End of Another Tour :(

Well we just returned from our wonderful first Arirang Tour of the year. 25 people 14 different countries represented, and some really great fun had by all! We did not even let the small matter of floods get in the way of our fun and managed to circumvent them by taking a bus from Dandong to Shenyang, jumping back on a train and even getting home an hour early! Expect some fresh pictures soon. We still have lots of space left on our September tours, so get in touch now!


Mt Kumgang and Hamhung opened to tours

We are happy to announce the oppening of two destinations available to our tours. The first is Mt Kumgang resort, which was previously ran through South Korea.

We have just returned from a very succesful football tour, where we had the chance to play football with kids at Kim Il Sung, and Yanggakdo Stadiums, get interviewed about the World Cup,and watch the Brazil and Portugal games with Koreans in local bars.
