Why Choose Koryo Tours?

As you will understand, all tours to North Korea are NOT the same. Koryo Tours has been (since 1993) building strong and lasting relationships with our partners in Pyongyang and we give you the best travel experience to North Korea. We are recognised in guide books and the travel industry as the only true specialist in travel to the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea.

We'll get you closer to the local people, provide you with the best guides , give you more detailed and accurate information about the country and what goes on there, and even get you to places that other groups cannot access.

All our group tours are accompanied by Koryo Tours' experienced staff. Each of our senior staff visits the country more than 10 times per year. This level of familiarity, the strength of our relationship with North Korean individuals and institutions, and our longevity in the business enables Koryo Tours to go way beyond the basic itineraries .
Don't just take our word for it: Google us, check out some of the many travelogues and tour diaries put online by our previous clients, testaments and links to travelogues

Koryo Tours is a British-owned legally registered company operating a representative office in Beijing, the doorway to the DPRK, and we are members of PATA, Pacific Asia Travel Association.

 

OUR EXPERIENCE

Since its inception in 1993, Koryo Tours has operated hundreds of tours and taken thousands of people to North Korea. We have also organised school trips and sports events (football, volleyball, ice hockey and even cricket which we introduced to North Korea and which has now become the national sport – well, perhaps some time in the future!)

We have made 3 award-winning documentaries, and are finishing off our first feature film shot in Pyongyang. It's a comic love story about a coal miner who wants to be an acrobat. We are also foreign co-ordinator of the Pyongyang Film Festival.

 

We thank you for your trust and interest in our tours, we can guarantee that if you decide to travel with Koryo Tours that you will get the best possible tourist experience in North Korea
