USO, you go into "NK territory" inside a building.

The tunnel tour is not part of the USO tour and is frankly a waste of time..

Just do the USO one.. the other ones offered by places like adventurekorea are crap.

The tunnel was part of the USO tour I did. But it was a waste of time.

The tunnel, part of the USO tour, is awesome. You go underground about 100 meters from the NK border. You learn a lot from the tour guide.

Is it true that they dont allow American citizens to do these tours into NK?

You go with the USO, a US military organization, and the only people who can't go on the USO tour are Korean citizens (unless they have a green card to live in the USA).

From the USO Korea FAQ:

By Metro: We are located at the Samgakji Metro Station (blue or brown line). Go out Exit 10 and walk north one block (towards Seoul Station).

Camp Kim is where the actual USO office is located. From Samgakji station, walk about 5 minutes north. It's on your left hand side. Enjoy the tour - it's pretty interesting, and well worth it.
