- The JSA tours are open in March 2023 and I was lucky to take one of the first. Also saw DMZ sights. A very long day but it was worth every penny. We met at Seoul Plaza and left at about 5:30 AM and got back at about 4:45 PM.
I went with VIP Travel based out of Seoul and they were great. Here is their website to book a tour:

Nancy was our guide and spoke perfect English, she was excellent. GO TEAM NANCY!!
In 1983 I was one of the JSA Tour Guides (SP4 Hall). Quite a lot has changed in the details I see but mostly it has stayed the same. In a 6-month period I gave tours to over 10,000 people from about 108 different countries. The place has a lot of sad history and based on North Korea's behavior that is not changing anytime soon. I never had the opportunity to take the full tour myself, yet it is and always will be an incredible experience.
Thanks for that info, i appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
I was stationed at Camp Liberty Bell in 85.
That’s crazy! You went to the blue buildings! I’m watching this video and now planning my trip❤❤❤ love from poland
Glad you liked the video!! Most DMZ tours DO NOT include the JSA (the blue buildings) so you really need to look around and find one that does. I don’t think there are many. Have a great trip!!
Thank you for sharing this video!❤
You’re welcome, although I think the tours have been temporarily suspended now.
KOREA Is ONE. REUNIFICATION for PEACE, PROGRESS, PROSPERITY.
EXCELLENT video. I am in the midst of planning a 3 week trip to Seoul and the DMZ is on my agenda. I will book with the company you recommended.
There are a limited number of JSA tours so I recommend booking as far ahead as possible. In fact a a few months ago, when that US soldier ran into North Korea, they stopped the JSA tours. I assume they’re running them again, but I’m not 100% sure.
This is so cool, so unfortunate that the tours are so limited tho
It is very unfortunate. Hopefully things will loosen up. Thanks for watching!
I was visit dmz in friday but sadly JSA is closed because 1 guys american enter to north
Thanks for watching! Hope it opens back up soon!
unbelievable... so exciting.... How to book this tour? And the price? Thank for sharing!
I linked the tour company in the description. The cost was about $150 US. Definitely higher than other DMZ-only tours but worth it to me.
Hello this is so cool! May I ask you where you booked your tour ? And if its open to anyone ? Or military?
It was through VIP Travel in Seoul. Right now I believe there are only a few tours available every month from what our guide told us. The tours are open to everyone. I thought VIP did a great job and seeing the JSA was a bucket list item for me.
I leave tomorrow, to korea. Where did you book your tour?? Please help 😊
It’s linked in the description but I think they are sold out until June, sorry.
@90293Mike I'm sorry, Mike. I got excited and just commented. Lol, my apologies it def is in your description
Hi. Amazing experience. Can you share the tour guide phone or website?
I linked it up in the description. Thanks for watching!!
Hi, May I know how to buy the JSA ticket? I’m going to Korea on May, I hope I can visit to JSA too, please guide me on that, much appreciated 🥲🥲🥲
I included a link in the description to the tour company I used. However it looks like they are already sold out for May ☹ Thanks for watching!
In 2016 November I was there but without the blue buildings / houses.
I just booked mine for June, it was about $150 USD. Im very happy I was able to get a tour for the week I will be in Korea!
@@RuffmanTravels That’s what I paid. At first I thought that was high, as the typical DMZ tour is less than $100. But after taking the tour, I felt it was worth every penny to be able to see the JSA. Thanks for watching!
Terrible tour guide. Not knowing/correcting himself. He and his commanding officer(s) should know better.
👎🏿
Whoa!!
