Mobile ticket

Korean War was stopped on 27th of July 1953 after signing armistice agreement, since then, DMZ buffer zone was drawn to prevent any kind of fight from happening.

This tour allows you to understand what happened after Korean War, from 1950s to present days.

It is a DMZ tour but we don't get to go inside the DMZ, DMZ is the border and heavily minded area, we go into the military zone which is outside the DMZ and visit 3rd infiltration tunnel dug by North Korea and observatory to see and understand the DMZ and division.

By the way, this is DMZ tour not JSA, JSA is the place where the armistice was signed and where the president of the USA went to shake his hand with the Leader of North Korea in 2019, this specific tour, please look for JSA tour.

Please bring the passport since we are going into military zone

We hope to meet you all.

What To Expect

Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park

First we will travel for 1 hour to arrive at Imjingak from our pick up point in Seoul. Imjingak is the place built after first talk between South and North Korea in 1972. It became the place for longing the unification of Korea and there are places to see, we will see places listed below before joining the DMZ tour bus. 1. Freedom Bridge - it is made for soldiers to cross the river 2. Rusty locomotive - relocated after being stuck in DMZ for half century 3. Imjin-river train bridge - Train bridge blown up doing the Korean War

DMZ

We take the DMZ tour bus to go visit 3 places. 1.) 3rd infiltration tunnel, 2.) Dora observatory to look at DMZ from the distance, 3) Quick stop at the supermarket in the Unification village DMZ is heavily mined area, only special soldiers can go inside to make sure there is no violation of agreement between South and North Korea. Unfortunately tourist can only see it from observatory that is located outside the DMZ to understand the situation of the division. DMZ is 2km to South and North each from the demarcation line and this line stretches from West to East for about 250 km Let's hope someday we can pass though DMZ as we did in late 2000s (North Korea tours from South were available then)

The DMZ tour was one of the most memorable parts of my trip to South Korea. It offered a unique look into the Korean conflict and the ongoing division between North and South Korea. Highlights included the Third Infiltration Tunnel and Dora Observatory. Our tour guide was excellent: knowledgeable, respectful, and engaging. She shared historical context and stories that made the experience even more meaningful. Our private tour was well-organized and informative. Pick-up and drop-off at our hotel was very helpful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Korea.
Use this operator. 10/10

Visiting the DMZ was a surreal experience. Spending the day with Juno was the highlight of our trip to Korea. June was kind, easy-going and very informative. We learned so much about Seoul and Korean history. He is fluent in English and Spanish. He made the experience fun and engaging for our 3 teens. He was flexible with scheduling. We needed to be back at the hotel by 2pm. He picked us up earlier at 630am which allowed us to beat the traffic and crowds and got us back to the hotel on time. His minivan was spacious, clean and comfortable. This private tour with Juno was well worth it. We look forward to seeing him again on a future tour of other sites in Korea. Highly recommend!
THE BEST- MUST DO TOUR!

AWESOME! Our tour guide Juno was the best!! He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and timely. He speaks very clear English which was so helpful for my parents who were visiting Korea. We asked him countless questions and he had so much Korean history and culture knowledge to share. He took us to a great lunch spot and also stopped by a dumpling place so we could pick some up later on when we asked. He was very attentive and made us feel comfortable. The car was very clean, nice, and spacious as well. Leading up to the tour, I reached out with a question and they responded right away and made sure everything worked out great. Could not have asked for a better tour!! I 100% recommend booking with them!! It was worth every penny!!
