"This was my second tour with Koryo. Having been to the DPRK in 2016, I already had a great experience with Koryo. When I was looking for tours to the 5 Stans, this option was top of my list. After reaching out to Koryo in November 2025, I booked the trip almost straight away. I'm glad I did as it was fully booked."
"Excellent travel company I corresponded with for years while North Korea was closed. Always a prompt response and always kept me up to date. Nothing but positive comments from me as an experienced traveller that has been to every country except North Korea!"
"I had a wonderful experience on the Afghanistan trip. I made a lot of new friends and loved our tour leaders. We were able to visit some great places and meet some incredible local people. I fell in love with the country and Koryo Tours did an excellent job setting up this amazing experience. Well done and thank you. I can't recommend highly enough."
