Full description

Journey to one of the most meaningful tourist destinations in the world — the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), located on the border between South and North Korea. Gain a deeper understanding of Korean history and culture.

1. DMZ Tour: Tuesdays to Sundays
Enjoy access to Imjingak Park, where you can see the Bridge of Freedom then, explore the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, an incomplete passage built by North Korea beneath the DMZ. Back on the surface, ascend Mount Dora to visit the Dora Observatory, offering panoramic views across the border. Take in the view of the 2.4-mile (4 km) wide DMZ that has divided the Korean Peninsula since 1953.
Make a stop at Unification Village, located near the DMZ in South Korea. Browse a range of souvenirs and items symbolizing peace and reconciliation — and sometimes, even products from North Korea. Choose the perfect mementos or snacks before heading back to Seoul.

2. DMZ Tour & Gamaksan Suspension Bridge: Tuesdays to Sundays
This itinerary includes the complete DMZ tour along with an additional stop at the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge, the site of a heroic battle fought by British troops during the Korean War.

3. DMZ Tour(2nd Tunnel): Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays
The 2nd Tunnel Tour includes visits to the 2nd Tunnel, Cheorwon Peace Observatory, Woljeong-ri Station, and the Migratory Bird Sanctuary. Lunchtime (at your own expense) is provided in the area near the 2nd Tunnel. From April to November, you can explore the Hantan River Cliffside Path, while from December to February, the Hantan River Water Road is available. The final destination of the tour is the former Korean Workers' Party Headquarters.

4. Aegibong Observatory Tour: Except on Saturdays
Visit the unique Starbucks located within Aegibong Peace Ecopark and the Jogang Observatory, situated in the Civilian Control Zone closest to the DMZ. From the observatory, you can view North Korea, which lies just 1.4 kilometers away.
Aegibong holds historical significance as a site frequently visited by displaced individuals. Following the Korean War, many people who had been separated from their hometowns came to Aegibong in hopes of catching a distant view of their native land. In recent years, the site has also gained popularity for its Starbucks café, uniquely situated within the observatory.
The original observatory, constructed in 1978, was later demolished and replaced with a modern facility. The newly built structure, now known as Jogang Observatory, offers one of the closest vantage points from which to observe North Korean territory.

This tour is something that shouldn’t be missed! Kenny was a great tour guide, he was very informative, clear and genuine, and kept the energy up throughout the day, making it an overall great experience. The tour itself includes the key spots in and around the DMZ, which are all explained in detail as you go through. The Gamaksan Bridge was also great to see, and definitely a highlight!
