Александр О. (Полоцк, Беларусь). Групповой тур сентябрь 2011

В КНДР собирался уже давно, лет 5 как минимум. Но, как часто бывает, разного рода обстоятельства не позволяли реализовать эту идею. Наконец карты легли как надо и в 2011 году было решено серьезно заняться вопросом подготовки к поездке. В основу была положена идея финансовой оптимизации, для чего было необходимо набрать группу в составе не
менее 10 человек. Весь процесс подготовки занял более полугода, в течение которого пришлось поработать в разных направлениях, контактируя с различными людьми и фирмами в различных уголках России и зарубежья. В результате, окончательный выбор пал на компанию Korea Konsult.

Почему именно Korea Konsult? Невероятная оперативность, гибкость, огромный запас терпения, наконец – вот основные причины, побудившие меня остановиться на этой компании. Практически все вопросы, включая финансовые, решались на личном доверии и нас не разу не подвели. Было много напряженных моментов, когда неожиданно менялся состав нашей
группы, менялись требования к программе, билетам, срокам. Все решалось оперативно, несмотря на то, что запрос мог быть послан в выходной день.

Мы ездили в Северную Корею по индивидуально составленной программе сроком 8 дней, по моей просьбе нам предложили отличного гида – Kim Hyon Suk. Кроме того, могу рекомендовать второго нашего сопровождающего по имени Kim Young Il, гарантирую, что с ним скучать не придется. А к Korea Konsult огромная просьба от всей нашей группы выслать отдельную благодарность этим двум замечательным людям. Может дополнительную премию к Новому году выпишут.

Впечатления от страны противоречивые. Если абстрагироваться от существующей политической системы, то ощущения только позитивные: чисто, не загаженная природа, несуетно. Ощущения при пересечении границы на поезде из Кореи в Китай находятся на контрасте, и не в пользу Китая. Урбанистичность последнего, толпы народа давят. Северная
Корея в каком то смысле машина времени, размазанная по временному пласту продолжительностью эдак лет в 50-70.

По результатам поездки могу констатировать, что организация прошла на высшем уровне. Если претензии и возникали, то скорее к нашей группе, которая не всегда вела себя достойно. При этом все наши капризы исполнялись буквально на пределе возможностей принимающей стороны (надо учитывать, что каждый чих – изменение в программе – всегда согласовывается с вышестоящей организацией).

Хотелось бы вернуться? Разумеется. Есть в этом месте некая особая атмосфера, непохожая ни на что другое. Бананы и пальмы, конечно, хорошо. Но уж больно однообразно и банально. Северная Корея как раз для того, чтобы немного вcтряхнуться, взглянуть на другой мир, так непохожий на наш сегодняшний. Что становится особенно актуальным (и даже дефицитным) в нынешний век глобализации и сглаживания границ между культурами. Так что налетай на дефицит пока не разобрали!

Дмитрий Е. (Вюрцбург/Москва). Индивидуальный тур 28 апреля-5 мая 2011

Редко бывает так, что, возвратившись из отпуска, еще долго пытаешься вникнуть во все увиденное, прокручиваешь все в голове, пытаясь проанализировать. Вот КНДР цепляет и не отпускает. Отчасти я могу объяснить это тем, что что человек всегда пытается докопаться до истины, интерпретируя объективные факты. А вот как раз тут прокол: объективные факты бытия КНДР для нас как туристов попросту недоступны. Поэтому и спустя 2 недели Корея не отпускает!

Очень хорошие впечатления: и от великолепной организации до самой поездки, в течение ее, от доброго и радушного приема на месте, от яркости увиденного и от его многогранности: ведь мы провели на месте всего неделю, а увидели и узнали уйму. 

Большое человеческое спасибо лично Юле, которая с большим энтузиазмом отвечала на все наши глупые вопросы и очень четко организовала все аспекты путешествия. Низкий поклон нашим замечательным гидам: Тен Ен Сук и Лю Ллен Хва, которые, благодаря их многолетнему опыту и соответствующим связям, обеспечили нам первоочередность доступа ко всем достопримечательностям, оказали душевный прием и даже отвезли "на дачу", где накормили моллюсками на гриле. 

