Tours & Tour Dates

Independent Tours

An independent tour is a great way to travel to the country if you don't want to travel as part of a group, or your travel dates don't match our group tour dates. With an independent tour you can choose your dates of travel, methods of entry and exit and also the itinerary can be tailored to suit your requests. As with our group tours, we offer different standards of independent tours for different cost. Independent tours are more expensive than group tours but do offer more flexibility.

 

NOTE: Sadly, as of January 29th, we cannot apply for any tours which enter the DPRK between April 7th-20th this year due to a limit on the number of hotel rooms at that time. If there is any change in this situation we will update our website accordingly. Apologies for this limitation, tours at all other times are unaffected.

 

Please contact us for our very detailed independent tours brochure which includes information on itineraries, hotels and flights/train. Tours of almost any length are available, the sample itineraries below are simple 4 night programs but we can put together a custom tour of any length for you, just drop us a line!

 

＊Effective from March 1st 2010 we will be adding a 50 Euro per person surcharge to any tour travelling by train. This is in response to the decision by the Chinese and DPRK railway authorities to increase the ticket prices by this amount without prior notice. Koryo Tours are unable to absorb this increase and regrettably have no option other than to add this surcharge to all of our tours using the train. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused by this policy change.

 

Please note for tours visiting the Mt. Kumgang area we have to add a surcharge of 25 Euros per person.

 

All tours are open to US citizens and we welcome all applications from Americans who wish to travel, however at present there is still a policy in DPRK restricting US nationals from leaving the country by train. Departure by plane is also available for non-US tourists, please inform us at the time of booking if you would like to take this option. As soon as train travel becomes available for US tourists we will offer this option.

*Flight exit options: If you wish to exit by plane, rather than taking the train these are the options:

- AIR KORYO OPTION: Flying with Air Koryo involves a surcharge of 50 Euros.

- AIR CHINA OPTION: Flying with Air China involves a surcharge of 120 Euro single (200 euro if flying both ways)

 

NOTE: Please be aware that Air China tickets at peak times tend to sell out fast and they do not add extra flights. If you are intending to fly with this airline then please book the tour ideally a minimum of 4 weeks in advance and if tickets become unavailable a change in dates may be necessary. In addition, the prices of the tickets often fluctuates and so we may have to pass on an additional surcharge if necessary.

 

KORYO TIP: We love travelling to DPRK with Air Koryo - not only do they give us a good price but we have flown on it every month since 1993 and the tour really starts off beautifully with the bright red air hostesses, the free Pyongyang Times and in flight revolutionary lecture.
