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 had a wonderful private DMZ tour with Hazel. She spoke great English, took care of everything including making reservations for lunch, and arranging for an additional interviews with a defector. With a rich history lesson of the Korean War, she made the whole visit very meaningful. My Korean parents and sister were also part of the tour, they commended her several times for her excellence - and my parents still disapprove of me so bar is very high! :)
Great tour

5.00This private DMZ tour was seamless from start to finish. My guide, Lloyd Shin, was organized, extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly. He provided great context for everything we saw and made the logistics of the day effortless. I had a tight timeline to fit the tour in before my flight and they helped make it work so I made it to the airport perfectly on time. Highly recommend this educational visit to the DMZ, book this tour and ask for Lloyd!
Deep dive into Korea's history at the DMZ

5.00This was an incredible glimpse into Korea's history and why the DMZ was created. Lizzy explained the history leading up to the separation and what has happened since. Seeing the tunnels was eye-opening as was hearing from a North Korean defector on why she and her family escaped.
Educational tour!
