These tours cover which trails you get time for, whether Sinheungsa temple and the coastal town are included, and how the day changes between the autumn colour weeks and the rest of the year, when the buses are half as full.

A private DMZ tour from Sokcho with Goseong border viewpoints, the DMZ Museum, North Korean cuisine, and a traditional village in one day.
