Very well organized with a great tour guide Lily! Infiltration Tunnel and interview with Korean defector were the best. The schedule was tight, but you could see all interesting places. Suspension bridge is also a highlight. I highly recommend the full tour.

Very interesting tour. In particular our guide Cindy was excellent. She is very knowledgeable and provided a lot of history in background information. Also the interview with the lady who escaped from North Korea few years ago was very interesting.

Guide Charles made it very good and we learned a lot about history and people. Well organized. Maybe the visit of the "Northkorean House", a warehouse with souvenir shop, and story telling lady, isn't necessary.

Go for a half-day tour with an English-speaking guide to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer zone separating North and South Korea with easy round-trip transfers from Seoul.

Discover the history of the Korean War at Imjingak Park. See the bullet-riddled Freedom Bridge, where 12,773 POWs walked to freedom.

Venture into the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, dug by North Korea and discovered in 1978. Visit Dora Observatory, and see North Korea's 160m flagpole in Kijong-dong, nicknamed "Propaganda Village”.

Stop by the Unification Village, a small farming community that specializes in creating soybean milk, traditional soy sauce, and corn goods.

Want to explore more? Take a Gondola ride over the Imjingang River for a closer look at North Korea.
