The US Army USO does tours. We took one last January. Sadly, I wasn't impressed with the Korean tour guides English. Luckily, they have to ditch him at a certain point, and an American soldier takes over (Koreans aren't allowed past a certain point unless they're soldiers serving in that area).

Ji Yeon is the name of the USO girl I booked through online ([email protected]). She answers mail pretty quick, and you can pay in cash on the morning of the tour. I booked for November 12th 2 days ago so there still might be places on that tour. She sends a map/times etc, and from what I have heard, USO offers the best tour. Starts at 7am from USO office in Yongsan.

I took the USO tour about a year and a half ago and it was pretty good. The disappointment was that we were not able to take pictures at the Dora Observatory in a way that you could get a good look across the boarder.
