Getting started
Choose your departure point in Seoul and meet your guide outside Myeongdong Station Exit 5 at 8:30 AM or Hongik Univ. Station Exit 3 at 9:00 AM. From there, travel together by round-trip transfer to the DMZ. The tour is limited to 13 guests, giving you a more comfortable setting for questions and interaction throughout the day.
What to expect
Start with an introduction to North Korean life and society through exhibits, videos, rare items, and personal stories. The visit provides useful context before entering the DMZ.
Meet a North Korean defector and hear a personal escape story. The live Q&A gives you the opportunity to ask questions and learn about experiences beyond the border.
Continue into the DMZ area and visit Dora Observatory, where you can look across the border and learn more about the surrounding region.
Walk through the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel and learn about its history and discovery from your professional guide.
Visit this settlement within the DMZ area and gain further insight into the region and its unique position near the border.
After the DMZ visit, stop at a local restaurant operated by a North Korean defector chef. Meals are ordered individually and are not included in the tour price.
After the restaurant visit, your DMZ tour concludes with the return journey to Seoul.

All participants must bring a valid passport or Alien Registration Card (ARC) to access the DMZ; entry may be denied without it.
