Private or group DMZ tour

By the DMZ Tour Tickets Editorial Team · Published from Seoul, South Korea

Quick answerA group DMZ tour is the most affordable and social way to visit, sharing a bus and guide with other travelers on a set route. A private tour costs more but gives hotel pickup, a flexible pace and a guide to yourselves, which suits families, photographers and anyone who wants a tailored day. Both cover the same core DMZ sites.

Group tours

The best value option. You share a bus and guide with others on a fixed itinerary, which is efficient and a friendly way to meet people.

Private tours

More expensive, but you get hotel pickup, a flexible schedule and a private guide. Ideal for families, photographers and small groups.

Which to choose

Choose a group tour to save money and meet people, or a private tour for comfort, flexibility and a pace set entirely by you.
