Description
This private DMZ tour is a carefully designed itinerary that explores the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Paju with a professional local guide. The tour is conducted in a private vehicle and includes complimentary photography throughout the day.
[Hotel Pickup – Seoul]
The tour begins with a private pickup from your hotel in Seoul. You will travel comfortably to Paju in an air-conditioned vehicle while your guide introduces the history and background of the Korean War and the division of the Korean Peninsula.
[Imjingak Park]
Upon arrival at the DMZ area, the first stop is Imjingak Park, a symbolic site dedicated to peace and reunification. Here, you will visit Mangbaedan Altar, where separated families pay tribute to relatives in North Korea, and the Bridge of Freedom, used by prisoners of war returning to the South after the Korean War. Your guide provides historical context and explanations throughout the visit.
[DMZ Core Sites]
After entering the controlled DMZ zone, you will visit the Third Infiltration Tunnel, discovered in the 1970s. You will walk through part of the tunnel while learning about its construction, purpose, and historical significance. The tour continues to Dorasan Observatory, where you can look across the border into North Korea and gain a deeper understanding of the division of Korea.
[Unification Village]
Next, you will visit Unification Village, a civilian-controlled area near the DMZ. Your guide explains how residents live under special regulations and how the village operates within the border region.
