Unforgettable DMZ: Korean Border & Gondola Experience from Seoul
No address available
What is the DMZ – an exciting experience like no other While the Cold War happened a long time ago, Korea is the only country that still remains divided as a consequence. The DMZ lies on the border between the North and the South. This is the most heavily fortified border in the whole world, so don’t miss the chance to see it! OPTIONAL : Gondonla Gondola tour is one of our most popular DMZ tours and can also be an excellent alternative to our DMZ Tour when political or military events restrict access to some of the stops on those tours. OPTIONAL : Red Suspension Bridge The Gamaksan Red Suspension Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Korea at 220m long and 1.5m wide. It can hold up to 900 adults and is constructed to withstand 30 meters per second winds and earthquakes of up to 7 magnitude. Its stunning scenic views make it the perfect spot to capture beautiful photos, and it is always well-received.

We went with tour guide Emily. Emily was very informative and fun. Any information that we needed she gave us to be able to do all functions. Everyone stuck to the schedule and we had enough time at all stopping points. If you are going down the 3rd tunnel it is a bit strenuous as is the hike up to the suspension bridge. You do not need to be in great shape to do either, but it is not a stroll in the park.

Ray was an amazing tour guide. He was a former South Korean Soldier. His knowledge and experience added authenticity to the entire tour. Getting to actually see the DMZ and all the accompanying sites was an incredible experience that shouldn’t be missed when traveling to South Korea.

We had a great time learning the history of the two Koreas and Kelly was an amazing tour guide. She was very thorough and made sure we understood what was and not allowed. It was a lot of fun. Thank you so much for a great day, Kelly!

We enjoyed the DMZ tour a lot, thanks to our guide Judy teaching us the history of the Korea war in detail and making us feel how people living in that era felt like.

An amazing tour of the DMZ! Our tour guide Kelly was fantastic! Really informative and made it such an interesting and educational experience. The entire trip was well organised by VIP travel and we were able to fit in multiple sites without feeling rushed. Could not recommend this tour anymore!
