Wow, thanks for sharing this link! I took the train to Pyongyang in 2009 (from Wuhan via Beijing), so the photos of the North Korean train bring back some memories, I even have a copy of a propaganda magazine in this photo I took off the train on the way back.
- peterburkimsher 6y agoWhich tour company did you go in with? I guess Koryo. I went in with CYTS in 2010, and didn't understand a word because it was all in Chinese XD. But it was only 1000€ instead of 3000€! These days Young Pioneer Tours are much cheaper, somewhere around the $500 mark depending on the number of days.
- vaughnegut 6y agoI went with some Dutch Company called VNC Asia, I have no recollection of how I found them and their website doesn't even offer an English option anymore. It was 1235 Euros, which honestly was pretty good, although at the time I'd been living in China for a year so it was crazy expensive to me. The tour was a great deal, my buddy and I got a private car with two guides and a driver dedicated specifically to us, so they spoke great English. I was hoping to see them in the blog linked above, but the only person I recognized was a woman in a military uniform at the museum - she showed us around the USS Pueblo. It's crazy you can go there for 500 dollars nowadays, I wonder how travel has changed.
