DMZ with the Expert

HISTORY, INSIGHTS, IMPRESSIONS

Discover the 38th parallel with an expert.

If you want to understand Korea and its people, you cannot ignore the country’s history. The Korean War has shaped the country and its people to this day. A visit to the demilitarized zone – the DMZ – is therefore an absolute must for any trip to Korea.

Why has South Korea risen from the ashes of war to become an “Asian Tiger”? What role does Switzerland play in the DMZ and South Korea? And why is it more important today than ever to take a neutral, impartial view of world events? You will get answers to these and many other questions on this exclusive tour, led by your expert, Daniel Thomas Faller.

As a former officer in the Swiss army, he spent three years working for the NNSC (Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission) in Panmunjeom, right on the border with North Korea. Immerse yourself in exciting background stories, fact-filled contexts, and personal impressions directly from the border area.

DMZ with the Expert

On this tour, you will be picked up directly from your hotel in Seoul. After an approximately one-hour drive, we reach the Odusan viewing platform, from where we get an initial overview of the DMZ border area and a glimpse of North Korea. We continue to visit the Camp Greaves, which served as a military base for the 506th US Infantry Division for over 50 years. There you will receive an introduction to the Korean War and visit the NNSC Museum.

After lunch together in a typical small Korean restaurant, we return to Seoul.
