American Tours North Korea - 2012
American Tours North Korea - US citizens have been allowed to travel to the DPRK in the past under certain restrictions. The DPRK authorites have told us that these restrictions will be lifted this year meaning that US citizens will be able to travel all year round.
We have been informed by the DPRK authorities that US citizens are still not able to enter or exit North Korea by train.
If you are a US citizen interested in a DPRK tour please refer to our general group tours below and we will keep you updated regarding any possible changes regarding DPRK travel policies towards Americans.
For tours leaving the DPRK on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays by train, please add€50 . For those leaving on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, please add €100 as you will be flying back with Air China and spending half an extra day in North Korea.
NOTE: It is possible to leave with Air Koryo on Wednesdays to go to Shenyang (the surcharge in this case is €50).
