What To Expect
DMZ
The DMZ is a unique area where you can observe one country being divided into two. With this tour, you will visit the 3rd Tunnel, DMZ Exhibition hall, Dora observatory and Unification village. Experience the tension but hope for peace in Korea and learn about their history and future. [DMZ Theater & Exhibition Hall] The DMZ Theater and Exhibition Hall offers videos and key artifacts that help visitors understand the painful history of Korea’s division. With displays of photographs, documents, and remnants from the past, visitors can gain a deeper and clearer insight into the historical events that led to the division of the Korean Peninsula.
Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park
Imjingak Park, originally established as a place of solace for refugees from North Korea during the Korean War, features several symbolic monuments such as the Freedom Bridge, the Soldiers’ Memorial, and the Peace Bell. Adjacent to it, Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park offers visitors a chance to reflect on Korea’s history, the ongoing tensions, and hopes for peace. With monuments like the Mangbaedan, a war-damaged steam locomotive, and open spaces dedicated to remembrance and harmony, the area holds strong potential to be designated as an international peace park.

5.00From pickup to drop off, BK was fantastic. Excellent info, good pace, it was like a private tour in amongst a bunch of 20+ person tour groups. Also the van ride was smooth and comfy (I get motion sickness easily). Seriously can't recommend enough!
Great experience!

5.00BK was outstanding, would highly recommend him and this tour agency. My wife is from Thailand and I'm from Hawaii, we specifically chose to visit Korea in winter for a change of climate and recommend those from warm countries to do the same. This is our second tour with the agency and we will book again in the future. Laurence from Hawaii

5.00Bk was patient and explained everything clearly The personal anecdote by the NK survivor was memorable. A pity some sites were closed due to political tension at the moment but it did not affect the overall experience.
Fascinating view into the DMZ

5.00Had a great time seeing some key sights and hearing about the incredibly complex and fascinating history of Korea and the DMZ with Mr Young across half a day. He was funny, friendly and full of knowledge, and the sites were interesting to visit and learn more about the history. The tour group was small, so it felt very private and flexible as to what we wanted to do and made for a nice atmosphere meeting new people. All admission fees were covered in the price of the tour, and always felt well taken care of and guided by Mr Young. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who has an interest in this recent part of Korean history.
