All our tour prices are fully inclusive from Beijing into the DPRK and back to Beijing. This covers the cost of return flight Beijing-Pyongyang- Beijing, all travel within the DPRK, meals, tour guides, and twin room accommodation in the 4 star hotel. For single travellers we will try to find a same-sex member of the group for you to share with or you can opt for a single room at a cost $80.00 per night. The tariff excludes Pyongyang airport tax (approximately $15), your additional expenses (souvenirs, extra drinks, etc) and optional tips for the guides and driver.
We still offer the very good value for money, our tours are the best available due to our many years experience, we accompany more tours than any other company so we are on the scene to make constant improvements and our long-standing relationship and weekly communication with our Korean counterparts means we are much more hands-on that anyone else.
Important If you choose to take a tour then you must begin the application procedure at least four weeks before the departure date (…in some circumstances we can get it process in under two weeks but normally it is a long bureaucratic process). |
