We had a guide and driver from a local company for a tour of the DMZ and local markets. The morning trip to the DMZ was pleasant enough except we didn't really don't go to the DMZ. You go...near the DMZ. There is small train ride that takes you to the Third Tunnel which is interesting, but I would caution... More

I came on this tour with my partner. We did the full day tour and I think it was very worthwhile as you not only got to see the infiltration tunnel, observatory, last train station in S. Korea before heading north but you got to go to the JSA. The morning was spent at the tunnel etc and it was... More

Exactly what you get on a DMZ tour depends to some extent on who you go with and what the political climate is like at the time. We were advised by our family serving in a local Diplomatic Service to use the USO tour service to maximise our chances of getting as far as the Conference Huts which straddle the... More

After doing a bit of research, we decided to book the USO Koridoor Tour of the DMZ. You can book online, but I suggest you book well ahead to be sure of a place. The tours are very popular and get booked out. The tour was really fascinating. Our guide was very informative and spoke good English. The visit to... More

Before booking a DMZ tour, I did my research and booked the tour most recommended by other people: USO's Koridoor Tours. Looking back, I am glad that I did. As this tour is limited by the amount of people and days of the week that it takes place, I would recommend that you book this DMZ tour way in advance.... More

After a bit of research I've decided to book the tour with USO. I managed the entire booking process online, which was simple and called their office in South Korea to make the payment. I would prefer the 7:30am tour but it was full on the only day I can go and I was happy to go on the 12:30pm... More

I went on a JSA (Joint Security Area) only, tour with Cosmo-Jin Tour. There were leaflets for 2 separate organisations in my hotel lobby, one said you couldn't wear jeans and the above company one just said no shorts etc.., so I decided to book with them. Just so you know, you can go to the JSA wearing jeans, but... More

I booked a USO/KORIDOOR tour into the DMZ/JSA in advance. Easy enough to do online/by email. Emails were answered promptly, information/directions/instructions were clear. A 7am check-in at the KORIDOOR office in Seoul and we returned at 3.30pm. The whole tour was fascinating and good value but the highlight was the JSA and stepping into North Korea. I also enjoyed the... More

So I'd never been to Korea and I wanted to make sure I at least saw the boarder. I found tour company, there are multiple in Seoul, you can find them all online. Once you start your tour it took me from Seoul to the boarder area. We viewed many sites and then joined multiple other tour groups and entered... More
