Visite privée de la DMZ (Tunnel / Observation) avec prise en charge à l'hôtel
Description
La guerre de Corée a été arrêtée le 27 juillet 1953 après la signature d'un accord d'armistice. Depuis lors, la zone tampon DMZ a été dessinée pour empêcher tout type de combat. Cette visite vous permet de comprendre ce qui s'est passé après la guerre de Corée, des années 1950 à nos jours. C'est une visite de la DMZ mais nous n'entrons pas à l'intérieur de la DMZ, la DMZ est la frontière et la zone très occupée, nous entrons dans la zone militaire qui se trouve à l'extérieur de la DMZ et visitons le 3ème tunnel d'infiltration creusé par la Corée du Nord et l'observatoire pour voir et comprendre la DMZ et la division. À propos, il s'agit d'une tournée DMZ et non de la JSA, la JSA est l'endroit où l'armistice a été signé et où le président des États-Unis est allé serrer la main du dirigeant de la Corée du Nord en 2019. Cette tournée spécifique, veuillez rechercher la tournée JSA . Veuillez apporter le passeport puisque nous allons dans la zone militaire Nous espérons tous vous rencontrer.

Itinéraire
Nous voyagerons d'abord pendant 1 heure pour arriver à Imjingak depuis notre point de prise en charge à Séoul. Imjingak est le lieu construit après les premiers pourparlers entre la Corée du Sud et la Corée du Nord en 1972. C'est devenu le lieu où l'on aspire à l'unification de la Corée et il y a des endroits à voir, nous verrons les endroits listés ci-dessous avant de rejoindre le bus touristique DMZ. 1. Freedom Bridge - il est conçu pour que les soldats traversent la rivière 2. Locomotive rouillée - déplacée après avoir été coincée dans la DMZ pendant un demi-siècle 3. Pont ferroviaire de la rivière Imjin - Le pont ferroviaire a explosé pendant la guerre de Corée
Nous prenons le bus touristique DMZ pour aller visiter 3 lieux. 1.) 3ème tunnel d'infiltration, 2.) Observatoire de Dora pour regarder la DMZ de loin, 3) Arrêt rapide au supermarché du village de l'Unification La DMZ est une zone fortement minée, seuls des soldats spéciaux peuvent y pénétrer pour s'assurer qu'il n'y a pas de violation de l'accord entre la Corée du Sud et la Corée du Nord. Malheureusement, les touristes ne peuvent le voir que depuis un observatoire situé à l'extérieur de la DMZ pour comprendre la situation de la division. La DMZ se trouve à 2 km au sud et au nord de la ligne de démarcation et cette ligne s'étend d'ouest en est sur environ 250 km. Espérons qu'un jour nous pourrons traverser la DMZ comme nous l'avons fait à la fin des années 2000 (des tournées en Corée du Nord depuis le Sud étaient alors disponibles)
Nous avons caminé le tunnel pour ouvrir le troisième tunnel d'infiltration creusé en Corée du Nord, qui a permis à 30 000 soldats nord-coréens de passer en 1 heure si ils étaient terminés.
L'un des nombreux observatoires à observer la frontière tragique de la Corée. Ici, vous pouvez également assister aux progrès de la coopération entre la Corée du Sud et la Corée du Nord. Après la visite, il vous faudra 1 heure pour retourner à Séoul et vous serez déposé à l'endroit où vous serez pris en charge.
Après la visite de la DMZ, nous nous dirigerons vers un musée sur la Corée du Nord, où vous aurez la chance de rencontrer un transfuge et de l'interviewer.

Best tour ever. To meet the defector from northkorea - and hear her story. The guide Miae was superfriendly.
What a great private tour with Miae. She picked us up at our hotel in Seoul in a very nice air conditioned van and drove us to the DMZ area. The first stop was a lookout where you could look across the river into North Korea just a few kms away. You could take pictures here. We then proceeded to a stop to transition to a bus to enter the civilian area of the DMZ with other people and Miae joined us. They do check passports on the way in and out. It was helpful having Miae with us to guide us and translate. The 3rd infiltration tunnel was interesting. Wear comfortable shoes as it is a challenging walk and pretty steep. The Dora Observatory was the highlight for us and provides great views of North Korea and DMZ. You are not allowed to take pictures here or most places once you enter the restricted area of the civilian area of the DMZ. The bus made a quick stop in a village for snacks and souvenirs. Once we got back to the large “staging area” we got off the tour bus and back into Miae’s van for the 90 minute drive back into Seoul. There were opportunities to use restrooms and buy snacks along the way. We really enjoyed the tour with Miae and all of the information she provided along the way. Highly recommend!
Personalized DMZ experience. You will become better acquainted with a Korean citizen, and learn more about the local culture.
After comparing and contrasting all the different DMZ tours (and their itineraries), and narrowing down what our party of 7 wanted to see, I ended up on this exact tour. Our guide was Juno Lee. He was fantastic! He picked us up at 7:30a from our hotel in Gangam district (which was out of zone for many of the other tours; AND we didn’t have to venture out earlier in the morning on the subways to meet a bigger tour group at a subway entrance/exit). Juno drove us about 1.5-2 hrs north-ish to the DMZ Ticket area (had an official name, but can’t remember the name of the park). He took our passports to buy tix while we went and grabbed some Dunkin Donuts and pastries upstairs. Then he gave us a 15min overview of the area and history. Then we boarded a large bus filled with similar smaller tour groups. Road the bus into the DMZ area and all the other sites. The tunnel hike was a HIKE!! Lock all your belongings and jackets and hats in there!! It’s not a walk in the park, and was a bit strenuous. They are currently building an ADA access point to get down to the tunnel; so maybe wait on visiting if that’s something you’d need. Once the large bus tour finished and dropped us off back at the ticketing area, Juno took us into the North Korea Museum to meet a defector (which I don’t think was on the itinerary, and bc of the cold and snow, we were initially not looking forward to it…but it was SO COOL. Would recommend!). I highly recommend this tour. Bring snacks and water (though they do stop at a shop at the end of the bus tour, so you can buy some snacks then).
This was a fantastic, eye-opening tour with an excellent friendly guide, one of the best tour guides we've had touring around the world. My husband and I learned so much. We highly recommend this tour and want to commend our guide, Miae Hyun for giving us the royal treatment. Going on private tours is so worth the extra money! You can see more of what you want to see and have someone dedicated to you! A++
Miae was delightful, knowledgeable, funny, & helpful. Absolutely everything one could want in a tour guide
We booked a private DMZ tour with Miae at Top Korea Travel, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming to our family. Her knowledge of the area’s history was impressive, and she shared information in a way that was both easy to understand and deeply meaningful. Throughout the tour, she made sure we were comfortable, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel rushed. She also took fantastic photos along the way, capturing special moments we wouldn’t have been able to get on our own — something we truly appreciated. Thanks to Miae, we walked away with a much deeper understanding of the DMZ and its history. Highly recommend booking with Top Korea Travel and requesting Miae — she made our experience unforgettable.
My wife and I did the private DMZ tour with Juno, which was one of our favorite activities during our trip to South Korea. Juno was a great guide - friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the Korean War and North Korea, especially since he has visited himself. The tour lasted nearly 8 hours, including hotel pickup and the drive north. It felt like the perfect length - not too long, but also not rushed. We also had a delicious lunch at a bulgogi restaurant. Highly recommended!
From the start Miae was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip with her as our guide and the DMZ tour was one of the key highlights of our trip to Seoul. Would definitely use DMZ tours again!
The DMZ tour was one of the most memorable parts of my trip to South Korea. It offered a unique look into the Korean conflict and the ongoing division between North and South Korea. Highlights included the Third Infiltration Tunnel and Dora Observatory. Our tour guide was excellent: knowledgeable, respectful, and engaging. She shared historical context and stories that made the experience even more meaningful. Our private tour was well-organized and informative. Pick-up and drop-off at our hotel was very helpful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Korea.
