North Korea Private Tours
Discover the DPRK Your Way
KTG traveller taking an ultra-light plane flight over Pyongyang
Do you have any specific travel dates in mind or do not want to join a group? Below is a price list of private tours to the DPRK. Please remember that by independent tours we mean that you will be able to travel to the DPRK whenever you wish with your own group or by yourself. You will, however, be accompanied by Korean guides, as truly independent travel in the DPRK is not possible.
Master Chefs
Whether you would like to cycle through the streets of Pyongyang, go hiking around some of the country's most beautiful and remote areas, take an ultra-light flight or helicopter ride over the capital learn how to cook with a local North Korean chef, see how farmers work and live,... whatever your interests, we will make it happen.
Itinerary & Guides
We cannot help but stress how important we feel that it is to have the most suitable guides in Korea to make the most of your trip, whether with a group or on a private trip.
Guide Profile
Our years of experience in arranging tours in North Korea allows us to know which guides provide the best services possible. This is not just based on our observation from countless trips to North Korea but also on the feedback we have received over the years from our travellers.
Moreover, when going on a private tour, it is your own tour. If you have a specific profile of guides that you would like, for example regarding age, gender, experience abroad or even topics of interest, please just let us know!
Some guides for instance are fascinated about politics, whereas others are genuinely curious about life in other countries and love to compare what life is like in the DPRK compared to their travellers' countries.
Your Adventure, Your Way
We know the country inside out. Whether you have a specific vision or are simply curious about the DPRK, we'll craft a personalised private tour just for you.
Not sure where to start? Just share what fascinates you most about North Korea, and we’ll design a range of itineraries to match, adjusting them until they’re perfect for you.
