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.

This DMZ tour was amazing and I would highly recommend the package with everything include so you do not miss out on any of the experience. Judy from VIP travel was a great addition since she was a great tour guide and very high spirited. I hope everyone who travels to South Korea gets to experience this tour.

It was a great experience because of our AMAZING tour guide, Hana (name twins!), who was really engaging, funny, and knowledgeable; be prepared for lots of walking but also lots of breaks. It was such a unique way to experience Korean history. Highly recommend the suspension bridge and gondola add-ons — getting to the suspension bridge is a little steep but totally do-able. The gondola ride was beautiful and the only way to cross the CCZ via air. Thank you for the amazing experience, Hana!!
