Travel to North Korea?
From where? From Seoul?
So many people still suspiciously asking us! Our answer is always same ¡°of course!!!¡±

Tour to Mt. Kumgang & Kaesong became a symbol of peacemaking for future of North & South Korea. So this place is no longer segregation place to visit. Now days this place is fully opened to people who wants to visit. Even American can also visit and enjoy these places.

This tour has been started over 10 years from year 1999. First transportation was by ship and bus for now to cross over DMZ and demarcation line.
Tour to Kaesong is also wonderful idea. It only takes 2 hours drive to North side from Seoul. It can be all done by one day.

Now Korean peninsula became new place to visit and experience. Seoul is the starting point.

 

 
 
 
- Trip Length : 1 Day
- Begins in : Seoul
- Departure Date : Special (with tour guide) : 2nd, 4th Saturday
- Highlights : Pass DMZ, Parkyeun waterfall, Goryeo museum, Kaesong City, Kaesong industrial complex.

Leave from Seoul, Daily tour to Kaesong!

Now we can only drive for 2 hours to visit North Korea “Kaesong” Over the DMZ area, see more North side, which we were always kept on our mind as Symbol of Calmness and division. It's time for you to feel the same as president of South Korea who visits North Korea on Oct 2007 for inter-Korean summit meeting.
Early starts from Seoul and spend a wonderful day In North Korea, feel the full of nature and back to Seoul in the night.
