Seoul: DMZ Tour with 2nd Tunnel, Hantangang & Scenic Wonders

The adventure begins at Goseokjeong National Tourist Area, a scenic retreat known for its striking rock formations along the Hantan River. Visitors can explore by boat or walk on the frozen river on winter. Next, step onto the Hantangang Milky Way Bridge, a stunning glass bridge suspended over the Hantangang River. The highlight of the tour is the DMZ Durumi Peace Town. Wear a helmet and visit the 2nd Tunnel, an infiltration tunnel secretly built by North Korea and discovered in 1975.

This three-story building was constructed in 1946 when the area was part of North Korea, still bears scars from shelling and ghunfire after the Korean War.

I'm glad I picked this trip, it is unique to the others. We went to tunnel 2, there were no crowds, the other tourists were all South Korean. Transport was a soccer mum mini van. Sam is a really good guide, he had lots of information on the war, and answered all our questions. He is laid back and has a good sense of humour. Five stars!

Very nice tour. The day was packed with places visited, there were no “now you have an hour to do whatever you want” breaks, so the tour went at an adequate pace and we managed to visit 6 different places despite the 2hrs drive from Seoul. The drive was smooth and quiet so we could use the time to relax. Thumbs up to John, our guide!

It's a comprehensive tour in a small group that takes you to a less frequented place.Our guide Sam provided us with detailed background information and despite the serious topic created a cheerful and comforting atmosphere. The food on the way back was fresh, local and delicious. A clear recommendation.

Thank you so much for this well organized and interesting tour. We were only a group of five, so it felt like a private tour. Sam was a fantastic guide giving us many insights and answering all our questions. The snacks in the morning, the coffee and the bibimbap were very delicious.
