Overview
About
DMZ tour with hotel pick-up and drop-off, featuring a tunnel and observation deck, accompanied by a private guide.
What you'll do
The Korean War came to an end on July 27, 1953, after the signing of the armistice agreement. Since then, a buffer zone, known as the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), has been established to prevent any kind of conflict from occurring.
This tour allows you to understand what happened after the Korean War, from the 1950s to the present day.
Please note that this is a DMZ tour, not a Joint Security Area (JSA) tour. The JSA is the specific area where the armistice was signed and where the president of the USA went to shake his hand with the Leader of North Korea in 2019.
Please bring your passport, as we will be entering a military zone. We hope to meet you all.
