A Different Side of Korea
Samantha Jane Brooks, August 5, 2026

The DMZ experience gave us a completely different perspective of Korea. It wasn’t just another sightseeing attraction—it was educational and meaningful. The explanations helped us understand the history behind the places we visited. I recommend adding this experience for travelers who want something beyond shopping and sightseeing in Seoul.

Потрясающий тур с отличным гидом и увлекательной историей Кореи
Dmitry Petrov, August 1, 2026

Это был потрясающий тур, который позволил нам больше узнать об отношениях между Северной и Южной Кореей. Больше всего меня впечатлила обсерватория. Огромное спасибо нашему гиду Эрику, который всегда был с улыбкой, отлично и понятно рассказывал историю разделения Кореи в каждом месте и с удовольствием отвечал на все наши вопросы. Он также нашёл время, чтобы сфотографировать каждого из нас!

Interesting experience
James Anderson, July 31, 2026

The tour was so interesting and informative as we went to the beautiful majang lake, the 3rd tunnel of aggression and the observatory. Interesting experience as we were able to see North Korea upclose at the observatory and observed the citizens. This tour is definitely a must-go, especially for those who are interested in the history of korea and the North-South relations.

DMZ: A Journey Through History, Hope & Peace
INGRID, July 26, 2026

Visiting the DMZ was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our Korea trip. It’s more than just a tourist destination—it’s a place where history comes alive and reminds you of the sacrifices made for peace.

Walking across the peaceful bridge, exploring the exhibits, and seeing the iconic monuments gave us chills. Every stop had a powerful story, and learning about the Korean War and the division of the peninsula made us appreciate Korea’s resilience even more. The atmosphere is quiet, emotional, and incredibly meaningful.

A huge thank you to Nolja Korea for organizing everything so smoothly. The itinerary was well-planned, transportation was comfortable, and our guide explained every location with passion and knowledge, making the experience even more memorable.

If you’re visiting South Korea, don’t skip the DMZ. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that offers not only amazing photo opportunities but also a deeper understanding of Korean history and the importance of peace. Highly recommended! 💙🇰🇷✨ The DMZ is widely regarded as a unique destination because it combines history, education, and powerful symbolism, which many visitors describe as the highlight of their Korea trip.

难忘的韩国DMZ之旅:历史、文化与美景的完美体验
李娜, July 3, 2026

第三隧道需要走一段陡峭的下坡路和上坡路,隧道内的天花板也比较低,走起来有点像是在锻炼大腿,但最后的惊喜绝对值得!甘岳山吊桥同样需要爬一段陡坡,不过沿途的美景真的令人惊叹。幸运的是,无法爬上去的朋友附近也有舒适、阴凉的地方可以休息。

午餐时,他们带我们去了一家当地餐厅,品尝了美味的韩式人参鸡汤。整个行程的历史、文化和自然风光都令人印象深刻。这绝对是一个值得体验的行程!明年我们一定会再次预订这家旅行社的行程!

The whole day enjoyable and easy to follow
Madison Wilson, June 6, 2026

The places were really beautiful! but be warned, be ready to walk/“hike” up the hills everywhere. Bring water or something to cool you down. It’s like going around a huge place surrounded by beautiful flowers and all. The other spots were also nice 🙂 Easy pickup, just be at the meet up point on time, then you’ll get dropped off at the same area or at the other drop off points if you want.

DMZ hassle-free!
MARISSA ALDA, May 24, 2026

Our DMZ day trip with NoljaKorea was such a memorable experience! The itinerary was well planned, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our friendly driver made the trip even more enjoyable and helped us feel comfortable throughout the day. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore the DMZ hassle-free!

Great Experience in DMZ!
ROGER, May 2, 2026

The DMZ Tunnel was one of the most unforgettable parts of our Korea trip. Walking deep underground through the actual infiltration tunnel built by North Korea gave me chills. Seeing it in person made the history between North and South Korea feel so much more real than anything I had read in books. It’s amazing how this hidden tunnel, once intended for military infiltration, has been preserved as a reminder of the Korean Peninsula’s past and the importance of peace today. A truly eye-opening experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Korea—it’s not just a tourist spot, but a journey through history. 🇰🇷⛏️✨
