Regardless of which tour you take, we give all tourists a pre-tour briefing to ensure you are fully prepared for - and will get the most out of - this unique trip. We therefore require all tourists to arrive in Beijing ONE DAY BEFORE DEPARTURE to attend a 4PM briefing.

Optional 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.

TOUR APPLICATION
Please note that although we have been assured that the Mass Games and tours for Americans will go ahead in 2010, there is always the possibility that things will change and alterations and cancellations will occur, we will update this page as and when anything changes but we are confident and hopeful that all will proceed as planned.
Costs
All our tour prices are fully inclusive from Beijing into the DPRK and back to Beijing. This covers the cost of roundtrip flight Beijing-Pyongyang- Beijing, all travel within the DPRK, meals, tour guides, and twin room accommodation. 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 an extra cost $60.00 per night. The tariff excludes DPRK visa fee (approximately $50), the Mass Games tickets, (approximately $100), 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 US 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).
