Depart from Myeongdong or Hongdae in Seoul and explore the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) with an English-speaking guide to see the history of Korea's division up close. Descend into the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel to see this hidden history underground, and stand at Dora Observatory to look out over North Korea, so close yet still out of reach. You also visit the Unification Village. Depending on your option, add the Peace Gondola across the Imjin River with the JSA photo zone, the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge or a meeting with a North Korean defector.
