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.

5.00Sookhee was very nice and personable throughout the tour and was willing to answer any questions we had. It was a smaller group which was very nice. It was unfortunately very rainy the day we did the tour, but we were able to still have a great experience with the tour and see everything.
Good tour, bad weather

5.00It was very exciting and magical. Nothing like we’ve ever experienced. Sookhee & Eddie were the best guides ever. They kept us on schedule so we could see many things. The hike was so wonderful and beautiful. We will never forget this experience.
DMZ has limits on numbers and your ticket may not get you there.

3.00We never got into the DMZ, which was my reason for going. There were limited tickets and others got there before us. My pickup time was moved in by 15 minutes, due to the limits, however it took the transport over an hour to pick up everyone. A good fix would be to provide one pick up location (like city hall) and have all taxi there. We went to other areas after the exhibit hall. Was a disappointment not getting into the DMZ though. This happens, so please be aware a ticket may not grant you access.
Do not recommend

3.00The tour was on-time and visited all the spots on the itinerary. The guide was very kind, however it would have been nice to have more information given about the DMZ and the schedule for the day. Such as, you won’t have access to the van for 3-4 hours so bring everything you need; or this is the last stop for food, so grab something if you want. It was never clear when we were supposed to eat lunch. The driver was nice and the van was pleasant and clean. I think my family would have enjoyed a half-day tour better.
