What to expect

This is a tour to take you deep into the Demiliratized Zone (DMZ), just a few miles from North Korean territory, to discover more about Korea's turbulent past. Despite its name, the DMZ is the area between two of the most heavily armed frontiers on earth. This no man's land is remarkably safe for tourists (and even world leaders) to visit, but is only accessible via group tours. Your guide will relate the fascinating history surrounding the area as you visit historical sites: war relics at Imjingak Park, Freedom Bridge across which almost 13,000 Korean POWs walked to freedom, the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel - an invasion route built beneath the border, the DMZ exhibition theater, and views of North Korea from atop the Dora Observatory.

  • Step into one of the world’s most guarded borders and uncover Korea’s pivotal history at the DMZ.

The tour was amazing and very informative. Lizzy was very fun and amazing to be with. We were able to not just visit the place but also know the background and history of the each landmark. Exactly the type of tour I would recommend everyone. It’s a very fond memory for me. Thank you so much Klook and Lizzy to make it possible<3

Lily from Seoul City Tours was an amazing host! She has great energy and she was very accomodating. Me and my partner were very happy with the trip. It was informative and very interactive. Just make sure you plan your trip around sunny periods so you can get a good view of North Korea. We went on a cloudy/drizzly day and fog rolled in as we took our time at Dorasan observatory. Thankfully Lily planned the trip so we had enough time to view across the DMZ before the fog rolled in. For third infiltration tunnel, the trek up was quite a work out so make sure you put in your steps before you go on this trip so you don't hit a wall walking up the tunnel. I really loved this tour and I'd like to come back again!

hazel was an excellent and extremely thorough tour guide! she explained lots of about the history of north korea and the dmz, as well as explaining each activity throughly! the bus picked up at the exact time advertised and was quick and comfortable, we did 4 stops and they were all worth it, the best bit was the tunnel tour, as you get to go underground through the tunnels north korea dug! also, make sure to book with the q and a with a north korean defector, as it was really informative and interesting to hear stories from the person! overall, the tour is definitely worth your money and i would recommend booking with hazel if possible as she was very helpful!

Amazing DMZ Tour with Erica! Erica made this tour absolutely unforgettable — knowledgeable, warm, and clearly passionate about sharing Korea's history. She brought the Third Tunnel, JSA, and Dora Observatory to life with stories that were both moving and easy to follow, and she kept our group on schedule the whole day without ever feeling rushed. If you're booking a DMZ tour, ask for Erica — hands down one of the best guides I've had. Five stars!

여니 (연이) Yeoni was our guide and she was very sweet. she was great at guiding us throughout the history of North and South Korea. My favourite parts of the trip we’re, talking to the North Korean defector and interpreter, and also seeing through the windows in the third tunnel.

We had an amazing experience on the DMZ Tour! It was one of the most interesting and educational tours we’ve joined in Korea. The itinerary was well-organized, and learning about the history of the Korean Peninsula made the experience even more meaningful. A special thank you to our tour guide, Erica. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything in a clear, engaging, and easy-to-understand way. Her English is excellent, and her pronunciation and accent made it very easy for everyone in the group to follow along. She shared historical facts, answered questions patiently, and kept the tour both informative and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Erica as your guide. She truly made the experience memorable. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Our guide for the tour Yeoni was really insightful, used personal stories and looked after every single person in our group. She also gave excellent advice throughout, and even recommended me some local Ginseng to try out. All in all a 10/10 experience, and certainly unmatched. If you do get Yeoni for your tour, you will have the best experience ever, one you’ll never forget in a lifetime. 감사합니다 💜

We had a fantastic experience on this DMZ tour. It was incredibly interesting and gave us a much better understanding of the history and the current situation between North and South Korea. The itinerary was well organized, and every stop was worth visiting. A very special mention goes to Dora, who was absolutely amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided so many interesting facts throughout the day. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and made the experience even more memorable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Seoul. Thank you, Dora, for making our day so enjoyable!
