Embark on a deeply emotional journey that takes you through the heart of Korea’s painful past, where bravery, sacrifice, and relentless resistance shaped the nation’s path to independence. Prepare yourself for a day of reflection, learning, and honouring the unwavering spirit of those who stood up against oppression.

The tour begins at 9:30 AM when you meet your guide at Dongnimmun Station Exit 5. From here, you will step into the dark and harrowing history of Seodaemun Prison History Hall, where Korean freedom fighters—many of them students—were imprisoned, tortured, and executed for daring to resist. As you walk through the cold, dimly lit cells and gaze upon the torture chambers, you’ll feel the intense weight of their suffering and sacrifice. Every corner of this place echoes with stories of courage, of people who gave everything for the dream of a free Korea.

Next, you’ll make your way to Dongnimmun Arch at 11:10 AM, a solemn yet powerful symbol of Korea’s lost sovereignty. Built to celebrate the nation's independence, this arch later became a witness to the crushing reality of Japanese colonisation.

Your journey continues to Dilkusha at 11:30 AM, the former residence of Albert W. Taylor, an American journalist who exposed Japan’s brutal rule to the world. This Western-style home, nestled quietly in the city, carries the weight of the international efforts to shine a light on Korea’s suffering.

Follow the footsteps of the March 1st Movement, a nationwide uprising that became the foundation of Korea’s liberation efforts. The final stop end at Tapgol Park 13:00 PM. It was here, in 1919, where the first cries for independence reverberated through the streets, sparking a nationwide uprising that would eventually lead to Korea’s freedom.

Feel the heartbreak, courage, and unyielding spirit of those who shaped Korea’s path to freedom. This is more than a tour—it’s a powerful journey through oppression, defiance and Korea’s fight for freedom. Join us on this unforgettable journey of reflection, respect and remembrance. It’s a chance to connect with the past, to understand the struggle, and to feel the pride of a nation that fought for its freedom.
