Full description

Choose options of pickup, private tour, or meet your guide before traveling together to the DMZ. See Freedom Bridge, Mangbaedan Altar, and a historical steam locomotive. Travel to a tunnel dug by North Korea, see observatories and visit the unification villages in the DMZ.

Move to Imjingak and drop by 3 stops - Freedom Bridge, Mangbaedan Altar, and a steam locomotive that was destroyed during the Korean war. Board a bus with your guide (or group) and continue on to the DMZ.

Visit three different places within the DMZ. First, arrive at The 3rd Infiltration Tunnel by walking (or monorail if private option is selected) and see a tunnel dug by North Koreans to invade South Korea. Next, explore Dorasan Observatory, the northernmost observatory of North Korean territory. And then visit Unfication village

Enjoy a visit to the Mt. Gamaksan suspension bridge if you select that option. Gamaksan Suspension bridge is where the allied forces fought a fierce battle in the Korean War. Take a 15 to 20-minute hike and marvel at the stunning natural beauty at the top of the bridge.

Choose the Majang Bridge option and get to visit the Majang Suspension Bridge at beautiful Majang lake which was the scene of a battle in the Korean War. It has now been turned into a scenic destination with the one of the longest suspension bridge in South Korea, where you can walk the 256-meter bridge.

Amazing experience overall to do once in a life! The indications of meeting point were precise and pick up time was in perfect timing. We visited many things such as the suspension bridge (my preference was the lake one, but due to weather condition I’ve been recommended that Gamaksan was best because it was raining). After that we led to imjingak park where we saw the altar, train had lunch and some free time where you can get cable car for around 8/10 thousand won and an amazing park to see. Free Time is very strict to do all tho. Then we arrived directly into the DMZ and checked the third tunnel and the surrounded area. After that our last two steps were Dora observatory and unification city (even if this last one was just to basically buy souvenirs). I definitely recommend this tour because Kim, our guide, was so friendly, competent and made the whole trip very comfortable and pleasant! Total of experience: departure at 7.30am and came back at around 4.30 pm. Thanks Kim!
