We visited the three key sites along the DMZ: the Observation Post, the Third Infiltration Tunnel, and the Unification Village. At the Observation Post, we could see across the border into North Korea—a sobering reminder of the nation’s division. The tunnel revealed the tension and determination that once defined this conflict, while the Unification Village offered a contrasting vision of hope and coexistence. Together, these places told a powerful story of struggle, resilience, and the ongoing desire for peace. It was a moving experience that deepened our understanding of Korea’s past and its longing for reconciliation and unity.
You have to make this excursion if you come to Korea

Very interesting excursion. Jenny our guide very attentive and friendly. The only catch is that we are Spanish and we do not find excursion in Spanish, only English and we didn't understand everything. But highly recommended

Jenny was a great guide for the tour and taught me a lot of new about Korean history and the history of the DMZ. It was the perfect amount of information and the tour was fun and interesting. She was a great tour guide and I'd recommend her for anyone else.
Worthy to really understand South Korea

It was a very special trip, especially the underground tunnel is really amazing, although going back a little tired, but I feel very worth it, and there is also a tour looking at North Korea I find very interesting
One of the best experiences in South Korea

Went on this tour with my boyfriend. Alice was very patient, kind and friendly. She even waited for us when we had arrived a couple minutes late to our pick up time due to traffic. She was very knowledgeable and took her time to make sure everyone could hear and see her when gathering the group. Overall, I highly recommend doing this tour and the activities were definitely challenging so please be prepared.
