United Service Organizations
The United Service Organizations, the US military’s entertainment wing, organises tours for American troops, and civilians from most countries are welcome to come along. Twice a week the USO runs the best tours to the DMZ, Panmunjeom and the Third Tunnel. Other all-day tours include the historical and unspoilt island of Ganghwado (US$28) and white-water rafting excursions (US$49) out in the wilds of Gangwon-do. In winter, skiing trips are organised.
