Choose 1: Gyeongbokgung Palace Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is also commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeonghuigung (Western Palace) Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces. The premises were once destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (Japanese Invasions, 1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong (1852-1919). Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond have remained relatively intact. Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculptures of contemporary art. The National Palace Museum of Korea is located south of Heungnyemun Gate, and the National Folk Museum is located on the eastern side within Hyangwonjeong.

Outstanding DMZ Tour with Christine and Young

Our DMZ tour was one of the absolute highlights of our visit to South Korea. Christine and her husband, Young, were exceptional guides who made the experience both fascinating and unforgettable. Christine was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Korean history. She explained the complex history of the Korean Peninsula in a way that was easy to understand, providing valuable historical context while sharing personal insights that brought everything to life. Young complemented the tour perfectly, ensuring everything ran smoothly and making everyone feel comfortable throughout the day. The itinerary was well organized, with excellent pacing and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and take photos. Visiting the DMZ is a unique and emotional experience, and Christine and Young's professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made it even more meaningful. We left with a much deeper understanding of Korea's history and current situation. If you're looking for an informative, well-organized, and memorable DMZ tour, I highly recommend booking with Christine and Young. Thank you both for an incredible day!

Great experience

Visiting the DMZ zone was a fantastic experience. The tunnel 3 visit was a bit of a challenge but was well worth the visit. We had great visibility at Dora and saw propaganda village, freedom village, the joint security area and Daeseong-Dong, Panmunjom (truce village) and the mountains in north korea. The Gloucester Heroes bridge was in a beautiful natural area. Jun was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable about the history. I fully recommend this tour to anyone who visits Korea.

The Best DMZ in South Korea (American Prospective)

Jun is the BEST tour Guide in South Korea! He was early to the pickup and extremely professional and helpful throughout the day. He did a great job of knowing the details and dates of events when exploring each part of the tour. He has excellent English and does a good job of processing and explaining information! I wish I could have him on every tour. If you have a chance to select this business, it will be wise to request Jun!
