Experience a captivating tour in South Korea, where you can see the closest point to North Korea from the frontlines guarded by the Marine Corps. Your guide will share Korea’s division history and stories of the divided peninsula, giving you a deeper understanding of the country's past. After lunch, visit the UNESCO-listed Joseon Royal Tombs, where traditional royal ceremonies are still performed annually by the royal descendants. Unlike crowded palaces, these tombs offer a peaceful and private atmosphere, allowing you to experience Korea’s rich history in a calm and reflective setting.

You can choose to visit either a vintage café, converted from a weaving factory, or a former military base that once protected Seoul against spies, both of which offer meaningful insights into Korea’s social, economic, and security history. During lunch, enjoy a delicious local meal of your choice, instead of a fixed budget menu set by the tour company, making your trip even more enjoyable.

What To Expect

Aegibong Peace Eco Park

This is the front-line area protected by South Korea’s Marine 2nd Division, where visitors can see North Korea very closely. Until 2013, they held Christmas lighting events so North Koreans could watch from their side. North Korea often threatened to destroy the tower. Now, it is known as the "most dangerous Starbucks in the world," and visitors can also observe North Korean villagers’ daily lives using binoculars. It’s a unique place with a rich history and stunning views.
