What is the DMZ – an exciting experience like no other
While the Cold War happened a long time ago, Korea is the only country that still remains divided as a consequence. The DMZ lies on the border between the North and the South. This is the most heavily fortified border in the whole world, so don’t miss the chance to see it!
OPTIONAL : Gondonla
Gondola tour is one of our most popular DMZ tours and can also be an excellent alternative to our DMZ Tour when political or military events restrict access to some of the stops on those tours.
OPTIONAL : Red Suspension Bridge
The Gamaksan Red Suspension Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Korea at 220m long and 1.5m wide. It can hold up to 900 adults and is constructed to withstand 30 meters per second winds and earthquakes of up to 7 magnitude. Its stunning scenic views make it the perfect spot to capture beautiful photos, and it is always well-received.

DMZ
Dive into the Korean Demilitarized Zone, a 4 km-wide strip splitting North and South since 1953. Hear the eerie quiet as gravel crunches underfoot. See barbed wire gleam and feel the Cold War’s lingering tension. Your guide shares tales of defectors and secret tunnels, sending chills down your spine. Peer through binoculars at North Korea’s propaganda villages, their mystery gripping you. This DMZ tour from Seoul blends history and intrigue, offering a front-row seat to a divided world. It’s an unforgettable journey into Korea’s heart.

The DMZ remains a...

5.00The DMZ remains a dangerous spot, is heavily guarded, is much larger than imagined and offers new insights how distrust remains decades later.
Fascinating!

5.00We had a great day on this tour! Our tour guide was Lina, and she was organised, really friendly and engaging. We had 5 stops and all of them were worth seeing, so, even if you are unsteady on your feet and the tunnel is too steep, there is still lots to see. We found it really interesting and good value. We would highly recommend it as a must -see tour if you are in Seoul!
Very misleading

1.00The tour of the DMZ area itself is very interesting but the add-ons like the suspension bridge and the gondola ride are a complete waste of time. In fact if you take the gondola ride you won't have time to visit Imjingak Park. So you pay extra for the gondola but actually get less. And forget about trying to get your money back for this part of the tour. Viator takes no responsibility.
Wonderful tour of DMZ with Jenny

5.00This is such an incredible tour, but far better for the insight, enthusiasm, experience and helpfulness of Jenny. We weren’t sure what to expect and Jenny was very patient in giving details, advice and instructions to all visitors- particularly those whose first language wasn’t English. The trio was the highlight of our visit to South Korea and much of that was down to the time Jenny spent helping everyone, taking take of everyone and explaining the country’s recent history in a clear way. Her personal family stories really added to the tour and provided a poignancy. Thank you VIP Travel and Jenny so much 👏👏👏👏👏
