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.

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.

So interesting. We absolutely loved it. Korean history is fascinating. Our guide was a Ray-of-sunshine and we thought he was Ray-mark able. They keep to a schedule and it felt like we got a lot out of our tour. The Korean BBQ lunch is so good! It’s not included in the cost but is inexpensive and so good. Thanks for a great day Ray.

This tour was great! Ray did an amazing job of explaining the history, culture, and political climate. He was accommodating to the children in our group and gave detailed outline of the tour schedule regularly. This tour could be two days long and I would go both days. There was so much good information provided. Thanks Ray and VIP tours.
