Many of our tourists found North Korea (DPRK) the most exotic and unusual tourist destination in the world and named it the highlight of their travel experience. If you are looking for a sensational adventure, an expedition full with thrill and strong emotions, then there is nothing better then North Korea! Until very recently, it was hardly possible to obtain any adequate information about North Korea as a tourist destination. Indeed, the country is in real isolation. Only a few thousand people are granted entry to the DPRK every year, and tourists compose only a fraction of this number. Despite the fact that DPRK Embassies have been open in many countries of the world, only a handful of travel agencies offer tours to North Korea. New Korea Tours is the only US based travel agency specializing in group and independent tours to North Korea.  Please check out our prices - the lowest on the market.
