Looking for the absolute best views of North Korea? Then buckle up for the ultimate DMZ adventure from Seoul to Aegibong, where you'll get the best, unobstructed, and jaw-dropping views of North Korea from South Korea! Skirting the edge of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), this tour takes you closer than you ever thought possible to this mysterious border, with the river by your side and stopping at the closest observatory to the DMZ. Plus, sip a latte at the nearest Starbucks to North Korea while soaking in the wild, untouched beauty of the no-man's zone. This isn't just a tour, it's a thrilling peek into history with a side of epic scenery, making it a must-do for adventure seekers!

The Associated Press (AP) described the Starbucks Aegibong branch, a striking emblem of global capitalism, as "a powerful symbol of security", while CNN noted, "You can even see North Koreans walking around", calling it "one of the few ways to look inside North Korea without crossing the border".
