What To Expect
DMZ
The DMZ is a unique area where you can observe one country being divided into two. With this tour, you will visit the 3rd Tunnel, DMZ Exhibition hall, Dora observatory and Unification village. Experience the tension but hope for peace in Korea and learn about their history and future. [DMZ Theater & Exhibition Hall] The DMZ Theater and Exhibition Hall offers videos and key artifacts that help visitors understand the painful history of Korea’s division. With displays of photographs, documents, and remnants from the past, visitors can gain a deeper and clearer insight into the historical events that led to the division of the Korean Peninsula.
Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park
Imjingak Park, originally established as a place of solace for refugees from North Korea during the Korean War, features several symbolic monuments such as the Freedom Bridge, the Soldiers’ Memorial, and the Peace Bell. Adjacent to it, Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park offers visitors a chance to reflect on Korea’s history, the ongoing tensions, and hopes for peace. With monuments like the Mangbaedan, a war-damaged steam locomotive, and open spaces dedicated to remembrance and harmony, the area holds strong potential to be designated as an international peace park.

An insight into life in North Korea

5.00The DMZ tour in a small group is incredibly fun. And you also have more opportunities to ask questions and not experience things like a mass handling. You're more flexible. It's definitely not for late risers. The tour starts very early. But getting up early is worth it. Our guide Sook-hee welcomes you very friendly and it is really fun to let her explain things. She responds to everyone and has many stories to tell. You get a little insight into life in North Korea. At the end of the day you are just tired but have seen a lot for it.
What truly determines the quality of a tour is the guidance, and we were fortunate to have the perfect guide.

He did everything possible to make the tour interesting, educational, enjoyable, and successful. We could not have asked for a better guide!

5.00Sook-hee is a very knowledgeable and empathetic guide. She tried really hard to.accomodate to my claustrophobia and knee injury. In the end, I bit the bullet and descended into the tunnel. Sook-hee kept checking on me to see that I was managing well and kept encouraging me. With my partner my side and reassurance from her, I completed the ENTIRE tunnel ....back and forth!!! The meeting with an actual defector really squeezed my heart and I am in awe of the trauma she had to go through for the sake of her family. My heart goes not to the many families who had been divided because of the war and I pray that they will be reunited in their lifetime.
We had an amazing time...