Мы улетели из КНДР с чувством глубокого уважения к народу этой страны и в надежде на то, что этот народ получит заслуженный покой и желаемое воссоединенное благополучие как можно скорее.

С уважением, Дмитрий

Игорь Е. (Россия, Магадан). Индивидуальный тур ноябрь 2010

Добрый день!

Несколько часов назад прилетели в Магадан.
Я выражу наше с Евгением общее мнение - поездка оказалась просто превосходной, особенно в части КНДР. Ожидали значительно меньшего, чем оказалось на самом деле. Есть намерения съездить туда ещё раз :)
Ким просила передать Вам привет и уважение, мы же со своей стороны были бы признательны за благодарность от Вашей фирмы в адрес гидов Ким, Ко и водителя Цоя. Ким великолепно владеет русским языком, что опять же оказалось неожиданностью, а остальное обеспечение тура со стороны Ко - выше всяких похвал.

Эмоций и воспоминаний очень много и все только положительные.

С уважением,
Игорь

Евгений Г. (Израиль). Групповой тур октябрь 2010

Здравствуйте !

В КНДР было очень интересно. В следующий раз надо будет попробовать индивидуальный тур. Я думаю, там можно более гибко составить программу.

Ариран очень впечатлил. Я взял хорошие места - первый класс. И еще поездка в ДМЗ, где солдаты Корейской Народной Армии и "марионеточной" южнокорейской стоят в считанных метрах друг от друга. Суп из собаки очень понравился.

Одно из самых сильных впечатлений - пересечение корейско-китайской границы на поезде: возвращение с Марса на Землю.

Александр Р. (Россия, Москва). Групповой тур на Чильбо и Пэкту сентябрь 2010.

Здравствуйте!

Хотелось бы поблагодарить вас за замечательную поездку (извините, что пишу с некоторым опозданием). Отличная организация, внимательные и понимающие гиды, интереснейшая программа - всё было очень здорово !
Надеюсь съездить с вашей фирмой еще раз - на праздник в 2012 году :)

С огромной благодарностью, Александр.

Татьяна Н. (Россия, Калининград). Групповой тур на Чильбо и Пэкту сентябрь 2010.

Добрый день!

 Я, наконец-то, добралась до дома.
 Хочу выразить вам благодарность за проведение такого тура!
 У меня осталась масса впечатлений. Все было интересно, и очень познавательно.

С уважением, Татьяна

Андрей И. (Россия, Москва). Индивидуальный тур сентябрь 2010.

Нам очень понравилось путешествие в КНДР, это была одна из 3-4 наших с женой лучших поездок. С моей точки зрения, в КНДР гораздо интереснее ехать, если что-то заранее читал про эту страну, и поскольку я в последние полгода
достаточно внимательно изучал корейскую тему (и сейчас продолжаю), то мне было очень интересно сопоставить то, что говорят гиды с тем, что читал я и с тем, что я могу увидеть на месте своими глазами.
 
Корейская природа произвела даже большее впечатление, чем на фотографиях. Собственно, на фотографиях я видел далеко не все из тех мест, где были мы, т.к., к примеру, почти никто из русских туристов не задерживается в Кымгансане на 2 дня, как мы.

В целом – отличное путешествие (тем более, что неизвестно, когда в следующий раз удастся поехать в отпуск), спасибо за
организацию и за проявленную гибкость.

Роман П. (Латвия, Рига). Групповой тур на Чильбо и Пэкту сентябрь 2010.

Я только с самолета. Мы очень довольны поездкой. Конечно, многое надо еще переварить. Но все наши ожидания оправдались. Спасибо вам большое! Эх, жаль, конфет мы мало взяли и жвачки деткам. Поразил нас Мишель. Это лучший организатор группы, которого мы когда-либо видели! Он очень переживал, конечно, чтобы все было хорошо.
А всё на наш взгляд и было хорошо. Самое главное - повезло с погодой! Пекту - это, конечно, чудо света.

