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!

5.00Nancy was a wonderful tour guide for this DMZ tour! She gave a lot of great insight to each of the places we visited as well as some of the history behind the DMZ. On our tour we got to hit all the major spots along the DMZ boarder as well as doing the red suspension bridge. I’d highly recommend this as a good day trip from Seoul!
Great tour with Diane

5.00My tour with Alex was absolutely amazing! He provided us with the perfect amount of history and context to make the trip feel meaningful and truly very special. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and it makes you excited for the upcoming spots as well. Even though DMZ and this part of Korea’s history may seem boring, Alex explains everything clearly and succinctly which makes it very fun and interesting. He also clearly thinks a lot about his guests’ experience and is generally very friendly and helpful. Thank you Alex!
