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!

This is a fantastic tour to learn about the history of the Korean War and its impact of the people of Korea. Our tour guide was Moon who shares some insightful and touching stories of how her family was separated by the war. It’s a fast paced tour and requires a moderate level of fitness with stairs and inclines. I would highly recommend!
A brilliant visit to the DMZ

I've had some excellent guides during my visit to S Korea but Nancy was another level of fabulousness. Incredibly bright and cheerful, yet full of information. She somehow managed to enhance an already brilliant tour. Thanks Nancy. The tour itself was well organised and well planned. Communication beforehand was excellent. We visited several points of interest and it was always clear why we were there. Time was split into group time and free time at each stop. I would absolutely recommend VIP Travel and Nancy.

Kelly is a fantastic tour guide! She gave us a lot of useful information and made sure we can enjoy the trip. We had plenty of time for photos, food and toilet breaks. It was well organised and definitely worth the money. Kelly is very knowledgeable and she also explained the Korean culture. She is very caring and friendly. The trip exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it!

Highly recommend this tour! Moon is an excellent tour guide and made it more of a personal experience by sharing her story about her family and the Korean War. She also answered so many questions about history, food, and other Seoul recommendations. It’s an active tour! The hike out of the third tunnel is no joke. We loved getting outside of the city to hike around and see more of Korea. Great for history nerds too. Even though it’s a touristy area, it did not feel too touristy and Moon really personalized our experience. Would visit again.
