Korean War was stopped on 27th of July 1953 after signing armistice agreement, since then, DMZ buffer zone was drawn to prevent any kind of fight from happening.
This tour allows you to understand what happened after Korean War, from 1950s to present days.
It is a DMZ tour but we don't get to go inside the DMZ, DMZ is the border and heavily minded area, we go into the military zone which is outside the DMZ and visit 3rd infiltration tunnel dug by North Korea and observatory to see and understand the DMZ and division.
By the way, this is DMZ tour not JSA, JSA is the place where the armistice was signed and where the president of the USA went to shake his hand with the Leader of North Korea in 2019, this specific tour, please look for JSA tour.
Please bring the passport since we are going into military zone
We hope to meet you all.

2DMZ
We take the DMZ tour bus to go visit 3 places. 1.) 3rd infiltration tunnel, 2.) Dora observatory to look at DMZ from the distance, 3) Quick stop at the supermarket in the Unification village DMZ is heavily mined area, only special soldiers can go inside to make sure there is no violation of agreement between South and North Korea. Unfortunately tourist can only see it from observatory that is located outside the DMZ to understand the situation of the division. DMZ is 2km to South and North each from the demarcation line and this line stretches from West to East for about 250 km Let's hope someday we can pass though DMZ as we did in late 2000s (North Korea tours from South were available then)
