Whilst we cannot travel to the DPRK since January 2020; after our successful inaugural tour in 2022, we are once again happy to be able to promote a tour to Korea led by Greg Váczi.
Greg (who ran twenty-six of our groups to North Korea before the pandemic) lived and studied the Korean language full-time in Seoul for two years. He also completed a long study course in Korean at a university in Pyongyang, North Korea.
We strongly recommend him as both a Korean language and Korean history and culture expert.
His tour will appeal to all who want to travel to the DPRK at the moment but because of the closure of the country to tourism cannot currently visit. In the future, we hope Greg will be leading tours to the DPRK. But for the moment, this is your best opportunity to visit Korea.
The default rooming option for this tour is shared hotel room or minbak - Korean-style guest house - (one night). Each hotel room on tour has two separate beds. If you'd like a room to yourself then you can upgrade for an extra $50 USD per night. Please note that no single room supplement is available for the one night at minbak on Yeonpyeong-do.

Groups will be in the experienced hands of a local Korean guide and a Koryo Tours tour leader. Please note that when on tour your day-to-day itinerary may differ from what is advertised above. Given that many sites on tour are places of national security concerns, last-minute cancellations are also possible. Your tour leader will ensure, however, that everything available at the time is covered, and replacement options are provided where needed.
We will ensure to make the most of your days in Korea to guarantee the experience of a lifetime. After the tour, we will send out a list of all participants' emails so you can keep in touch, swap photos etc. If you do not wish to be on this list then please let us know.
Please apply by 15th September, 2023.
