Now that tours have officially opened up for US citizens for the mass games this year, has anyone located a decently priced tour?

These are what I have found so far:

This is flying from China I think. You would have to add the cost of a ticket from Seoul to whereever they go from (maybe Bejing) to the cost of that. It's pretty damn expensive.

If you haven't already, check out http://www.youngpioneertours.com/

Also, if you just want to do it the cheap way and just dip your toe in North Korea to say you've done it, http://www.explorenorthkorea.com/1-day-tour-via-seoul.html is an option.

Pyongyang, as of this month, have removed restrictions on US tourists only being able to visit during Mass games.

Better get in while you can.

It helps if you actually READ what I said before posting redundant information.
