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.

Dragon Kim gave us an amazing DMZ tour! He was fun, informative, and kept everyone on schedule which was hugely appreciated. Would tour with Dragon again!!
We got a tour with AJ from Seoul City Tour (GaRam Jung) and she was the best guide we could ever ask for! Her energy was unmatched, she had a great knowledge about any topic we asked about and was positive during the whole trip, engaging in interactions with other visitors from our group. She was helpful, had a great sense of humour and a will to solve any issue that came up. I felt safe and comfortable on my trip to DMZ. I hope to encounter more guides like AJ on my future journeys!
