Overview

What is the DMZ – an exciting experience like no other

While the Cold War happened a long time ago, Korea is the only country that still remains divided as a consequence. The DMZ lies on the border between the North and the South. This is the most heavily fortified border in the whole world, so don’t miss the chance to see it! You should expect a truly immersive and unforgettable trip on all our DMZ tours!

What to expect – kickstart your trip with our seamless itinerary

Your experience while visiting the DMZ depends mainly on the quality of your tour guide. The only way to truly understand the impact of the DMZ is to visit with a very knowledgeable guide.

Besides the historical evidence of the war, there is a whole dimension of emotion to experience. Our professional tour guides are here to help you gain that more profound insight during our DMZ Tour.

Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park

This stop sets a poignant tone for your Korean Demilitarized Zone tour.
The Third Tunnel
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
A stop not to be missed on our itinerary is the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel. Located 12 kilometers from Munsan and 52 from Seoul, the tunnel was discovered in 1978. Its purpose was to be used to invade the South. At 1,635 meters long, 2 meters high, and 2 wide, the tunnel can move an entire division per hour! The curious fact here is that when the tunnel was discovered, North Korea alleged that the South had built it for a surprise attack, but evidence points to the contrary. Walking through will feel like you’ve stepped back in time! Explore its chilling history and feel the weight of the past on this must-visit stop of our group DMZ tour from Seoul.
Bridge of Freedom

Walk the historic Bridge of Freedom, used by 12,773 prisoners of war to cross the Imjin River and return home to South Korea in 1953. This emotionally charged site offers a tangible connection to the Korean War’s human stories. Capture the moment against a stunning natural backdrop, making it a highlight of your DMZ Tour in Korea.

Peer into North Korea from Dora Observatory, rebuilt in 2018 for unparalleled and uninhibited views.

This traveler-favorite stop offers a rare glimpse across the border, making it the pinnacle of your DMZ tour from Seoul.
Gamaksan Chulleong Bridge
  • 1h

(Optional) End your Korea DMZ tour with a thrill by crossing Gamaksan Red Suspension Bridge, South Korea’s wobbliest towerless suspension bridge.

Be prepared to capture stunning photos, leaving your friends and family in awe. Travelers who have visited before rave about the picturesque beauty of the bridge, calling it a highlight of their trip and a view to remember.

As you bounce along its lively sway, you'll catch breathtaking, mirror-like views of sparkling water and lush greenery. Dare to look down through the bulletproof glass section, and your heart will race with delight!
