I did a search but can't find anything.
Anyone done a DMZ tour lately? I want to book one, but I don't know which is the best. I remember people saying the USO one is good, but I am just wondering about others. The one we go on has to go to the JSA because without that, it sucks.
Anyways, any recommendations would be great because it is for my parents. |

| The USO tour is the best because your tour guides are uniformed U.S. soldiers. And yes, you go to the DMZ. |

Seriously? Search for "dmz and tour" (don't use the quote marks, but use the and).
If you've got a car and time, check out aegibong as well. It's popular with Koreans, but little known to the waegs.

Dev, you took the tour yourself? What all did you see? Specifics would be great. The website isn't real specific. |

Yeah, I have been to aegibong twice. First time it was typical smog, second time it was crystal clear out. I like it there.
When I searched DMZ tour, I just got posts about everything. |

Have you been down the back road that goes along the coast? And up to the bunker?

Did you use "and"? That reduces some of the clutter. |

Ths USO Tour includes the DMZ, 3 rd Tunnel and the Observation center.
The other obvious plus, is that the tour is in ENGLISH. If you go with a Korean company, your Korean language skills must be pretty good. |

I definitely didn't know about the back road. Is that also once you go in past the checkpoint? Maybe, I will check it out for a 3rd time. |