Elizabeth C. (Australia). Film Festival group tour September 2010

Just got back from our Film Festival tour and wanted to say thank you for organising a great tour.
Our tour leaders - Miss Park and Mr Lee - were exceptionally helpful and understanding, doing their best to accommodate our needs - they maintained their calm manner throughout and were thoroughly professional.

Notwithstanding the very difficult times the country is experiencing we were able to see the beauty of the countryside, the warmth of the people and the resilient culture.   For most of us, Arirang was the highlight - seeing pictures doesn't do it justice as once you are there, the excitement of the crowd and the music makes for a once in a lifetime experience.  For me personally, the other highlight was the Pyongyang Film Festival.  Although there were no North Korean films in the competition, it gave me the opportunity to see what kind of films were selected and sit in an audience of North Koreans and see their response to the films that were shown.

One of the main reasons for going on the tour for many members of the group was to see for ourselves North Korean society - though realizing the limitations of people coming from outside the culture and such a short and limited stay - nevertheless all the members felt it was an amazing experience to see a society organised so different to our own.

All the best and I will be letting others know about your excellent tour.

Olaf D. (Germany). National Day short group tour September 2010

I am very sorry to write to you so late. Thanks a million for that fantastic trip to North Korea! For sure it was the most interesting trip I have ever done.

Thanks again for everything!
Greetings from a cold Berlin

Adam L. (UK). Group tour August 2010

Hi there,

A bit slow responding but just to say that my trip to the DPRK was fantastically well organised throughout and will likely remain one of my most memorable trips ever!

The delay at Dandong was one of those things.  To be honest it wasn't really a problem, it just meant that the party went on that little bit longer! 

Thanks again and I wish you all the best for future tours.

Best Regards,

Adam

Marion F. (Germany). Group tour August 2010

Régine M. (Switzerland). Group tour August 2010

Bonjour,

Ce petit mot pour vous remercier de l'excellente organisation de notre séjour nord-coréen et de la bonne gestion de notre histoire de visa.Nous avons passé d'excellents moments en Corée du Nord. Le groupe était très sympa et mes enfants se sont aussi très bien amusés.

Bien amicalement,

Lars-Erik S. (Norway). Individual tour July 2010

About one week ago, we came back home to Norway. By that time we had been travelling for 28 days, and I think I can safely say that I've never experienced so many interesting things during a period of 4 weeks before. Russia was amazing, so was China. But of course, North Korea was undoubtly the most interesting country of them all. It will be difficult to explain it properly. Pyongyang was a dazzling city,full of impressive monuments and buildings! Also, it had some strange features, like the massive roads without cars leading in and out of the city, and the dark appearance at night, with builders constantly working, accompanied by opera-like revolutionary Korean songs on loudspeakers. We also got to see beautiful nature, and in addition we had a pleasant stay at a spa hotel. And of course many, many other interesting things. The visit to the Kim Il Sung mausoleum made a huge impression on all of us. Being in the same room as the eternal president was incredible, and it is something which I of course will never forget. But I think that the most interesting place we visited, was the DMZ. I can't think of any other place in the world where you can get closer to reality. You could really feel the tension in the air. We were even allowed to cross the border to South Korea inside one of the buildings built across the border. That was also a strange experience. But nevertheless a strong one.
There's really too much to say about the trip. I'm very, very satisfied with how the itinerary turned out; I think we got the very most out of the week we spent in one of the world's strangest countries. We enjoyed it so much! Really, a journey to remember. I must tell you how impressed I am with how smooth everything has gone. Thinking about it now, after half a year of planning, it has been quite a lot
of things to handle. And nothing would be possible without your aid, for which I am deeply thankful for. I think you have been simply FANTASTIC! Quick and informative answers to any question, and obviously a great knowledge of what you're doing. I
rarely have the pleasure to experience such great service from a company and it's employees, and for that I thank you again, and I hope you will carry on with your great efforts in the future!

