Following in the footsteps of Michael Palin - whose three-part North Korea series aired earlier this year - guests will get a unique insight into some of the world’s most unique cultures during Saga’s 13-day tour, Essence of South Korea and Japan.
The visit to the demilitarised zone is scheduled for the tour’s fourth day taking in Korean War monuments, a secret passage created for the North to infiltrate the South, viewpoints into the northern side and a United Nations military post.
Elsewhere in South Korea, the tour features the cities of Gyeongju, Busan and capital Seoul, including the 777-foot N Seoul communications tower with its all-round observation decks.
