We were picked up right on time by Paul and Aaron for our tour of the Korean DMZ. We paid a little extra, (30,000 Won) to be picked up at our hotel in Incheon. Paul was our guide and Aaron our driver. Paul was very knowledgeable of the events of the Korean War conflict and brought us up to speed on everything we were going to see. We drove into the DMZ and went to our first stop, the 3rd invasion tunnel dug by the NKA. The tunnel tour is a must! It was a drizzly and foggy day so we were not able to see NK from the observation deck. I recommend you wait for a clear day if you can. We only had the one day available to do the tour so we went anyways! Despite the weather we saw many more sights and even stopped at the war museum in Song Do area which was not on the tour! All in all a great tour, reasonably priced, and well worth the time!Dane_C
