The area was established on July 27, 1953 when the Armistice Agreement was signed during the Korean War, and includes the 2km-wide stretch of land both north and south of the line. Dorasan station, a railway station on the Gyeongui Line, is the northernmost stop on South Korea's railway line. Located 56 km from Seoul and 205 km from Pyeongyang/Dora Observatory Situated in Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do and at the northernmost point of the Military Demarcation Line, Dora Observatory replaced the previous Songaksan Observation Post. From the observatory, visitors can overlook North Korea and various locations including Gaeseong, Songaksan, Kim Il-Sung Statue, and Cooperation Farm (Geumamgol)/The 3rd Tunnel was discovered in 1978 by South Korean forces.It is estimated that approximately 30,000 soldiers could move through the tunnel Unification Village *Closed - Mondays & Public holidays (Excluding weekends, Seollal/Chuseok)

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.

Jun was very professional. He took great care of our family and had a wealth of knowledge about the areas we visited. Jun collected our family from our hotel and was a very safe driver.

This DMZ tour with Sandy was excellent and truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment my family and I were picked up at our hotel until we were dropped off at the end of the day, everything was seamless and well organized. Sandy provided insightful and engaging explanations about the DMZ and Korean history, helping us gain a much deeper understanding of the region and its significance. The private tour format allowed us to learn efficiently through personalized, face-to-face discussions and gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Having Sandy with us throughout the day was incredibly reassuring. She consistently went above and beyond to make every part of the experience enjoyable, informative, and memorable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a meaningful and enriching visit to the DMZ.

We booked a private tour and had Song as our guide. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable guide. She was extremely friendly, punctual, and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day. Spending a full day on a private tour with family can only be enjoyable if your guide is good company, and Song was exactly that. She made the experience comfortable, engaging, and memorable. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Wookie was our tour guide for the day. We had a private tour group of 6. Wookie contacted me the day before to confirm the pick up time and place. This gave us a peace of mind. He was prompt and greeted us at the lobby. He then asked if we wanted to see anything special and what we wanted for lunch. Great start. Once near the DMZ private tours are not allow so we had to join the official DMZ tour. Wookie arranged our tickets, bus seating etc and went around the DMZ with us like a private DMZ guide so we did not not have to follow the large groups with the designated guides. After the official DMZ tour Wookie took us to have lunch. Lucky for us he did as we really didn't know how to eat what we were given even though we had requested it. After lunch we went to the suspension bridge. During the day Wookie was also our photographer so it was great to have someone take our group shots. We and a great day and many thanks for Wookie's efforts.

Jake was amazing, thoughtful, patient and highly professional. We will absolutely look to book him again in the future. He has great local and historical insights he shared and we definitely give him our highest recommendation. Highlights included the 3rd tunnel tour, the DMZ visitor area and the suspension bridge. He added a very entertaining airsoft shooting range experience that was super fun.
Thank you for joining our tour service and glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour with my tour guide! Airsoft shooting range is run by us and providing it for free of charge to those joining our tour program! Hope you have good memory in Korea! Best Regards Harry
We had an amazing experience on the DMZ tour. Our tour guide Jun was very knowledgeable, friendly and very engaging. We were not rushed and had enough time for the experience at each location.

Yujin was the best guide and driver! I booked a solo tour before my flight back to California. It was greatly appreciated that they could accommodate my itinerary of the tour plus airport drop off. Yujin is incredibly knowledgeable and informative. I was also appreciative of him keeping up with my fast pace and taking all of the photos I asked for. Overall, if you want to avoid being stuck in a large group tour bus then definitely book this guide!

Jun was our guide and he was great. I am traveling with my parents and kids which is why I decided on a private tour. I wanted pick up and drop off from our hotel, a guide just to us the whole time, and food. I also did not want any sales pitches or unnecessary shopping stops. Jun was patient and spoke English well. The only recommendation is to plan lunch earlier. Jun picked us up at 5am and we did not get to eat lunch until 3:30pm. He did make sure we had multiple opportunities to able to grab snacks.
