You will stop by 3 to 4places

  1. 3rd Infiltrational tunnel , which was dug by N.Korea after Korean war! You can acutally get inside the tunnel on foot

  2. Dora observatory : where you can see N.Korea with your naked eyes and you can use binoculars to see N.Korean village, field, soldiers, ppl,etc

The DMZ tour is quite popular among Seoul tourists, however, many often overlook a breathtaking sightseeing spot, the Suspension Bridge located at Mt.Gamaksan, which is just a 30-minute drive from the DMZ.

With just a short 10-minute hike, you can take in the stunning landscape of the Korean Mountain and the Suspension bridge!

In the morning, our tour kicks off at the DMZ, visiting Imjingak peace park, the 3rd invasion tunnel situated in the Demilitarized zone and quite close to MDL, Dora observatory which offers a view of N.Korea, and Unification Village within the Civilian control zone. So, step into the DMZ itself and get a glimpse of N.Korea, becoming an eyewitness to the only country in the world that has been split into two.

Tour the DMZ - Loved having Vincent as a tour guide! The smaller group was nice at the beginning of the tour and you will be put on a big bus when it’s time to actually go into the DMZ zone. All that said, this tour was great!

Eye opening experience and good tour size - This was an eye opening and very informative experience. Being in a small group tour was convenient as it was easy to get around and listen to our guide. The tour operators were friendly, punctual and very well organised.

Interesting and informative! - What an interesting day. It was a long day but learning about and standing in the DMZ is quite fascinating. Our guide Andy was very kind and helpful. We had to adjust our day a bit because it was busy and we didn’t get our spot into the DMZ until. 1:30, so we went out and visited the suspension bridge first, came back to Peace Park and were able to have lunch and explore and then we went in at 1:30. We started at 3rd tunnel and that was so interesting, followed by the observation tower and lastly a quick stop on reunification village. We really enjoyed our day! We arrived back in Seoul at Myeongdong at 5:30!

Great experience at the DMZ! - Very convenient pickup in the morning as it was a short walk from our building. Besides my family of four, there were only four others on the van from central Seoul to the DMZ. Vincent was our tour guide/driver and kept us updated on each stop, when, and where the entire day. Vincent is very knowledgeable about the DMZ, as well as the surrounding area and history. It was even better that our return drive to Seoul was close enough for a short walk home at the end of the day. Highly recommend Vincent and this small group tour!

Great tour to the DMZ - Well-organized. Time for pick-up was well informed and punctual. Comprehensive tour that could be better with more time at the Reunification Village. Joy-ee is the perfect tour guide and manages to tell the history and stories from the DMZ excellently.

Very interesting and fun - It was a nice full-day, small-group tour. Joo-Ee was our tour guide and she was awesome: organized, knowledgeable, and very friendly. Too bad the weather didn’t cooperate the way I wanted. This will give me the opportunity to go back in the future.

Well organised tour to DMZ - We took this small group tour to DMZ, with Vincent as a guide/driver of a minivan. Vincent was a good guide and I most enjoyed his story telling about the separation of Korea and its impact on its people, it was quite emotional. At the DMZ we joined a larger coach organised by authorities. The tour is best suited for people interested in learning more about the Korean war history and peoples, and there isn't a great deal in terms of sights to see. The suspension bridge was pleasant but can be skipped. Although the site says 7.30am start, my hotel pick up was actually 6.05am. There is no defined lunchtime but you can get a snack at the DMZ entrance park.

Physically exhausting - I'm 68 years old and am not usually physically active. The 3rd Tunnel just about did me in. Remember that what goes down must come up.
