For the DMZ tour we first visited historically significant parts of Seoul where North Korean commandos had infiltrated as an assassination attempt of the president of South Korea. Later we visited Imjingak Peace Park where we checked out numerous exhibits and had views of North Korea from a high vantage point. The final part of our Korea DMZ tour was to visit a South Korean DMZ military camp. Overall, I would highly recommend the tour.
The Korean Duck Barbecue was absolutely delicious. With communal seating, we gathered around a grill where the meat was first cooked, flipped and then sliced into pieces with scissors. To eat it Korean style, we grabbed a piece of meat and put it on top of lettuce before adding rice, onions and ssamjang sauce. This really gave it some extra kick, spice, and juiciness.
Thank you to KTO (Korea Tourism Organization) for making this trip possible.

Korea DMZ Spy Tour (South Korea & North Korea Border) + Eating Korean Barbecue Duck:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
Our most recent trip was to South Korea where I embarked upon a two-week adventure without Audrey. Invited as part of a YouTube vlogging trip, organized by KTO, I spent the first week traveling with other YouTubers in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. My second week included independent exploration of Korea with my good friend and fellow YouTuber David of DavidsBeenHere.
Having lived and traveled in South Korea, the chance to return to one of my favorite countries was one of the biggest surprises of 2019. On this particular trip, I had an opportunity to do many things I had not previously covered including a visit to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea), a Buddhist Temple Stay and a Korean cooking class. It was almost as if the program designed by KTO knew exactly what I had missed out on before.
Obviously, a huge highlight from the two weeks I spent revisiting Korea was the food. I feasted on all of my favorite Korean dishes including Korean barbecue, dolsot bibimbap, haemul pajeon, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap and many others. I can honestly say that Korean food is world-class and is one of my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world. Aside from trying familiar dishes, I had the opportunity to sample raw Korean seafood for the first time.
While visiting Seoul, highlights included going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Jogyesa Temple and Hongdae. As one of the biggest cities in the world, I barely scratched the surface of things to do in Seoul.
Spending extended time in Busan was my favorite part about the trip with top highlights including a Korean temple stay, fresh fish markets and a Korean baseball game. It was from Busan that we ended up taking a day-trip to Daegu where we enjoyed a traditional Korean market and tried Galbi-Jjim for the first time.
