Would give you a much better understanding of what really happened with the separation of North and South Korea.

Itinerary
DMZ is demilitarized zone and a buffer zone between North Korea and South Korea. The lines reach 248 km in length from Jeongdong-ri, Paju-si to Myeongho-ri, Goseong-gun. At the present time, an area within 2 km in both the north and south side is designated as the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). Excluding the DMZ, the overall area is considered to be the most heavily militarized region in the world.
The 3rd Tunnel was discovered by South Korea in 1978. It spans over 1,635m in length, 2m in width, and 2m in height and is located 52km from Seoul. It is estimated that approximately 30,000 soldiers could move through the tunnel per hour. The scale is similar to the 2nd Tunnel, but it was thought to be more threatening as an invasion tool than the 1st and 2nd Tunnels. Located only 4km away from Imjingak toward the southwest and 3.5km from the Tongilchon area, it is accessible by car in approximately 45 min from Seoul.
DMZ tour includes visiting Dora Observatory where you can see North korea if the weather is good, the 3rd tunnel, and Dorasan Station which is the last station in South Korea and there will be Pyeongyang station 205km away from this station. Dorasa Station is currently closed. It can be replaced if Dora observatory is closed.
If you select Suspension bridge option, we will visit Chulleong Bridge near DMZ area. It is a bridge that connects the valley of the mountain, where black and blue lights can be seen simultaneously between the rocks. You can enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery in all four seasons by crossing the 150m swinging bridge. Gamaksan Suspension Bridge can be replaced with one of other suspension bridges, Lake suspension bridge or Hantangang(river) suspension bridge.
Every Monday, we will visit the 2nd tunnel, Peace Observatory, and Suspension Bridge

