This is the third infiltration tunnel North Koreans made in order to send their soldiers directly to South Korea for the invasion. If South Korea couldnot find this tunnel before they complete building the tunnel, they could directly send 30,000 soldiers to South Korea in 1 hour. You will feel how much they were so eager to attack Sounth Korea while you walk inside the tunnel
In this observatory, you will see what are in DMZ area, and how it looks like beyond, all the way up to Geaseong city which is the closest North Korean city from the boarder.

If you're lucky enough to get Gwany ("John") as your guide, you've hit the jackpot! We did both the DMZ tour and the Seoul city tour with him, and they were the absolute highlights of our trip. The places we visited are an absolute must-see, and the entire itinerary was incredibly well organised from start to finish. John's English is excellent, he was fantastic with our 17-year-old and 10-year-old, and he kept everyone entertained all day. He went above and beyond throughout the tours. He happily adjusted the itinerary to suit what we wanted to do, organised an amazing Korean beef bulgogi lunch for us, and even conquered his fear of heights to walk across the Mt. Gamak Suspension Bridge with us! That's dedication! He was fun, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and shared so much about Korea's history and culture. More than anything, he made us feel genuinely welcome. If you're looking for a guide who feels more like a local friend than just a tour guide, ask for John. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would book him again in a heartbeat. Five stars simply isn't enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for leaving a wonderful review for John!! I am so glad that you had a great time with him!! :-)

Our tour guide John was great from the hotel pick up to the return. He was very friendly, knew a lot about the history and gave us a lot of advice. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and John made it even better.
Thank you for leaving a wonderful review for him!! I wish you all the best!! :-)
We had a great day with our guide John who was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we were looked after all day. A memorable experience and highly recommended!
Thank you for writing a wonderful review for John!! I am so glad you had a wonderful time with him!!
Andrew was a great tour guide. We went in a group of 11 and he was friendly, thoughtful and accomodating. He provided an insightful background to the history of the DMZ in fluent English and told us touching stories along the way, one which made my wife and I teary-eyed. He rushed us along at times when needed to keep us on time and also gave us options to choose from as our group wanted to change plans with the change in weather. We always felt safe and looked after. Thanks Andrew!
Thank you for leaving a wonderful review for Andrew!! I am so glad that you had a wonderful day with him!! :-)
Our group of 11 had a wonderful time with Andrew as our private tour guide. He was super accommodating and booked a very clean & comfortable van for our transport. He is a wealth of information in regards to Korean history & culture. Our itinerary initially included a suspension bridge but due to the wet weather we were concerned about the safety of doing this and he gave us three alternative options to choose from. We ended up going to the National Museum of Korea which is a beautiful building & housed many treasures (didn’t get to fully explore it but it had several exhibits to explore). He also gave us several options for lunch & we ended up having a very yummy traditional Korean meal. I would recommend his services to anyone wanting to do a DMZ or other themed tour in Korea with him. 😀
Thank you for leaving a wonderful review for Andrew!! I am so glad that you had a wonderful day with him!! Also thank you for mentioning the wonderful van as well!! Actually that vehicle was one of our secret specialties that distinguish the service from other agencies. :-)
Tour Guide Andrew delivers an experience that feels truly memorable. Thoughtful, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable, he knows exactly how to tailor the tour with just the right balance of storytelling and detail. Our DMZ tour in Korea was unforgettable thanks to his expertise and his unique way of bringing history to life. With his large tablet on hand, Andrew seamlessly enriches the experience by showing historical photos, videos, and insider insights you won’t find in a typical guidebook. He doesn’t just guide you—he immerses you in the story, making every stop more meaningful and memorable.
Thank you for leaving a wonderful review for Andrew!! I am so glad that you had a wonderful day with him!! Also thank you so much for pointing out what was good about him!! I knew he was great, but I didn't actually know that he has developed his expertise as much as I can feel from your review!!
Andrew took our group of 11 friends to the DMZ and a traditional tofu lunch. Due to rain, we couldn’t go to the suspension bridge as originally planned, but he provided us with many alternative options and we ended up going to the National Museum of Korea and had a great time. Andrew was punctual, organized, friendly, and we learned so much about Korean history.
Thank you for leaving a wonderful review for Andrew!! I am so glad that you had a wonderful day with him!! Also thank you so much for pointing out what was good about him!! I am sure it will be a great reference for the future potential tourists!!
Maeri was an amazing tour guide! She’s wonderful and knowledgeable. The DMZ Tour was such a great experience with history and insights. Highly recommend!

This was a private tour for only my family of 4. It was so convenient and our guide Maeri was so easy going and friendly. I would recommend doing a private tour.
Thank you for leaving a wonderful review for Maeri!! I am glad she was so nice to you!! I knew she was good, but now I can trust her even more thanks to you!! :-)
