- DMZ - Before entering the DMZ area and undergoing an ID check, we will visit the Bridge of Freedom and Mangbaedan Altar, both significant historical sites from the Korean War.
- The Third Tunnel - ■DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) The 3rd Invasion Tunnel. This walking course takes you into the tunnel. Step into the 3rd tunnel, a thrilling passage that is approximately 1.95 meters high, 2.1 meters wide, and 1,635 meters long. It was considered more threatening as an invasion route than the 1st and 2nd Tunnels.
- Dora Observatory - This is the northernmost point of the western front, offering a view of the Gaeseong Industrial Complex and Songhaksan Mountain. Get a real look at North Korean territory!
- Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park - This beautiful park was built to symbolize the hope for reunification and peace on the Korean Peninsula.
- Gamaksan Chulleong Bridge - [Option 2] This is the first stop on your short hiking course, requiring a 15-minute walk uphill. It is one of Korea’s longest suspension bridges at 150 meters and was a fierce battlefield during the Korean War. After a short hike to the top, you’ll reach a great viewpoint on Gamaksan Mountain.
- Majang Reservoir Suspension Bridge - [Option 3] Lake Majang Bridge. This site saw intense battles during the Korean War, with many Allied soldiers sacrificing their lives. In April 1951, a fierce battle took place to establish a defense line (Delta Defense Line) to protect Seoul from the Communist Army. In May 1951, there was a battle to advance the Kansas Line.
- Imjin River - [Option 4] Enjoy a boat riding adventure on the Imjin River, which flows from North Korea to South Korea. Access to this river was forbidden for the last 50 years following the Korean War.

Worthwhile DMZ tour - An incredible DMZ tour with our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide Cindy. Highlights were the observatory and the tunnel in the DMZ.
Lots of information about the war & history to take in, so we visited the War Museum in Seoul the day before to brush up on the history. Worth doing.
Plenty of opportunities to buy coffee, snacks, toilet breaks and great all you can eat lunch.

Great experience - Cindy was a great tour guide! She made sure that we were usually the first ones there at each stop so we didn't have to share the space with too many people. Excellent tour!

Jam packed value for half day DMZ tour with Joey! - I’m so glad I decided to sign up for the half-day DMZ tour. Our guide Joey combined her knowledge, experience and humor to make it an unforgettable (and safe) experience. I got to see the emotional Freedom Bridge where separated families were (sometimes) reunited, Observation Deck within the DMZ where Joey pointed out the important landmarks and also brought binoculars to share, the 3rd incursion Tunnel (get ready for a quad workout) and finally the unification village together with the farmers market. The DMZ is somewhat of a more serious toned adventure, as reminded by the “no-pictures” rule at the soldier checkpoint (they board your bus and check your passports), the observation deck and the 3rd tunnel where we were required to put phones and belongings in lockers. As we learned, the Korean War never officially ended and both sides and the UN have heavy military installations approaching and within the DMZ. At no point, however, did I ever feel unsafe as it is a heavily trafficked touristy area.
At each stop, we had bathroom breaks and food/drink options so you don’t necessarily have to pack any lunch. In any event, we were back in Seoul before 1:30pm. Highly recommend!

Amazing DMZ Tour with John our guide - We had an incredible experience on our DMZ tour in South Korea, thanks to our amazing guide, John. He was very informative, sharing detailed historical and cultural insights throughout the tour. His friendly and polite demeanor made us feel welcome and comfortable the entire time.
Our itinerary included exploring the fascinating tunnel, enjoying a delicious Korean buffet, and walking across the suspension bridge – all of which were well-organized and thoroughly enjoyable. John’s guidance truly enriched every part of the experience.
We highly recommend John to anyone planning a DMZ tour. His knowledge and professionalism made our day unforgettable. Thank you, John, for making this tour so memorable for me and my boyfriend!
