Overview

Hi. I’m Jayce, your guide — and a former South Korean soldier who served 19 months at a General Outpost in the Eastern DMZ. Every day, I looked across the border at North Korea, feeling the tension, fear, and hope that define this place.

On this tour, I’ll share real stories from my service — the living conditions, unexpected emergencies, and daily moments that shaped my understanding of the divided peninsula. Together, we’ll explore the tragic history of separation, reflect on the harsh reality of war, and discuss my personal thoughts on the future of both Koreas.

There’s so much to tell that sometimes the tour runs a little longer — I hope you won’t mind!

10% of proceeds are donated to support soldiers currently serving along the DMZ.

Please note that DMZ access may be restricted at any time for safety or operational reasons. If so, the tour may be replaced with the DMZ Gondola and an observatory overlooking North Korea. Thank you for your understanding.

Activity itinerary

Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park

Located near the DMZ in Paju, Imjingak Peace Nuri Park symbolizes Korea’s hope for reunification. The vast riverside park features the Freedom Bridge, remnants of the Korean War, and art installations made from barbed wire and peace messages. Visitors can stroll across green fields dotted with wind-powered sculptures and reflect on Korea’s divided past and aspirations for peace.
Dora Observatory
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Situated on Mount Dora, the Dora Observatory offers a rare glimpse across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) into North Korea. From the viewing platform, you can see Kaesong City, North Korean propaganda villages, and the surrounding landscapes through high-powered binoculars. It’s one of the closest points where civilians can safely look into North Korea, providing a powerful perspective on the peninsula’s division.
The Third Tunnel
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Discovered in 1978, the Third Infiltration Tunnel is a striking reminder of Cold War tensions. Dug secretly by North Korea, it stretches over 1.6 kilometers toward Seoul and could have transported thousands of soldiers within an hour. Visitors can walk part of the tunnel wearing safety helmets and learn about its discovery at the DMZ exhibition hall, which highlights ongoing efforts toward peace and security.
Tong-Ilchon
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Tongilchon, or Unification Village, is a small farming community located just south of the DMZ. Established to promote peace and coexistence, it’s known for its clean air, organic crops, and unique position within the civilian control zone. Visitors can taste local specialties like soybean products and ginseng, shop for regional goods, and experience everyday life close to the border.
Odusan Unification Tower
  • 1h

Odusan Unification Tower offers a unique viewpoint where visitors can see North Korea across the Han River. Learn about Korea’s division, history, and hopes for reunification as you explore this symbolic site
