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.

5.00Lua was very efficient and clarified beautifully what to expect at each stop during our tour with her - she was as very knowledgeable and I felt we had plenty of time at each view point without feeling ferried around unnecessarily. There were plenty of coffee/pastry/snack and rest breaks along the way which was good as the tour started at 6.30am and we we able to pick up b’fast/lunch en route to the DMZ.

5.00It was a great tour with a well structured, friendly and competent tour guide (her name was Lua). We received a lot of interesting information. The DMZ and the nature surrounding it have been an impressive experience. The price is also comparatively cheap for such a diverse and extensive tour. I would highly recommend that trip to everyone visiting South Korea / Seoul!

5.00Had a wonderful experience with our guide, Sookhee. She was so friendly annd easy to talk to. Her explanations for each location and their history were very good! Communication before the tour was easy using WhatsApp and email. Pick up and travel to Paju/DMZ was comfortable. I think the small group experience was a lot more convenient especially because our guide could reorganize our schedule quickly when needed so we could fit in all of the experiences in a timely manner and she did a great job avoiding the most crowded times at each location! Our experience was 6:30 am to around 4:00 pm, and not a minute was wasted! Thank you Sookhee!!

5.00I’m joined in DMZ tour attend sookhee. She is really nice tour guides. If you want to go to DMZ. I would like to recommend her tour. Sookhee が案内してくれるDMZツアーに参加した。彼女のトークや案内はこのツアーをよりよく理解できる内容で面白かった。中には日本人には頭が痛くなる内容もあるが歴史として受け入れるしかない。DMZツアーに行くなら彼女のツアーに参加する事をオススメする。

5.005/5 — I participated in the DMZ with suspension bridge add-on tour with Sookhee. As our guide, Sookhee was informative, kind, and quick to adapt effectively to any schedule shifts that are typical of the DMZ tour entries. When the morning crowds congested the DMZ entries, she thoughtfully reordered the schedule enabling us to go to the suspension bridge first when the crowds were fewer. She had answers to all my questions, proactively provided key information, made sure we all got photos in notable areas and that nobody was left behind at any stop, which is important for a location that is strict on time limits for tourism. Thank you, Sookhee, for this important educational experience.
Great experience
