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.

Our tour guide, Sook-hee, shared many stories of the Korean War, separated families and appreciation for the many countries that helped South Korean survive. Each of us had a tear in our eyes at some point in her presentation. It was very educational and very moving. The presentation and Q&A session with a North Korean defactor was a huge highlight as well. An amazing lady who escaped with her husband and son with nothing but courage and determination. We were blessed with excellent visibility at the Dora Observatory. And Sook-hee did a great job keeping us all in schedule, which was especially important on the long hike up out of the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel. She also took great pictures for us at the suspension bridge. I highly recommend this tour!

Sook-Hee is an excellent tour guide! The DMZ part of the tour was inspiring, educational, and emotional. A tour highlight was a Q&A with a North Korean woman who had defected with her family. Many interesting stops taught me so much about the Korean War and Korean culture. She is also a great photographer and will make sure that you have many memories of your visit. Do not miss this tour!

Sook-hee was great. Amazing to actually talk to a defector and see North Korea in person.

Good tour, sights were wonderful. A better description of the physicality of tunnel 3 would be beneficial to participants.
