Not what we paid for but glad we went

The trip was good and we learnt a lot, but we were very disappointed that we couldn’t go to the actual DMZ. I understand the reason was due to the African Swine Flu, which is obviously no fault of the tour operator. However I saw some information regarding the closure from October this year, on another website, but as this tour was being sold as a DMZ visit we assumed the closure had been lifted. We booked two nights before the trip and the following morning received the email saying that we wouldn’t be going to the actual DMZ. So we know that when we paid for the tour, the company knew we wouldn’t be getting the package we paid for. It’s a bit of a scam but we wanted to go anyway instead of arguing for our money back. I am glad we visited the places we did but I wish the closure had been mentioned when we made the booking. Would still recommend but just be aware.
