My family and I had an incredible time on this trip despite the weather! Stella was a great guide and both she and Jonathan are so knowledgeable. They were so kind and Stella made sure to give as much information as possible. Even if it was rainy, they made sure we could get the most out of the experience.
Everyone on the trip was so charismatic and fun, the pacing was great and we were able to do so much. It was such a great experience and was really a highlight for my family’s first trip to South Korea.
Thank you Stella for such a wonderful day! This was such a great visit to the DMZ and we would really recommend, I’d give more hearts if I could!

We were looking for options of seeing the DMZ with kids and this one turned out to be really great. A good combination of history, nature, food and the more every-day look at the DMZ and Korean countryside without crowds. The pace was great and our guide Jade was excellent - very helpful and nice.

This tour was really amazing! I lucked out and had Jade as the tour guide, it was funny and patient and very knowledgeable. We also lucked out because we had a another two or guide he was there as a paying customer and between the two of them it was a riot! Totally awesome. There was a lot of walking, and climbing lots of climbing stairs. But it was so interesting and informative, I highly recommend it. It probably helped that the other people on the tour were also very friendly and very helpful. Going to the tunnels and going to the observatory, was really enlightening to what it’s like on the other side of the border. And the threat that South Korea is always under. I really hope that they can when they figure a way to unite. I also have to mention we were almost home and I think that I was a little overcome by heat, and I got sick in the car. And everyone was so awesome and supportive I was blown away. The quality of people is just amazing. I was so embarrassed and so freaked out. And yet they were so calm And so helpful and so sweet. I just don’t even know how to praise them more. I give them 10 hearts if I could!

Overview
Explore Korea's war history with a DMZ tour in Cheorwon!
The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a buffer zone between South and North Korea. This Cheorwon DMZ tour includes a visit to the Labor Party Building, used by North Korea before the war, and the Battlefield of Baekma (White Horse) Hill, where one of the fiercest battles of the Korean War took place. You will also stop by the Cheorwon Peace Observatory, offering views across the border and insights into the area's military history.
