What To Expect
DMZ
After pickup at your Seoul hotel in the morning or afternoon, drive to the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). En route, your guide shares expert commentary on the dividing line between North and South Korea. Get out at Imjingak Park along the banks of Imjin River to see artillery and war artifacts that were used during the Korean conflict before proceeding to Freedom bridge, where nearly 13,000 Korean POWs crossed on their return back home to South Korea. Reboard the coach and head to the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, located beneath the border of North Korea and South Korea. See where the South Koreans have blocked the actual Military Demarcation Line with concrete barricades, and browse photographs and war artifacts at the DMZ exhibition hall. Your next stop is Dora Observatory, where you can use binoculars to get a glimpse of North Korea. Listen to your guide explain daily life in the village of Kijongdong across the river. Continue by coach to Dorasan Station, a historic spot that not only marks the division, but also serves as a gateway for exchanges between the north and south. Pass by the Unification Village, a small farming community that specialized in creating soybean milk, traditional soy sauce and corn goods.

5.00Miel was very energetic and informative tour guide. She provided great insight into Korean history and background regarding the DMZ formulation. I appreciate that she allowed participants to tour at their own physical pace. This is our 2nd DMZ Tour and this time we added the Defector interview. It was interesting meeting an individual from DPRK. We greatly enjoyed this tour and appreciate our tour guide Miel!
Great Guide for DMZ

She was helpful and didnt yell at us or treat the group like schoolchildren. Perfect level of activities and breaks and free time. BR from USA
