“Later start than most of the tours, good communication and fun tour guide Hana. Lots of information and a good tour of the DMZ. No food stop as such so bring some snacks, you can buy food at the stops but it's quite fast paced. The tunnel was very hard so not for the infirm or unfit. Long walk 250m or so, down a 20° slope then 250m or do in a 5ft high tunnel to then return same route. I managed it as a 62yr old 5ft 3in female but was very challenging. Lucky with the weather,we had a fab day out. Left at 9.30am return by 4pm.”
