A few years ago, my wife and I had a connection in Seoul. I arranged for one night at a top-rated hotel and I contacted them in advance for arranging a car and driver (who spoke English) to drive us in the morning to the DMZ. Unfortunately, it was winter and before we reached the DMZ, the snow fell so hard we were forced to abort the drive. If circumstances permit, such a personal tour to the DMZ would be a memory for a lifetime.