We had a wonderful time in North Korea, and who knows, we might return some day...but until then, we still have all the memories. And some hundred pictures and videos to look at!

Cyril (France). Individual tour July 2010

Bonjour,

Je voulais vous remercier, en notre nom à tous, pour votre organisation de notre voyage en RDPK qui vient de s'achever.
Tout s'est admirablement passé et c'était parfaitement organisé.
Nous avons bien récupéré les visas à Pekin, ainsi que nos billets d'avion; les guides étaient charmants et le pays très beau et intéressant.
Nous avons fait un voyage parfait grâce a vous.

Merci encore et félicitations pour tout.

A bientôt.

Anne T. and Alice D.(USA). Individual tour October 2009

Dear Julia,

The trip you planned for us was outstanding, and everything went smoothly. Your careful planning and all of the arrangements could
not have been better. Being in the DPRK was an amazing experience. Thank you so much.

The two guides, Mr. Lee and Mr. Kim, were knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The driver Mr. Lee was also very nice and was an
excellent, careful driver, especially noteworthy considering the Korean style of driving he had to deal with on the roads. We also
enjoyed the Korean food and the restaurants that were selected. We really appreciated the opportunity to observe the lifestyle,
participate in their customs, see the enormity of the monuments, and learn the North Korean perspective of their history as well as current desire for reunification. Needless to say, Arirang was MAGNIFICENT (we went twice).

I should also mention that we liked the way so much was packed into each day. No time was wasted. With only four days, we did and saw as much as was possible.

Thanks again for a great experience.

Anne and Alice

Paul H. (UK). Individual tour August 2009

I am writing to thank you for your assistance with our excellent trip to DPRK & China. We had an absolutely great time, everything went smoothly (transport, connexions and accommodation), and our guides couldn't have been more helpful and charming).

We were very sorry to leave DPRK, which I thought was an excellent place, and only wish that we could have stayed for longer and done some more exploration, particularly of the NE of the country and the coast.

Beijing was largely unrecognizable from when we were last there in 2001, much more traffic-choked and clearly fully embracing unrestrained capitalism. I hope that Pyongyang doesn't end up the same way, though I think it inevitable that it will sooner-or-later.

I did email our DPRK guides to thank them, and to send a couple of pictures. If you are in contact with them please let me know if they were able to receive the message, if not then I'll re-send via you, if that's OK.

I shall continue to extol the virtues of DPRK, and point any interested people in your direction.

Once again many thanks for such an excellent trip.

Best wishes,

Paul

Luke C. (Australia). June group tour 2008

Great tour and great organisation and support from Korea Konsult, I was very happy with the choice, and Julia helped us all save a few bucks. The only thing that got annoying was how we always seemed to be running late even though we were on time!!!!! Hmmmmm I wonder why :-)

Peter S. (Denmark). Individual tour Nov 2009

Hi,

I am back from a very well organized trip to North Korea. It was a very interesting visit and I really saw a lot. The food was excellent, the hotel was fine and I was happy with the guides and the driver. China Air was on time (this was my biggest worry). It was cold and I had not brought enough cloth. Alltogether a successful trip. Thank you for having organized it so well.

Regards, Peter

Ola O. (Sweden). September group tour 2009.

Thanks a lot for organizing this trip. My week in northern Korea under your tour was the most amazing week in my life. I have long had an interest in the country and to finally go there was beyond expectations. The organizing was smooth, communication excellent and the tour itself amazing!

The Koreans showed to be the kindest and most sincere people I have ever encountered.It saddens me to realize that I can’t have the opportunity to pay back by being a just as good host for these people in my country.

Isolation is never good, and what you are doing to bring people to Korea is of utmost importance, both for Koreans and for us from outside.

I hope I can come back in a near future, and will then of course go with Korea Konsult once again!

Ola Obrant

Francesc P. (Spain) October group tour 2009

Our trip was surely a memorable one, maybe my best trip ever: not because of the beauty of what we saw, but for the chance to have a first-hand impression of such a closed country.

