Organizacja i nasz przewodnik Eden byli doskonali. Niezależnie od tego, czy był to odbiór z hotelu, czy wyjaśnienia dotyczące sytuacji w DMZ. Polecam, biorąc pod uwagę, że nasza wycieczka rozpoczęła się o 10 rano i zakończyła o 5 po południu.

I got picked up at the hotel in a very comfortable car that drive me to the met up point. The bus was very comfortable and air-conditioned. Our guide was Katie, she had a good energy and you can tell she loves her job. She gives a lot of information about the conflict between the south and the noth and many other interesting facts. She vas very helpful if there was questions or if you need help with somthing. The tour in conclusion was one of the best i have been too, it was really awesome! /Jonas

Loved the tour. It was good weather so could eqsily see south and north parts and JSA. Shame 3rd floor observation was closed due to tension. But on the other hand heard South Korea loudspeakers playing K-pop for North Korea - bonus. Hopefully one day Korea will reunite. Our guide Spring was awesome in guiding us through the tour.

Our tour guide, Spring, was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting and fun. My 13 year old daughter was engaged and became really interested in the history of the DMZ. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Your experience

Ever wondered what it's like to stand at the edge of the world's most heavily fortified border? This tour takes you deep into the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer zone separating North and South Korea, for a look at history frozen in time.

Echoes of War and Whispers of Hope

Your first stop is Imjingak Park, a place where the weight of history hangs heavy. Here, you'll see the bullet-scarred Freedom Bridge, a poignant reminder of the 1000s of prisoners of war who walked to freedom across its span in 1953.

Next, venture 73 meters underground into the Third Infiltration Tunnel. This secret passage, stretching over 1.6 km long, was discovered in 1978 and stands as a testament to the ongoing tensions between the two Koreas.

Head to the Dora Observatory, where you can peer across the border using powerful telescopes. You'll see Kijong-dong, a surreal "Propaganda Village" in North Korea, complete with a massive 160-meter flagpole and meticulously crafted facades hiding empty buildings.

Stop at the Unification Village, a unique farming community located within the DMZ. Here, you can shop for intriguing souvenirs like North Korean liquor and DMZ memorabilia, knowing that your purchases contribute to a good cause – the education of North Korean defectors
