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.

Eugene is the King of the DMZ!!!

5.00I had the pleasure of having Eugene of Seoul City Tour be my guide for a tour of the Paju DMZ. Before the tour he was extremely communicative with details of the tour, helping me understand how things would work so I could be prepared. He was knowledgeable, fun, a great general conversationalist. The day of the tour he was early at my hotel so there was no waiting. That day it was very cold and he came prepared with hand warmers, snacks and water. I am an English speaker and he was perfect on the language. I also had limited time and he ensured it was an efficient trip. I would highly recommend him.

5.00Erika’s DMZ tour was outstanding—informative, engaging, and genuinely exciting from start to finish. Her deep knowledge of the history and current realities of the DMZ really brought the experience to life, and her passion for the subject was clear in every explanation.
