Things you need to know:
1) Sometimes tours are cancelled because of military activities. Such decisions are made by the military personnel and not the tour operators so don't get mad at them.
2) Obey photo rules and generally, JUST OBEY your tour guides because they know the do's and don'ts inside DMZ. You don't want to be touching bombs and get caught having selfies with the North Koreans and be in the headline the next day right? But if your tour guides tell you you can take photos, go ahead and take lots of it!

3) Some nationalities are prohibited inside JSA Tours. For more details about the nationalities, check out this site for the complete list.
4) Dress properly. This is not the fashion lane and not the best place for your #OOTD. Dress neat and presentable--no ripped jeans, flip-flops, sexy/provocative clothes or text/design, no gym clothes, sleeveless shirts, tank tops, and baggy clothes. Just a side story, when I learned about this dress code, I changed my bright yellow top to black fearing I can easily be spotted by North Korean soldiers haha! I'd rather stay low key and blend with the majority ;)
5) Consider the weather because it might impact your overall tour experience. Also most of the time, it is difficult to get a glimpse of North Korea at the observatory because of the fog or clouds. Good thing when we visited, it was clear despite the rain a day before.
