2.Half-Day DMZ Tour Led by a Retired Military Officer

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,399 reviews · 6 hours · from $57

A half-day Seoul DMZ tour led by retired military officers, with top North Korea views, the 3rd Tunnel, and stops that explain division.

“The tour was excellent! Eddie was an incredible guide and was very good about getting us all engaged with conversation and really encouraged us to ask questions. My understanding of the DMZ and the history behind the separation of Korea has improved a lot. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning more. The observatory was the highlight for me! Started at 8 am and were back to Seoul by 3 pm.”

5.Half-Day Insa-dong Walking Gastroventure Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · from $109

3-hour guided walk through Seoul’s Insa-dong street with Korean street food, herb tea, lunch, and desserts, for $109 per person.

“Had a great time and very nice food and tea. Insadong might be easy enough to get around by yourself, but I recommend this tour mainly because Alan Han is an excellent and very knowledgeable tour guide. As I was the only one on the tour, we not only talked about Insadong but other areas of Seoul and he sent me information afterwards that I wanted. Thank you!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · from $350

Private east Jeju half-day for cruise guests, with haenyeo culture, Seongsan views, Seongeup Folk Village, Hamdeok and Gwangchigi beaches, pickup.

“Our guide Ko was wonderful. It was a very rainy day and our ship had shortened the time we would be in port by a lot, but Ko managed to find things we could see and do in the time we had. We would love to visit Jeju again sometime to see more of the island. Would definitely hire Ko again.”
