How much does a DMZ tour cost

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

Quick answerMost travelers book a guided DMZ tour, since you cannot enter on your own. Shared half day DMZ tours start from around 40 to 60 euros, full day tours from about 70 to 100 euros, and private tours cost more. A JSA add on, when it runs, is usually a separate higher fee. Lunch and pickup vary by tour.

Half day shared tour

A morning group tour with the Third Tunnel, Dora Observatory and transport from Seoul. The best value way to see the core DMZ sites.

Full day and private tours

A full day adds Imjingak, the Suspension Bridge and often a defector talk. Private tours cost more but give hotel pickup and a flexible pace.

JSA and extras

Access to the JSA at Panmunjom, when it is open, is a separate and pricier tour. Lunch, pickup point and small entry fees can also change the total.
