Had an amazing time as a part of Julie's team! She really gave insightful information on the history of Korea. She was fun and supportive. Very sad I was only able to go on one tour with her before I left Korea. I hope next time I am back in Seoul, I can tour with her again! Thankyou Julie!!!

Shadows of conflict, glimmers of unity
Guide? Set. Round-trip transfers? Also, set.
Begin at Imjingak Park, where the weight of the past is palpable. Witness the Freedom Bridge, its bullet-scarred surface a testament to the courageous prisoners of war who crossed it to liberty in 1953.
Descend 73 meters into the depths of the Third Infiltration Tunnel, a 1.6 km long secret passage discovered in 1978. This subterranean marvel serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions that divide the Korean peninsula.
What's that Dora?
At the Dora Observatory, powerful telescopes await, offering a glimpse into the surreal world of Kijong-dong, North Korea's "Propaganda Village." Spot the towering 160-meter flagpole and the meticulously crafted facades that conceal empty buildings.
Finally, visit the Unification Village, a unique farming community thriving within the DMZ. Here, you can acquire fascinating mementos like North Korean liquor and DMZ-themed souvenirs, knowing that your purchases support a noble cause – the education of North Korean defectors.
