Itinerary

600 min

8:10 Pick up at Hotel(Pick up time will depend on the Hotels, In Seoul) Imjingak Park Imjingak, located 7 km from the Military Demarcation Line, is now at the forefront of tourism related to the Korean War. It was built in 1972 with the hope for the unification. The Unification Bridge The bridge is more like a symbolic one built back in 1998, wishing unification between South and North Korea. It was built by Hyundai Business Group of South Korea. The bridge is over a river named Imjingang, coming down from North Korea. The bridge has a nickname of “Cow Bridge”.  ID Check Over the window, you can see soldiers wearing a green color camouflage uniform. They are South Korean soldiers currently serving their mandatory military service for 21 months. All men in South Korea have to serve the military mandatory for the period.  DMZ theather & Exhibition hall It’s a unique museum within the civilian restricted zone. It was officially opened on 08, 14, 2009. The DMZ Showroom displays leaflets used during the 6.25 Korean Civil War, military letters, bayonets, empty cartridges, pottery found in DMZ, taxidermied birds and etc. DMZ Video Room features three-dimensional moving pictures. By watching them, you will get to understand how Korea was divided. The 3rd Infiltration Tunnel The highlight of the DMZ tour is to explore a tunnel dug by North Korea. Since 1974, South Army has discovered four tunnels crossing the MDL. The tunnels were made for military invasion toward South Korea. Each tunnel is large enough to enable the passage of thirty thousand soldiers in an hour. The 3rd tunnel was discovered in 1978 that penetrated into South Korea by 435 meters beyond the ceasefire line. You are going to hear how the tunnel was discovered with more detailed information. Dora Observatory Dora Observatory, or OP Dora is the northern most observation post just facing North Korea. From the observation platform, North Korean is within your eyesight, and so are the outskirts of Gaeseong City, the 3rd largest city of North Korea. Dorasan Station A sign in the station reads, “Not the last station from the South, But the first station toward the North.” For now, it is the northernmost station of South Korea which is only 700m, or a half mile away from the southern boundary of DMZ. Driving Tour [NLL View] The Northern Limit Line (NLL) is a disputed maritime demarcation line in the Yellow (West) Sea between the North and the South of Korea. This line of military control acts as de facto maritime boundary between the Koreas 18:00 Drop-off at Hotel(Drop-off time will be changed depending on Hotels, in Seoul)

Great day at the DMZ

Han and Alina were great. It was a long day, but I enjoyed myself. The third floor at Dora Observatory is open, but still no photography across the border. Hopefully, as the tension calms, that will change soon!

Most amazing tour ever !

Both the guides SP Hong for DMZ tour and Lina for NLL tour were amazing! Very knowledgeable and funny, making the whole trip very enjoyable! SP shared about the strategic locations of Gaesong factory, JSA etc and even brought binoculars so that everyone could try to take a glimpse of these areas. Lunch at the unification village couldn't have been better! It's my 1st try at Korean canteen buffet style food and the taste was great!! On the way to Ganghwa, I got the chance to get closer to the coast line and demarcation fences. The neighbourhoods on the journey to Ganghwa are very different from the Korea I saw. Ganghwa observatory is quieter (mostly locals), I could see North Korean houses and farmers working in the fields and that was a really undescribable experience. Lina shared interesting stories like how North Korean whisky are made with recipes from defectors and even about older generation Koreans who may still have relatives back in the north. I even got to keep a checkpoint check slip as a momento! Would definitely recommend this tour!! No doubt it's a long journey but definitely worth it!

Dear Customer, Thank you so much for your incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear that both SP Hong and Lina made your DMZ and NLL tours such enjoyable, insightful, and meaningful experiences. SP’s attention to detail — from sharing strategic insights to providing binoculars — truly adds depth to the tour, and we’re so happy you enjoyed your first Korean canteen-style lunch at the Unification Village! It’s also wonderful to hear how much you appreciated the unique atmosphere of Ganghwa and Lina’s thoughtful storytelling. Being able to see North Korean villages from the observatory and learning about personal connections to the past is truly something special. We’re honored to have been part of your journey and hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future!

Do DMZ and NLL

Highly recommending combination DMZ and NLL tour than doing just DMZ alone! It is like having a land and sea view of the gap in SK and NK. Both our guides Han in DMZ and Min Su in NLL are amazing and always went out of their way to make you comfortable.

Harry Smith & Family Tour of DMZ, Palaces, food and shopping with Mr. SP Hong

Mr SP Hong conducted a most fascinating and informative tour. He provided cultural and historical insights. He provided a much more detailed understanding to the history both economic and political aspects of Korea. I very much enjoyed his tour as did my wife and two children ages 17 and 29. I will always remember Mr SP Hong, his tour and hope to return one day in the not too distant future and take another of his tours. I told many co-workers, friends and family about his tour and recommend Mr SP Hong's tour to them.
