- Licensed guide with military background proficient in English.
Over seven decades have elapsed since the commencement of the Korean War and the establishment of the 248 km (155 miles) ceasefire demarcation along the 38th parallel. This has led to the formation of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), an emblem of conflict and tranquility, as well as division and potential reunification. The DMZ stands frozen in time, now serving as a sanctuary for various rare wildlife species.
All male guides at U.K.T possess a minimum of two to three years of military experience. This allows for authentic narratives about military operations between North and South Korea. For instance, three decades ago, inquiries into Korean reunification yielded a majority affirmative response. However, perspectives have since shifted, and these guides can offer insight into the evolving attitudes and beliefs.
With a bit of fortune, you might encounter one of our female guides. Should this occur, make sure to listen to their equally astonishing accounts.

The experience was great. - We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide in South Korea. From the very beginning, everything was well-organized and thoughtfully planned. He took care of all the details in advance, which made our trip smooth and stress-free. What impressed us most was how caring and attentive he was throughout the journey—always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He delivered on every promise and went above and beyond to make our time in Korea truly memorable. Highly recommended!

Very, very excellent tour guide one of the best we have ever used. Recommend him very highly. - Our guide Mr.Kori was excellent, he had in-depth knowledge of the conflict between North and South Korea. He was extremely polite and professional while being friendly at the same time. He escorted us during the entire tour so that we would see all that was available at each location. We highly recommend Mr.Kori he is a 5 star plus performer. A very big thank you to Mr.Kori (Mr. Ahn).

Between Worlds - Demilitarized Zone - Our guide, who had military experience, immersed us in the troubled relationship between North & South Korea. At one point in Tunnel 3 which North Korea dug in 1970-75 to invade South Korea we were 150 meters from the North Korean border. Not to be missed!
