Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of this unique region, as you visit significant landmarks and gain a deeper understanding of the division between North and South Korea.
Begin your journey with a comfortable pick-up from your Seoul accommodation and travel to the first stop on our tour, the Cheorwon DMZ.

Learn about the history of the war and the ongoing tensions between the two Koreas from our knowledgeable and experienced tour guide.
Next, we'll take you to Paju, another important location along the DMZ. Explore the Third Tunnel, a secret underground passage dug by North Korea, which was discovered in 1978. Descend into the tunnel and witness firsthand the impressive engineering skills employed by the North Koreans. You'll also visit the Dora Observatory, where you can peer through binoculars and catch a glimpse of the North Korean city of Gaeseong.
Our tour then takes you to Gimpo, a city known for its strategic location during the Korean War.

Gain insight into the lives of those living near the DMZ and hear stories of their resilience and hope for reunification.
No visit to the DMZ would be complete without a visit to the Joint Security Area (JSA) at Panmunjom. This is the only place where visitors can step foot into North Korea, as you stand on the border line and have the opportunity to enter one of the negotiation rooms. Witness the iconic blue buildings and the soldiers from both sides standing face-to-face, creating a surreal atmosphere that highlights the ongoing tension between the two countries.
