Small Group DMZ Spy Tour Including 3rd Tunnel

About this activity
DMZ is very popular tourist destination for foreign tourists visiting Korea for its uniqueness and, as such, we are happy to invite you to our more intriguing, comfortable and DMZ-expert guided Very Small Group DMZ Tour Program, which goes as far as DMZ 3rd Tunnel.

In the morning, grab your passport and get in a comfortable vehicle that takes you to Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that has divided North and South Korea since the Korean War. Visit the site, where N Korean spy commandos were first fought with Korean and US combined Special Forces. This site is just 1 km away from the Blue House, S Korean Presidential residence.

En route, your expert guide offers you stories and explanations about this unprecedented assassination attempt and continuing conflicts and tensions between two Koreas. After a stop at Imjingak Peace Park to hand on war artifacts, artillery, military bunker and first battle field and then head to S Korean artillery base for a glimpse of the wartime weapons. 

Next, you go inside the DMZ S Korean military camp, where 31 North Korean spy commandos destroyed and infiltrated the fortified border fence in 1968. Then, confront DMZ field itself unfolding in front of you and then walk up along DMZ barbed wire fence line together with S Korean DMZ soldiers as if you are also patrolling DMZ. You smell and touch the real DMZ just a step away. From here, you watch N Korean DMZ military post a mile away. Entry is on the invitation basis and we are pleased to invite you here on behalf of S Korean government. 

Then you will be invited to a border-neighbored restaurant, which cooks and serves well a North Korean–style lunch of barbecued duck (vegetarian meals to be arranged upon request). 

After lunch, you visit 3rd Infiltration Tunnel to experience the evidence of N Korea’s unrealized ambition to invade S Korea in 1978. It was designed and dug to invade S Korea stealthily underground. This steep tunnel is 1635 m long and 2 m wide and designed to move about 30,000 soldiers an hour to S Korea. Also stop at Dora Observatory to catch a glimpse of N Korean propaganda village and see as far as Kaesong city in N Korean territory.

On the way back, you go up to Odusan observation point, where you see a N Korean village just across the river border, while your guide explains the state of N Korean farmers’ life. 

Our professional guides who served for Korean and US army in DMZ area are so knowledgeable and informative not only on DMZ but also on Korean War and beyond. You could touch upon the past and future of this divided country in terms of politics, history and reunification prospect with them.

This tour has been highly appreciated by our clients and also awarded by Seoul Metropolitan City and the state-run Korean Tour Organization (KTO). Please type “DMZ SPY” in TripAdvisor or Viator to search various reviews left by our past clients.

Thanks a lot to Minho for this great tour! It was fantastic and we learnt a lot on Korean War Drama. Also kids were passionated ! After a stop in Odusan Unification Observatory where we observed North Korean villages, had an excellent overview by Minho of the Korean war and where our children took the Seoul-Pyongyang-Paris express train we went to the DMZ ! We were really closed to the DMZ and we spent time in military base walking with soldiers just near the border !!!! They explained us the DMZ and how it is not demilitarized any more Also we enjoyed wearing military clothes and Kids were proud of their Diploma! After a very nice Korean Barbecue, we went to the Dora observatory to see the industrial complex in North country , villages and North Korea flag, then we visited the 3rd tunnel built by North Korea and discovered in the 70s . Very impressive ! Minho is a very experimented guide, knows everything on DMZ and also on top of the tour itself answered all questions we had on Korea. We definitively recommend him ! We wont hesitate to recontact him next time . Thanks also to our driver ! Looking forward to seeing you again Minho ! Emmanuel, Corinne, Nathan and Morgane