Moreover, the people I was traveling with were also excellent colleagues and I can now consider some of them my friends. The Korean guides were also very friendly and nice to us: I personally got the chance to have several conversations with one of them and that made my experience even richer.

Best regards,

Francesc

Chan R. (USA). Individual tour August 2008

hey,

i just wanted to let you know that i will do everything possible to help bring as many tourists into that country, it was one of my
favorites (top 3 for sure). i have 85 different people on my email address and most of them are world travelers (and my friends).

my guides were fantastic and very patient. they helped out always and made this trip special (i didn't want to leave). i would love to work
there as an english teacher but i don't think they allow americans to do that.i miss them already.

thanks again and keep in touch. if there is anything i can do to help these very hard working people you tell me what it is and i'm there to help out.

i will definately go back within the next year.

mass games was the best ever.

thanks,
chan

Patrik T. (Switzerland). Individual tour October 2009

Koen C. (Belgium). August group tour 2009

Hello,,

Erik Detemmerman and I have returned recently from our trip to the DPRK.

We would like to express out gratitude for the well organized and interesting tour we joined, the good food and the good accommodation.

It was a trip we will never forget.

With kind regards,

Melanie M. (Germany). Individual tour Nov 2007

Dear Julia,

I thought I would just write to you and thank you for organising our trip to DPRK. We had a great time, it is a fascinating country and the
people are great, and we would both really like to go back there sometime:-)
There were a couple of planned things that we could not do, but nevertheless I think we saw and experienced a great deal during our short stay!!

The holiday to DPRK was really very good and absolutely fascinating. The guides and driver were also very nice and their English is really
impressive. It was my idea to go there, so I was not sure what Petrik would think of it, but he wanted to stay an extra week!

Kind regards,
Melanie

Ricardo C. (Portugal). July group tour 2009

Hey there DPRKers!

Finaly I got back home after 4 months on the road. I must say, DPRK, was, so far, the most interesting and unsettling travel experience that I have ever had.

Thank You Korea Konsult to garantee such an experience. More pictures of my trip in http://pelocaminhomaislongo.blogspot.com/ (can translate to english with google translator)

Best regards,

Ricardo

Tessa M. (Australia). Individual tour May 2009

Dear Julia,
Just a quick note to thank you so very much for arranging our tour in North Korea. We had a really wonderful time. It all went excellently, and we particularly loved visiting Wonsan, Sijung and Mini-Kumgang. We are specially grateful to our guides, Ms. Kim Sul-Gyung and Mr. Kim Myung-Su who were charming and extremely helpful, and also to the lovely driver Mr. Pak. My sister has decided that she wants to visit North Korea again sometime soon! Currently we are in China, and will be returning home soon.

Thanks again and best wishes from
Tessa

Michael Fedder H. (Denmark). Group tour June 2008

I went on a trip with Korea Konsult in June 2008, and I fully enjoyed the trip and the country. It is so different from anything else! It's an experience all should have... it's a bit of an eye-opener! Would love to go back for the Mass Games...

Caren S. (Netherlands). Individual tour August 2008

Finally managed to find a little time to let you know about our trip to North Korea. We came back a little over a week ago, but are still
processing the whole thing. So many things we've seen and experienced!

First of all, thanks again for all your work. Everything was expertly arranged, and we cannot thank you enough for that. If anyone ever asks us for recommendations on travel agents for North Korea, we're more than happy to point them to you ;-)

As we were told, indeed our days were packed to the hilt with sights and activities, so we did not mind getting back to our hotel room at night! Think all of the desinations on our program, except, to our regret, the visit to Kim Il-Sung university. According to our guide, this was because staff was busy with the prospective students' entrance exams, and we just had to take his word for it ;-) Instead we went to the Pyongyang Folk Museum, which was interesting enough. We particularly enjoyed our trips to
Wonsan/Lake Sijung (that beach!), and Kaesong and the DMZ. As to the latter: it was surreal to stand across from tourists on the Southern side at only a couple of feet distance. None of us said anything, guess both sides were stunned at the sight!

