The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a buffer zone that separates South and North Korea. Established in 1953 following the armistice agreement of the Korean War, the DMZ is 4 kilometers wide. Despite its name, it is one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world. This tour is not just a visit to a historical site; it is also a journey toward understanding the reality of division and the hope for peace on the Korean Peninsula.

You can see the Freedom Bridge, war relics, and gaze toward North Korea. It serves as an important site for reflecting on peace and history.

My husband and I spent a perfect day with Sally. Her English is quite proficient and she offers solid information related to sights visited. We truly enjoyed her company and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect guide in Seoul. Having lived in both the U.S. and Canada, she has a good understanding of the North American clientèle.