Yohan was a great guide. Had a lot of good info, was very personable, The tour was definitely worth the money. Some parts required some "hiking" and not every activity had a elevator i would say if you have trouble walking you could miss out on some things.
The guide Shawn was great… friendly... welcoming and helpful. Thanks to him for the guidance and knowledge he shared about korean culture and history.
Awesome experience and beutifully guided. Our guide Dragon explained the history behind the korean, some famous historical figures from korea and other countries and also what followed as a result after the korean war. He even had stuff to talk about as we were traveling to the next location so it was never boring. Would definetly recommend Korea Time Tour for those wanting to learn more about how it started and to those who want to learn and see what tactics North Korea used against South Korea in the war.
Exceptional tour! Our guide, Dragon Kim, was very funny and intelligent. He was great at explaining the history behind the DMZ and the Korean war. The bus that Korea Time Tour provided was also great. The seats were comfortable and there was lots of space for baggage or for people with longer legs. There was also a tv at the front which was quite a genius way to easily show the days schedule and important historically significant places. I would absolutely recommend Korea Time Tour for anyone that wants a tour of the DMZ.
We had an amazing experience on our DMZ tour with Korea Time Tours and our phenomenal tour guide Dragon Kim. Dragon Kim was a consummate professional who’s expertise ranged from personal military service, to a degree in history, and also an amazing sense of humour as a Kim Jong Un impersonator. Mr. Dragon consistently had us learning and laughing at every stop. Mr Dragon went above and beyond on this tour to forego his personal daily salary in order to compensate/refund certain guests on the tour who threw a temper tantrum (Polish). Mr Dragon is amazing and we wish him an abundance of wealth, good health, good fortune, and fame.
SUCH a well spent day, SO much new knowledge. Mr Dragon Kim added the little extra to a day that was already top notch. Requires walking uphill for the bridge and down into dripping underground for the 3rd tunnel, so wear ok shoes.
Great DMZ tour! Will do it again with Dragon Kim.
we really loved the Tour!! the Tourguide Dragon Kim is well spoken and well informed so it's really nice to listen to him! i recommend him and Korea Time Travel company for sure!!
Our guide Yohan was very informative and made it easy to understand and appreciate Korea more. Kudos to our driver Mr. Kim and guide Mr. Yohan. Hopefully you will continue your wonderful services to more tourist.
Had an amazing time and created unforgettable memories at the DMZ tour guided under Mr Yohan. Absolutely on time, very friendly and loaded with knowledge on the subject.
We really enjoyed the trip though it was a little hectic.
Amazing experiences, yohan it's a great guide tours I Recomend the tours
The experience was enjoyable; we saw a lot on this visit, and above all, we learned a lot.
Andrew was an incedible guide! Really kind and friendly. The whole experience was the highlight of my trip so far. Thank you so much! I highly recommend it to everyone even if you are not very interested in history.
very informative. I learned alot! the guide is very friendly too!
Lots of information and organized
Enjoyed the experience and the guide!
Dragon Kim is a very knowledgeable tour guide. He made the tour very interesting and made use of our time wisely. I would highly recommend this tour.
Dragon Kim is very knowledgeable and professional. We learned a lot in this tour. Bus driver is very good and friendly. Happy experience overall 👍
Good and nice tour guide. Detailed and good explanation of the history.
Andrew is the BEST guide to have. He's very knowledgeable, has great communication skills, and an extremely great personality. He knew exactly how to avoid the big crowds and gave us tons of great pictures, food recommendations, and epic stories about Korea's history. Just as a heads up, the tour does have lots of walking, you're probably looking at a 15k steps day just during the tour.
Well worth your time and money. The tour lasts a full day and requires an early start but is well worth it! Danny was friendly, informative and always ready to answer questions. The tour was a great balance between getting through the packed schedule without feeling rushed. There is free time at many of the stops. A fantastic experience I would recommend to anyone!
Guide and bus were on time . Instructions were clear and we learned a lot during the trip. Highly recommended .
Vodič je bil zelo prijazen in zgovoren. Ob njemu sem se počutila zelo prijetno in sproščeno. Turo je izpeljal zelo zanimivo in prijetno. ( tour guide gave permission to write in our own language.) - slovenian, U. Here is also in english Tour guide named Andrew was very pleasant energy and sweet thruought the whole tour. He spoke clearly and sound. He helped us as much as he could and was very understanding. The whole experience because of him was very pleasant and very very interesting. He was very nice with any questions even if they were maybe related to also other topics at the end of the tour. He made me curious about history of this country even more. Even tho the hour was very early it was nice because our group was not too crowded and not too big. Atmosphere was very very nice and the lenght of the tour went by quick. For what we saw and experience the admission fee was pretty on point because it is not something you can do anywhere else or experience this. Sincerely, One of the three slovenians
Had a great experience, weather is good,tour is best for family and friends.
Our group had a great time! patrick was an amazing guide he was able to solve any problem the tour had.
We are from Russia and were very worried, as this is our first excursion in English. But with our guide Patrick it was very fun and understandable for us😄😄😄
Very friendly and approachable
Great experience with Patrick. Fun and educational.
Excellent day exploring the DMZ with Andrew. My mother unexpectedly hurt her ankle earlier in our trip and Andrew did a great job of checking in with her, making sure she participated as much as she could. He was very thoughtful and shared some personal insights to help make the tour come alive. Would gladly do again with friends the next time I'm in Seoul.
Yohan was a funny and wonderful tour guide! He did a great job providing the historical context for all the locations we visited while also cracking jokes and offering plenty of convenience store stops for snacks.
Patrick was a great guide very informative. Highly recommend doing this trip.

What an incredible experience! 🇰🇷 We had the pleasure of having Patrick as our tour guide for the DMZ today, and he was absolutely fantastic! His enthusiasm, passion, knowledge and great sense of humour made the entire day so enjoyable. He really went the extra mile to make sure everyone had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Korea — and if you get Patrick as your guide, you’re in for a treat! ⭐️👏🏼
Patrick was an awesome tour guide! Very friendly and informative; I learned so much on my tour. Highly recommend! Don’t sleep on his private tours as well “Patrick Grand”
It was my first time traveling to Seoul with family. It was worth booking a DMZ tour. I am glad we booked through Viator. Yohan was our tour guide. He was funny and informative and very kind. He would always check in and make sure we are comfortable. The trip was very worth it. We enjoyed the experience :)
