Seoul · DMZ & JSA TOURS
You cannot reach the Demilitarized Zone alone, so the only decision is whose bus. These 15 differ on whether the Third Tunnel is walked or ridden, whether a defector talks to the group, and whether the red suspension bridge is included or sold on the day. Passport numbers go in days ahead, and everything shuts on Mondays.

“Felicity did a fantastic job providing historical context through modern story telling. Great tour to get an orientation into Korean history. Highly recommend adding the defector live chat. Memorable way to understand and imagine the stark difference between life in the North vs South. The third tunnel walk is steep. Great if you want to experience the motions of those who walked before you but not a great pay off at the end of the walk. Great communication and easy pick up and drop off coordination. Not a scenic tour but definitely and educational one.”
