Visit Baengmagoji Battlefield and Cheorwon History & Culture Park before the optional Hantangang Y-Bridge crossing over volcanic cliffs. Hotel pickup/drop-off, bibimbap lunch, and a fully flexible schedule.

Great Day in the DMZ with Chris

5.00We had a great small group tour with Chris, which unexpectedly turned out to be a “private” tour since we were the only participants. Chris has a wealth of information about the history and current situation with North Korea and also about Seoul and Korea in general. He is very conversant in English. Because there were only 2 of us instead of a larger group, we moved quickly and he did a great job filling in the extra time seeing other sights. And his choice of a family-style restaurant for our meal was excellent. We felt like old friends by the time the day ended. Thank you Chris!
Jade the best tour guide

5.00It was an amazing and well organized tour. The program was selected perfectly. Jude is a great guide and reallly positive person. I definitelly reccomend to go to Cheorwon and Tunel 2 as it is not so turistic and with this a real experience. We had also an opportunity to try local, healthy and vegetarian lunch, which was very delicious.
Let's do it.
