Imjingak, a symbol of Korean reunification desire, is a unique theme park featuring rides alongside barbed wire fences.

2.
Bridge on Imjingang River, crossed by 13,000 POWs in 1953 during the Korean War, symbolizes their "return to freedom."
3. DMZ
Korea's DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a military demarcation zone between North and South Korea, where military activities are prohibited. It remains a significant symbol of division on the Korean Peninsula since the Korean War.
4. The Third Tunnel
The DMZ tour's highlight includes exploring a North Korean tunnel, possibly for military purposes, with the 3rd tunnel extending 435 meters into South Korea. Visitors can also watch a documentary, view Korean War relics, and learn about the tunnel's discovery.
5. Dora Observatory
Dora Observatory provides a close-up view of North Korea, including Gaeseong City and the Gaeseong Industrial Complex. Visitors can also see a fake North Korean border village called "Propaganda Village," where lights are manipulated to create the illusion of activity.
6. Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park
Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park ( Pass By)

Han (solo) was a great guide! He gave us lots of interesting insights into the DMZ and the facilities we saw. A real highlight was getting the opportunity to ask questions directly to a North Korean defector. It was absolutely fascinating to openly ask questions and hear her experiences. I can massively recommend this tour!

Han Solo was a fantastic guide. He gave us a lot of interesting facts and information about North Korea. We also had a guest on the bus, who was a North Korean defector. Ms Jo shared her experiences with us, which was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour and especially hope you get to spend the day with Han!

SP, our tour guide and Ms Park, the young lady who defected from North Korea provided a great educational experience into life in North Korea and reason for division between the 2 Koreas. Highly recommended trip and a great experience.

SP is a wonderful guide and is very knowledgeable. It was great talking to Miss Pak who shared her experiences with us. The lookout, tunnel and information make the day well worth it. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great. The village was not what we expected and was just a food and souvenir shop. Not able to walk around as we would have liked to.

Very fun and great experience, as we went to many insightful and historical spots around the border. The tour was very informing and a good time overall. However, parts of the tour felt very rushed, such as the 20 minute break at the end for lunch (if you wanted), as there wasn’t ever a solid time period for a long eating period in the 8 hour long tour, from 7-3
