service is available only if you are staying at our designated hotels.

Joy
Traveler•Written July 2025What are the stops included in the DMZ Tour? Can you list all the places we will visit during the tour?

Traveler•Written July 2025Are the Gamaksan Red Suspension Bridge or Majang Lake Suspension Bridge included in the DMZ Tour?
- US Travel KoreaOperator•Written July 2025
The Gamaksan Red Suspension Bridge and Majang Lake Suspension Bridge are quite far from the DMZ course we operate, so they are not possible to include in the tour.
