North Korea

*Please note - we are not currently running tours to North Korea. They have been closed since January 2020 and there is currently no sign of when they will reopen.

Come and explore one of the most isolated and secretive countries in the world, completely shut off from outside influences since 1953. To visit North Korea is a bizarre and unique travel adventure, catching a glimpse into the lives of a nation mostly closed off from the 21st century as we know it.

During our tour you will stay in the bustling capital city of Pyongyang; visiting iconic locations such as the Arch of Triumph and the Mansudae Monument to see the giant bronze statue of Kim Jong Il. Outside of Pyongyang we will visit the beautiful Mount Myohang, the quiet area of Panmunjom, also known as the 'truce village' and much more.
