Your Experience

Exploring History & Hope: A Journey through the DMZ

Embark on an 8-hour guided tour from Seoul of the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Guided by an expert English-speaking guide, you'll first visit Imjingak Park, a stark blend of amusement rides and barbed wire fences, that encapsulate the dreams and despair of a divided nation. As you navigate the park, keep an eye out for the Freedom Bridge and the bullet-riddled smokestack, residues of the Korean War.

Your adventure continues with an entrance into the DMZ itself – a restricted area bursting with history and tension. Explore the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, a clandestine invasion route by North Korea that could facilitate the passage of thirty thousand soldiers in an hour. While this tunnel symbolizes the ambitions of a divided Korea, it also ironically hosts a flourishing ecosystem due to human absence, making it an unexpected natural sanctuary.

Unveiling Secrets: Beyond the DMZ

The Dora Observatory awaits next, offering unparalleled views of North Korea, the outskirts of Gaeseong City, and the uncanny "Propaganda Village," an artificial settlement crafted to mimic activity. The tour provides various ticket options, including an opportunity to hear firsthand experiences from a North Korean defector or a guided tour of Gyeongbok Palace – once the heart of Korea. Conclude Your journey of discovery concludes with a return to Seoul.
