2019 North Korea Group Tours
Please see our 2019 North Korea Group Tours below.
IMPORTANT: Group Size
Our group sizes are usually the smallest amongst agencies specialising in offering tours to the DPRK. In the very unlikely case of having 19 or more travellers we divide the group into two; each traveller with their own guides and vehicle.
Application Deadline
You are kindly asked to please apply by the application deadline at the latest, earlier if possible. Air Koryo currently do not always add extra flights on the same day so the earlier you apply for a tour the better in order to secure you a seat! If you apply after the application deadline we will be able to notify you within one business day if we can proceed with your application or not. Our partners can issue visas within 10 days before a tour departure but it can be hard to arrange transportation for late bookings so do please try to apply by the deadline!
Please scroll to the bottom of the page for exact details on what rates include.

Tour Extensions
Pyongyang Bike Tours
We now offer you the chance to extend any of your trips in the DPRK and enjoy a bike tour through Pyongyang. This is a magnificent way of exploring the streets of Pyongyang and of interacting with locals.
Border Tours
Tour Extensions - you may want to read about our Sinuiju extensions which now include a visit to Dongrim. This is available as you leave the DPRK (there is no need to exit the country and re-enter).
This extension is only available for those entering and/or exiting North Korea by train.
We offer too tours in the Chinese border of Dandong and around China. Do please contact us for more information.
IMPORTANT: Train vs Plane
We strongly recommend travellers to take the train at least once as it allows us not only to see more of the DPRK as we ride through rural areas and second tier cities, but it also gives us the chance meet Koreans who are leaving the country. Interacting, chatting and having drinks with them is always a fascinating experience and something taking the train gives us the chance to experience. There are usually business people, sports teams, workers, soldiers and delegations on the train. Basically we will have the chance to meet Koreans of all walks of life on the train, something not possible to do on the plane, which is why we recommend taking the train at least on one leg of the trip.
