Has anyone visited, or had experience with any of the major tour operators? In particular, does anyone know Koryo Tours, New Korea Tours, North Korea one-on-one (a.k.a. Asia Pacific Travel, Ltd), or Koreakonsult? And if there is already a N Korea thread please direct me! I couldn't find it. Thanks.

Do you subscribe to ITN? (international Travel News) There was a long story about a year ago from the first person allowed in to North Korea as a "tourist." Very interesting. I expect you could buy a past issue from ITN.
Here are some trip reports from Flyertalk.

Irealize that this is an old thread but for future reference here is some info:
Koryo Tours is probably the best for N.Korea tours, and here is a video of what you will see, where you will stay, and what you will experience during the tour:
