DMZ Tour with Gloster Hill Memorial Park
TAGY Travel Korea
The Korean peninsula is home to a single nation of people with the same language and ethnicity, divided into two countries. The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a buffer zone established on July 27, 1953, when the Armistice Agreement was signed during the Korean War. The DMZ Tour takes you to one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world.
This tour provides a unique opportunity to learn about the Korean War, the division of the Korean Peninsula, and ongoing peace efforts.
After touring the DMZ, you will visit Gloster Hill Memorial Park, a memorial park dedicated to the British Gloster Battalion, which fought a fierce battle at the foot of Gamaksan during the Korean War. Then, you will cross the Gamaksan Suspension Bridge, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Gamaksan Mountain before returning to Seoul.
