Do you mean the DMZ tour or something other than the DMZ tour?
You can get information at the tourist info booth in Itaewon for the USO tour or do a google search for DMZ tour for the others. |

Thank you...
Anyone have a ballpark figure for how much one of these tours costs? |

Is that whole thing on the up and up? I went to their website and it looked amazing, bordering on the too-good-to-be-true. No legal issues? |

What BS. A mountain is a mountain. Is it really that badass of a mountain?
WhoTF pays 350 g's to see a mfing mountain where you can't take pictures, in all likelihood?
Stupidity. |

There's also a trip to the North Korean city of Gaesong for about 200,000 won. |

Unfortunately that USO tour doesn't have any scheduled tours for the 22nd or 23rd when I was hoping to go. Can anyone recommend another one in the same price range ($44)?.
edit: Nevermind I found one through www.iloveseoultour.com (46,000) |
