we were back after a full day tour at 6pm. The traffic getting back to Seoul was pretty heavy so take that into consideration. Could be before or later than that.

This tour only stops at two subway stops; however, both are centrally located so if you are close to the Dorasan stop you can ride the subway to one of those two. My guess is they occasionally change which central area stops from time to time so I suggest reaching out to them. They do not stop at specific hotels. I believe only the private tours stop at hotels.

It does not.

No, that is not possible. However, on this tour there is an Observatory stop where you can see over into North Korea including a mock city they built there. Also, you can see the North Korea and South Korea flags flying close to one another on each side of the border which was very interesting.

Hi - this particular tour did not include the JSA.

When we went on the tour last week, the couple on the bus next to us used their US military IDs at the checkpoint and did not have a problem. I would try to message the tour operator just to make sure as things seem to be very fluid with the military at the DMZ.

Unfortunately, our tour did not include JSA. According to the tour operator, the Korean military was limiting access to the JSA, and only a few tours were allowed to go there. Still, this was a wonderful tour.

When we went on the tour they did not pick us up. We had to meet in front of a centrally located hotel but it was relatively easy to find (first time in Seoul for us too).

No, they are on a time schedule though. It is a 20 min stop at the town right on the border of DMZ. They have a grocery store and also an ice cream shop. You can also use restroom. This was the final stop prior to heading back to Seoul.
