What To Expect
DMZ
After pickup at your Seoul hotel in the morning or afternoon, drive to the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). En route, your guide shares expert commentary on the dividing line between North and South Korea. Get out at Imjingak Park along the banks of Imjin River to see artillery and war artifacts that were used during the Korean conflict before proceeding to Freedom bridge, where nearly 13,000 Korean POWs crossed on their return back home to South Korea. Reboard the coach and head to the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, located beneath the border of North Korea and South Korea. See where the South Koreans have blocked the actual Military Demarcation Line with concrete barricades, and browse photographs and war artifacts at the DMZ exhibition hall. Your next stop is Dora Observatory, where you can use binoculars to get a glimpse of North Korea. Listen to your guide explain daily life in the village of Kijongdong across the river. Continue by coach to Dorasan Station, a historic spot that not only marks the division, but also serves as a gateway for exchanges between the north and south. Pass by the Unification Village, a small farming community that specialized in creating soybean milk, traditional soy sauce and corn goods. We will take you back to the hotel after the tour.

5.00We’re a family of four from India, and our private DMZ tour with Lizzy was the highlight of our trip. Lizzy is extremely knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Korean history. She explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to follow, without ever feeling rushed or overly academic. What stood out even more was how kind, pleasant, and patient she was with all of us. We were traveling with my 77-year-old father, and Lizzy made sure he was comfortable throughout the day. She paced the tour perfectly, checked in with him regularly, and never made us feel hurried. That level of care made a huge difference for our family. She’s a thorough professional who balances expertise with a calm, unhurried manner. You feel like you’re being shown around by a friend who just happens to know everything about the DMZ. If you’re looking for a private guide who will make the experience both insightful and comfortable, ask for Lizzy. She made our day in Korea truly memorable. Thanks again, Lizzy!
Fantastic Private DMZ tour!

5.00Lizzy was very friendly and knowledgeable! A fun and engaging tour guide, and before we'd even reached the DMZ we were given so much interesting knowledge about the history between North & South Korea. We had a baby with us too so we needed a couple of longer breaks and she was very thoughtful and patient.
