Koridoor DMZ day tour

We took the DMZ tour offered through the USO by Koridoor. The tour was an amazing experience. We went during the week and other than a group of rowdy school kids, the stops weren't that crowded. The tour started at 11 and we didn't eat until 5 so it's a good idea to bring snacks for the bus. The stop at the third tunnel was interesting although a little challenging for folks that weren't in the best shape. The Koridoor guide's English wasn't very good and she was difficult to follow but she tried hard. The Army Private First Class that led our tour at Camp Bonifas was a great speaker with hysterical anecdotes. We had to skip the bridge of no retun due to N. Korean activity but we saw everything else. The experience was very memorable and well done- I highly recommend it.

We took the DMZ combined tour with a company named TOUR DMZ and had a wonderful experience. We took our tour in October, 2012 during our visit to SK and found the company to be very efficient, polite and organised. I booked our tour via emails and they were very responsive and helpful. The tour itself was very well planned and our English Tourguide Jenny was really knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I recommend this tour company to anyone who wishes to visit the DMZ. We took the all day combined tour and was very happy with their service.

Unforgettable experience. My son booked this USO tour for us, having heard it was the best tour. Later, when we compared notes, it turned out he was right. We saw far more sights than he had on another tour. The US Army were great, experienced hosts. Got great photos of North Korea!

would have been better if it hadnt been for the fog! was still a worthy experience to see such an important area. tour guide was very informative, is quite interesting in all. probably best to learn a bit more about it before you get there, so you you are applying a visual and personal experience to something you have read about.

We wanted to go on the Panmunjom tour but this was not available. I think it was due to the nuclear summit going on. So instead we went on the other tour which consists of Imjingak Park, Tunnel, Dora Observatory and a train station. On the whole the tour was disappointing because it was far too crowded. There are huge numbers of tourists and coaches at every attraction and you get herded around like sheep and there is a very limited time you can spend at each attraction. Imjingak Park - stop off for toilet, no time to look around. Tunnel - dangerously overcrowded, must be young and fit to go there. Serious lack of guards / officials to limit the crowds. If there had been any emergency in the tunnel (e.g. power failure), there would have been panic and stampede. Dora observatory was good, you can look through powerful binoculars into N. Korea (hint take some 500 won coins), the train station is nothing to much to write about. It is new and unused. I think it cost 46000 won per person and we were collected at 0800 from the hotel and dropped back at 1430 in Itaewon. They don't drop you back at the hotel. Take some snacks and drinks for the tour.

Tour Itinerary

With the 1000-year history, Russia has had a rich portfolio of conflicts, battles, wars. On this Soviet tour, we'll talk about various wars that happened in Russia, focusing on WWII.

Mother Russia has undergone a lot in its long life. Since ancient times, Russian rulers have taken nearly all political power into their own hands. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian oppositional movement was deadly set for the total destruction of the ever-lasting tsarist regime. All of Russia got involved in the bloody revolution of 1917 in an effort to abolish the current state of the government and gain freedom for the ordinary people.

You will learn about the every-day life of the Soviet people during the bloody Second World War with the Nazis, including the legendary Battle for Moscow, the 900-day siege of Leningrad, the hardships that local citizens went through, the consequences of the war and the scars it left on the Soviet people, as well as why the Cold War happened and what was the fundamental reason.

Our mission on the Soviet Russia tour is to find out

• - How much this 1917 revolution cost the people;
• - Whether they actually got the freedom they wanted and was it worth it;
• - What happened over the next 74 years;
• - Who were the main political communist leaders of the Soviet Union;
• - Were Russians happy and satisfied with the Soviet Union?

Our tour itinerary will lie in most Soviet areas of Moscow, which are quite spread throughout the city, as very few of them are left. You can choose how much you are ready to live this Soviet life on a 5, 7 or 10-hour tour. Depending on the duration of the tour, you will see part or all of the places below:

If you want to extend the tour, you are welcome to do so by paying $20/extra hour in cash on the tour.

Time stands still in Red Square. The Red Square is the heart of Moscow (and whole Russia). Saint Basil's Cathedral will make your mouth drop. If it is from May-October, have a cocktail on the outside terrace and simply people watch! The massive square offers so much to enjoy.

Lenin's Mausoleum

The burial place of one of the most influential communist leaders in the world.

Revolution Square Metro Station

Rub the Soviet dog's nose for good luck and admire the 76 bronze sculptures, devoted to the passionate, strong-willed and patriotic Soviet people.

Poklonnaya Hill

The highest point in Moscow, where Napoleon waited for keys of the city.

All-Russian Exhibition Center (VVC)

With its giant arch, amazing fountain, and huge pavilions of different Soviet Republics.

Victory Park Metro Station

The deepest undeground station in Moscow and one of the deepest in the world.

Victory Park

For an open-air museum as big as 135 ha (1 350 000 square meters), Victory park sure doens't lack diversity. The park is dedicated to the Russian victory in WWII, and was laid out in 1995 in commemoration of 50-year anniversary of victory.

Stalin had planned for its construction already in 1941, being sure of victory from the very start of the war.

Greeting Hill

The highest points in Moscow (172 meters), where Napoleon waited for keys of Moscow in vain.

Triumphal Arch

Stunning monument consisting of 12 cast-iron columns, each 12 meters high, and weighing 16 tons. Built to mark Russia's victory over Napoleon in 1812.

Museum of the Great Patriotic War

In the city that is as much about wars as it is about victories, there is one essential stopover - the Museum of the Great Patriotic War (that's what WWII is called in Russia). Must-do for those wishing to understand Russia's past and look at the whole war from the different perspective - Russian.

The museum is not for the faint-hearted. Here you can see films about the partisan experience, the scenes that will haunt you forever (no subtitles, but they are not necessary).

Museum of Contemporary History (from outside only)

We'll have a glance at Russian life of the XX century in the  Museum of Contemporary History , which houses bits of everything from Russian history of XXth century: from English club to a storage of Stalin's presents.

Memorial to the Holocaust,

devastating and breath-taking!

Unleash your inner spy. Highly recommended  Bunker-42 ,  Cold War Museum , explore the place where Khrushchev lived during the Cuban Crisis. Go down 18 floors to a gigantic bunker under Moscow that was designed to withstand a nuclear attack. Watch a short film about the severity of the Cold War. If you lived through the Cold War, you will hardly believe it is possible that you are in Bunker 42!

Wander through  Sparrow Hills  and climb up to the highest observation deck of Moscow with stunning views of all seven Stalin’s skyscrapers, including  Moscow State University . After that, experience the excitement of taking a  river cruise  on the Moscow river and catch the views of the Kremlin and Soviet times.​
