Complimentary hotel transport available, refrain from mandatory shopping. Fancy a view of N.Korea? Interested in entering the DMZ?

The DMZ tour is quite popular among Seoul tourists, however, many often overlook a breathtaking sightseeing spot, the Suspension Bridge located at Mt.Gamaksan, which is just a 30-minute drive from the DMZ.

With just a short 10-minute hike, you can take in the stunning landscape of the Korean Mountain and the Suspension bridge!

In the morning, our tour kicks off at the DMZ, visiting Imjingak peace park, the 3rd invasion tunnel situated in the Demilitarized zone and quite close to MDL, Dora observatory which offers a view of N.Korea, and Unification Village within the Civilian control zone. So, step into the DMZ itself and get a glimpse of N.Korea, becoming an eyewitness to the only country in the world that has been split into two.

10/10 experience - A personalized experience with a small group. The driver/guide was knowledgeable and personable. We chose this tour because they pick you up from the hotel directly which was very convenient. The combination of the DMZ with the suspension bridge was an excellent choice. Both remarkable and unique experience. Highly recommend!

Great tour! Definitely worth it - Super happy with this tour & Vincent as a tour guide. The whole trip, including communication and instructions was executed very well. Big bonus is, it’s just a small group and not the whole big bus. Definitely recommend

Great DMZ tour with Vincent. - This was an amazing tour. Vincent was a great tour guide from the start. He sent very clear messages on where and when to meet. He arrived on time and the van was very clean. We picked up several other passengers and were on our way. He was knowledgeable and gave us the history of the Korean War and the DMZ. We went to the suspension bridge first because our reservations for the DMZ were for a little later in the morning and he didn't want us to be rushed at any of the sites. For the DMZ you have to go on the bus with a larger group, but Vincent took the lead with that larger group because he was so knowledgeable and engaging. After the tour and the ride back to Seoul, we got dropped off at one of the drop off sites which were all well located to continue our day of visiting the street markets. Vincent is professional and friendly, and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour.

Highly recommended - Our tour guide Vincent ran a very informative session and looked after us so well. He was very knowledgeable, but apart from giving us the information, he included his opinions and funny comments which made it interesting. Because of the way he told the stories, we have appreciated the history, and the heartaches the Koreans experienced (and continue to experience) because of the war. The tour was run exactly on time and according to plan so we had time to explore Gwangjang market after. Vincent knew how to beat the crowds as well as made sure we go into the tunnel via monorail and not by foot! Thank you Vincent for a very memorable DMZ and suspension bridge experience!