Our guides even sang us a goodbye song in the car on the way to the hotel after our last dinner together ;-)) Furthermore, we were able to benefit from Mr Rim's extensive knowledge base, which made for very informative excursions, and we also had some very interesting discussions on very diverse topics.

So all in all, a very interesting (and exhausting!) trip, which has definitely wetted our appetite for more. Who knows, in the future....?

By the way, we had that beautiful sunny weather throughout our whole trip!

Thanks again, and kind regards,

Caren

Roberto S. (Italy). July group tour 2008

Hello !

I just want to thank you for the all the attention you gave me for the preparation of the trip in North Korea.The group was great and personally I enjoyed the trip so much!!! The funniest moment was when the van broke down and we remained on the road back to Pyongyang for hours: a real North Korean experience!!!

I liked the trip so much (compared to China) that I regretted the decision to leave before the Mass Games, but since I'll stick with Asia in my next trips... I could take a detour and decide to come back, with the Mass Games included of course!

Thanks for everything!

Roberto

Joe B. (Poland). July Group tour 2008

I want to start off by thanking you guys for all the work you guys put into getting me over to North Korea! I am so grateful to have had the chance to travel to such an exotic and beautiful land :)

I have never had or seen a company work so hard for a client like you guys! You guys really tried your best to get me to a location where I really wanted to go.

I hope to return someday in the near future to the D.P.R. of Korea. And I will certainly use your services to get me there. Once again, thanks much! :)

Lukasz L. (France). Individual tour July 2008

Bonjour Julia,

Je viens de revenir d'Asie, et je souhaitais vous dire que nous avons passé un excellent séjour en Corée du Nord. Nos guides étaient vraiment sympathiques, et nous avons beaucoup rigolés tous ensembles... La nourriture était vraiment excellente à chaque fois et ns avons eu l'occasion de goûter la "Dog meat soup" lors de notre passage à Kaesong. C'était un séjour extrêmement interessant...

J'espère avoir un jour l'occasion d'y retourner... car mon grand regret est de ne pas avoir pu assister aux mass games... néanmoins nous avons eu la possibilité d'aller au cirque.

Je tiens encore à vous remercier car l'organisation était parfaite...

Lukasz

Manuel L. (Netherlands). Individual tour July 2008

I have been to North Korea july 2008 and was really surprised by the country and its' people. The trip was well organized by Korea Konsult and definitely wanna go back sometime!

Hallo,

Jeg og min kompis Bjørn var i DPRK i sommer og jeg vil gjerne få takke deg for en fantastisk tur! Kommer aldri til å glemme det :)

Mvh

Kristian

Sophie R. (Sweden). July group tour 2009

Hejsan!!

Jag skulle bara vilja *tacka* för en super lyckad och välorganiserad resa!! Det var så intressant och gruppen var helskön, vi hade väldigt kul tillsammans!!

Jag reser gärna till Nordkorea igen, och jag önskar det vore möjligt att hålla kontakten med guiderna....
De lyssnade och när jag kom med förslaget att vi skulle äta italiensk pizza (hade läst att en ny restaurang hade öppnat precis) ordnade de det....speciellt guiden som talade tyska var väldigt service-minded. Jag har inte hans namn nu, men du kanske vet vem jag menar ändå?

Ha det gott och ja, kanske hörs vi igen för en ny resa vid senare tillfälle?!

hälsningar,
Sophie Roswall

Björn F. (Sweden). May group tour 2009

Hej, nu är vi hemma igen efter resa till Nordkorea.

Måste få tacka för den facinerande och otroligt roliga resan. För oss var det en av höjdpunkterna under hela vår 7 månaders tripp. Michel är fantastisk och skulle gärna resa med honom som reseledare igen. Kommer varmt rekomendera er för eventuella bekanta som är intresserade av landet, tyvärr är de dock inte så många.

Funderade på att bränna ut och skicka ner hela filmen om ni vill ha.

Många kramar

Björn och Marina
