Seoul: Paju DMZ to 3rd Tunnel, Camp Greaves & more (EG Tour)

Embark on an extraordinary Paju DMZ Tour and immerse yourself in a journey that transcends boundaries. Departing from three convenient meeting points in the heart of Seoul, this tour promises an unforgettable exploration of the demilitarized zone and its surroundings for shared tours. Our adventure begins at Imjingak Park, where you'll discover the symbolic Freedom Bridge—a poignant reminder of the hope for reunification. Take a moment to reflect as you stand on this historic bridge, witnessing the remnants of a divided past slowly blending into a shared future. Next we will have Paju Imjingak Peace Gondola ride across the Imjingang River into the DMZ civilian control zone. While riding the gondola, you'll get a rare view of the heavily restricted area that separates North and South Korea. Once you reach the other side, you can explore the Peace Gondola Observatory, learn about Korea’s divided history, and see historical remnants like guard posts and wire fences up close. It’s a thought-provoking experience combining scenic beauty with deep historical meaning. Our journey continues to Camp Greaves, a once-active U.S. military camp nestled within the 'Civilian Control Line.' Embrace the opportunity to strike a pose as if you were a star in a Korean drama filmed on-site. These immersive activities offer a glimpse into the lives of those who dedicated themselves to safeguarding the peace. After a lunch break and free time, continue your journey into the heavily fortified Paju DMZ area. The pinnacle of the tour is an awe-inspiring visit to the 3rd Tunnel, a clandestine passageway burrowed beneath the DMZ. Cap off your day at the Dora Observatory, where you can gaze across the border into North Korean territory, a thrilling glimpse into a land veiled in mystery. The entire experience is guided, educational, and deeply moving—perfect for travelers curious about geopolitics, history, and Korea’s modern identity.

Korea: North VS South Korea comparison tour

Korea: North VS South Korea comparison tour

Do you know that there is a place where the distance between North Korean village and South Korea is close enough that you can actually see them working outside or playing? There is no need to go all the way to DMZ to experience a typical tour but you can actually see North Korea's life just about 1km away with a telescope. After the visitation of that place, we will experience North Korean's food (A Pyeonyang noodle) I bet that the taste will be something that you must have never experienced before. (Either good or bed^^) Once you have some feeling about North Korean's life, then you will visit south Korean village which is very close from North Korea where there are abundant culture and art shops a located. With this tour you can experience an extreme difference between South and North Korea in 1 day!

Alex was an amazing tour guide! You could clearly see how much he loves his job and his English is on point. The tour was very interesting and although it took almost 7 hours, it didn’t feel like it. It was fascinating to hear and see about the history of the country although I have to say that some parts of the tour felt very touristy (e.g. the 7 minute video that felt like a blockbuster movie…).

This was a very informative and interesting day trip and Luna our guide was terrific. Communication was very clear from pick up point location and timing, to rules and guidelines in the military zones to drop off. I highly recommend this day trip.
