Premium DMZ Small-Group Tour with North Korean Defector Q&A

4.9(63)9 hFree cancellationBy PLK TRAVEL

About this activity

Go beyond a standard DMZ tour with PLK Travel's premium small-group experience, limited to just 13 travelers in a premium van, not a large coach.

Meet a North Korean Defector

Begin at our own North Korea Experience Center. See rare items and exhibits on daily life in North Korea, then meet a defector in person. In a small group, the live Q&A feels like a real conversation, with more chances to ask your own questions.

Explore the Essential DMZ Sites

Walk into the Third Infiltration Tunnel, dug by North Korea beneath the DMZ, and view North Korea from Dora Observatory. Stop at Imjingak Park, a symbolic site of Korea's division. Lunch stop at a local restaurant (own expense).

Gamaksan Suspension Bridge

Finish at the 150-meter Gamaksan Suspension Bridge, known as the Gloucester Heroes Bridge, honoring British soldiers of the Korean War. Enjoy a light walk with wide mountain views.
