From Seoul: DMZ, Gyeongbokgung Palace & City Tour

9 hours and 30 minutes

Easy

Experience Korea's most popular tourist spots on this 10-hour tour of DMZ & Gyeongbok Palace.
  • Explore the historical and cultural heritage of Korea at the Demilitarized Zone and Gyeongbok
  • Visit an exhibition center to learn about the past, present and future of Korea’s culture and politics
  • See a tunnel dug by North Korea at the DMZ
  • Relax in a coach as you visit all the DMZ's main sights

    Since 1950, Korea has been divided into the North and South. North Korea has become more closed off, while South Korea continues to develop as a democracy and leading economy, sharing its culture with the rest of the world. The DMZ area is the only place that you can see the reality of the most divided nation in the world. This tour includes a military tourist guide, shuttle vehicle, and entrance fees to a venue that helps to explain the history of war. Your tour guides are professional security specialists, allowing you to learn about North and South Korean relations. Visit the Third Tunnel Experience, which was designed to invade South Korea by tanks, the observatory where you can view North Korean residents, the War History Pavilion, and Imjingak. Experience every aspect of the DMZ area.    You will also visit Gyeongbok Palace, where the king, his family and 2000 others previously lived as they ruled the nation. Be fascinated as you hear how the palace was run more like a modern day business - with employees and advisers - rather than as the royal-only complex that you might expect.
