Itineraries for North Korea
The following Itinerary Tour Packets have been planned for the 2008 season. We have been told by the North Koreans that American tourists will be allowed to visit only during the Arirang performances which will be held from August 1st through October 10th.
These tours are based on our best judgment and experience, taking into account the difficult logistical challenges caused by the Beijing Olympics during the month of August. We have created several different itineraries, each routing indicated by a specific letter following a sequence number, e.g., 1A, 1B, 2B, 3B, etc. The itineraries with a "B" are all 9-day packages going to the DPRK via Seoul and Shenyang to avoid the expensive hotels and air to Beijing in August. The itineraries with a "C" are all 8-day packages going to the DPRK via Beijing after the Olympic period, etc.
All the tours are listed chronologically by their proposed departure date from North America.
Please click on any proposed "itinerary" to open an Adobe pdf packet/brochure with a detailed itinerary, a terms and conditions sheet, a reservation/deposit form, a sheet with other useful information, and sample and real Chinese and North Korean visa application forms. If you don't have Adobe Reader, you can download and install the free progam by clicking on its icon at the top or bottom of these listings. If you are unable to or do not wish to view these itineraries in Adobe Reader, please phone or email us and we will be happy to mail, fax or personally email you copies in other formats.
We are confident you will find our tours well planned and comprehensive, giving you as good an introduction to North Korea as you can get in 5 days there. We look forward to providing you with a truly memorable experience.
