Explore the DMZ in Depth with a North Korean Defector

This tour goes beyond a typical DMZ visit to offer a deeper understanding of North Korea and the reality of the Korean Peninsula's division. Visit a dedicated North Korean Experience Center to hear firsthand accounts from defectors about their lives in North Korea and their escape experiences. A special live Q&A session allows you to ask questions directly to defectors. You can also explore various North Korean artifacts at the center, with some items available for purchase.
Afterward, you'll proceed to the DMZ to visit key sites such as the Third Tunnel, Dora Observatory, and Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park.
