What is the DMZ – an exciting experience like no other
While the Cold War happened a long time ago, Korea is the only country that still remains divided as a consequence. The DMZ lies on the border between the North and the South. This is the most heavily fortified border in the whole world, so don’t miss the chance to see it! You should expect a truly immersive and unforgettable trip on all our DMZ tours!
What to expect – kickstart your trip with our seamless itinerary
Your experience while visiting the DMZ depends mainly on the quality of your tour guide. The only way to truly understand the impact of the DMZ is to visit with a very knowledgeable guide.
Besides the historical evidence of the war, there is a whole dimension of emotion to experience. Our professional tour guides are here to help you gain that more profound insight during our DMZ Tour.

5.00It was such a fun and interesting tour. Alex was our tour guide, and he is passionate about teaching others about Korean history. He is knowledgable and has had actual experience near North Korea during his military service. He is a great communicator and made the trip a memorable one! I strongly recommend going on this tour.
