Learn about Korea’s divided history at the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on a half-day tour, led by an informative guide. In the morning or afternoon, travel from Seoul to the DMZ, where the country has been split since the Korean War, to visit fascinating sites such as Imjingak Park, the Freedom bridge, the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel and the DMZ exhibition hall. At Dora Observatory, you can even peer through binoculars to observe village life in North Korea. U

This half day trip went from pickup at 9:10 am til drop off at 5:15 approximate. Grace was our tour guide and she was very informative. We got a great capsule history lesson as we got started and a bit more history along the way between stops and Informative history pertaining to the next stop. We were also informed of upcoming food and restroom opportunities. The history between North and South Korea is sad and I learned more about the other countries involved in their history of conflict. We were in and around the DMZ most of the trip and stopped at the market just outside the S Korean village in the DMZ where we could try soybean ice cream and purchase some food and snacks for souvenirs. Many opportunities to grab a coffee, snack, lunch and souvenirs.
Walking into and through the 3rd tunnel from N Korea discovered by SK was an interesting opportunity highlighting the continuing efforts by N Korea to reclaim S Korea.
Grace was responsive to questions as well.
The only negative is that I could have used a bit more time at a few of the stops to look around at the many things to see and read. Would definitely do this again with other family members.

This was an informative, interesting tour. Our guide Chloe was excellent. Even though there were many other bus loads of visitors, everything ran very smoothly.

Going to the DMZ is a must for visitors to South Korea! I'm giving 3 stars because the tour guide offered us an earlier admission bus by transferring to a different bus. When asked what we would be missing to do so, the tour guide said we would be missing nothing. For that reason we said yes. Well, I was really looking forward to visiting the freedom bridge which is a reason I booked this specific tour as that was part of the tour agenda. It turns out we never got to go to the freedom bridge because we transferred to the earlier bus. I'm extremely disappointed that we were misled. Had the tour guide told us we would be missing the opportunity to visit the freedom bridge by transferring buses, we would have stayed put. Their communication was wrong and that resulted in us missing a highlight of the tour.

My family are English speakers and the guide was very difficult to understand. Because of this, we missed a lot of the information and history that was given.

Katie was excellent! The pickup was easy, the bus size was pretty small so we didn't have a large group, which made moving around quick and efficient. She gave us great history of the countries and we saw many important sites/areas. She went above and beyond at all times to ensure everyone was having a good time, getting the photos they needed and safe. This was an amazing tour and I'm glad we were able to go, and that we chose this one.

This tour was way above our expectations! We were greeted personally and cheerfully by our special tour guide "Joey" who immediately made us feel welcomed and warmly embraced with Korean hospitality. Her expert guidance and experience kept us moving physically, emotionally, and educationally as we made our way to the different stops. The most memorable experience was the journey through one of the infiltration tunnels. Not sure if it was in the fine print or we just missed it in the instructions, but good walking/hiking shoes are a must to participate in this stop!

I think that the half day tour was perfect for our family. Our tour guide, Mr. “Cool” Park provided a good amount of historical background for each of the locations we visited mixed with funny/tragic anecdotes. I highly recommend getting him as a tour guide since he was able to keep our family (15 of us in total, age range from 10-81 years old) engaged.
