Itinerary
After pickup at your Seoul hotel in the morning or afternoon, drive to the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). En route, your guide shares expert commentary on the dividing line between North and South Korea. Get out at Imjingak Park along the banks of Imjin River to see artillery and war artifacts that were used during the Korean conflict before proceeding to Freedom bridge, where nearly 13,000 Korean POWs crossed on their return back home to South Korea. Reboard the coach and head to the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, located beneath the border of North Korea and South Korea. See where the South Koreans have blocked the actual Military Demarcation Line with concrete barricades, and browse photographs and war artifacts at the DMZ exhibition hall. Your next stop is Dora Observatory, where you can use binoculars to get a glimpse of North Korea. Listen to your guide explain daily life in the village of Kijongdong across the river. Continue by coach to Dorasan Station, a historic spot that not only marks the division, but also serves as a gateway for exchanges between the north and south. Pass by the Unification Village, a small farming community that specialized in creating soybean milk, traditional soy sauce and corn goods.

Our Guide Song was very knowledgable about the DMZ. She took my daughter and I on a personal tour. She narrated information in a very intellectual way. She got our tickets at the boarder and showed though the sights at the DMZ. She was kind and considerate, providing water, binoculars to view the important sights, taking pictures of my daughter and I, and providing bug spray in the forest areas. She showed us where we were ablw to take pictures-and not. She took us to a delicious Korean BBQ lunch. The car was immaculate. She imparted a very personal view of the relationship between South and North Korea. We really enjoyed hearing all about the sights in English-we don't speak Korean-and got more out of the tour than visiting solo or in a group. I highly recommend her a guide, 10/10 experience.
