Stop At: DMZ, Munsan-eup, Majeong-ri Imjingak Tourist information center, Paju, Gyeonggi-do South Korea

You will be picked up at your hotel in Central Seoul or subway station then taken to Imjingak Park.

Once you arrive at the park, you can see the Freedom Bridge and an old steam train that shows the extremity of the tragedy that was the Korean War at Imjingak Park.

Then, the DMZ bus will head to the 3rd Tunnel that North Korean Army built to infiltrate South Korea in 1970s. You will walk down to the tunnel (about 500m, round trip) wearing a safety helmet. After coming out of tunnel, you will have some time to look around the DMZ Exhibition Hall which shows the Korean War, old weapons and Korea's history.

After the Exhibition Hall, you will head to Mt Dora to see North Korea from the Observatory. There are many telescopes to look at North Korea’s propaganda village.

Then you will move to Dorasan Station, the last station before entering North Korea from South Korea. You can get a stamp that resembles the immigration desk in the airport, as a souvenir (You will not be entering North Korea).

 

On the way back to Imjingak Park, your vehicle will pass by the Unification Village before heading back to Seoul.

Once you return to Seoul, you will stop-by a Korean Ginseng Center (skip if you choose "without shopping tour" option).

Our tour guide, Sadie made this tour excellent. She was so knowledgeable and could answer any question you asked. Time management was great and we got to see everything without feeling like we were being rushed. Overall, a fantastic experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with our professional guide named Sadie. She explained very well the history of the Korea war and took good care of everyone. The visit per location was very time constraint though...

This tour was great and I enjoyed myself. Somehow our tour guide left out a few of the stops that I was very excited to see. When I mentioned it, he didnt know anything about it. I was very disappointment but the company refunded 2/3 of my tour cost right away so I was very happy about that.

Tour guide Brian did a really good job. The JIA tour I wanted was fully booked so this was a last minute alternative. The tunnel was a bit tough to walk in given my 6'4 frame and at times the tunnel would be under 6' high. The highlight was the War Memorial. I could actually spend a whole day in there.
