The tour is interesting and informative, but you can't take photos in the tunnel, nor from the Observatory to North Korea. The tunnel tour is strenuous and you don't really see anything except a tunnel. That was a little disappointing. Take binoculars with you, because even from the Observatory it is still quite far to North Korea More can probably not be done at the moment since Panmunjeom can no longer be visited The guide Judy was great and explained everything excellently.

Ray, our tour guide was top notch! Full of life and energy and enthusiasm. The tour lasts roughly 7 hours and foreigners visiting Korea get to also enjoy the views of rural Korea when transiting to the DMZ and back. The 3rd tunnel is amazing. The history is fascinating. Lots of food, resteraunts and cafes available for choice on all stops with souvenirs. Get great views of North Korean territory from the observatory :) Highly recommended 👌 AAA++++
Fabulous tour to the DMZ

Later start than most of the tours, good communication and fun tour guide Hana. Lots of information and a good tour of the DMZ. No food stop as such so bring some snacks, you can buy food at the stops but it's quite fast paced. The tunnel was very hard so not for the infirm or unfit. Long walk 250m or so, down a 20° slope then 250m or do in a 5ft high tunnel to then return same route. I managed it as a 62yr old 5ft 3in female but was very challenging. Lucky with the weather,we had a fab day out. Left at 9.30am return by 4pm.
