“We were intercepted by our guides, who we could not leave during the entire stay, and who’d tell us when to sleep and when to wake up.” When you’re traveling in North Korea, do not expect to be able to travel independently and be prepared to follow certain rules, The Telegraph said. Moreover, the guides need to be specially appointed by the country’s Ministry of Tourism and also need to be associated with one of the three travel services based in the capital, Pyongyang. Travelers are bound to follow the strictest of rules within the country, which include not walking around unaccompanied.
