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.

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

Nuestro guía Juno nos llevó por muchos lugares de Corea, no limitándonos a Seul. Sus explicación y gran actitud sirvieron para que el viaje fuera una experiencia de 10, dando siempre más de sí. Sin duda, se lo recomiendo a quien esté pensando parar unos días por Corea

I went on a half-day tour of the DMZ with Juno and I can surely say the trip exceeded my expectations! Juno is an excellent guide with many insightful information and is also a great guy to hang out with! He was helpful and considerate from the begining, helping us with the organisation of the rest of our stay in Korea by providing us with all the help and informations we required. The DMZ tour was detailed and we got to see everything we wanted. At the and he was kind enough to drop us at our hotel. I would highly recommed to go and see DMZ (or any other program he offers) with Juno. A great day guaranteed!

This was an integral part of our family trip to Korea. The DMZ is a visible reminder of how the country was ripped apart, with many family members separated forever. Venturing into an actual tunnel that was created by North Korea for the specific purpose of invasion makes you realize that the Korean War never really ended. And then to realize how the country has achieved so much in the span of 2-3 generations after the devastation drives home the success story that Korea has become. Thank you, Juno, for showing how this place represents both the past and future of Korea. Bravo!
