Has any one been to North korea? I found out a lot of agencies offer really high price, But <snip snip snip> offer nearly half price than other agencies. Has anyone been through this agency? Could you give me some advice?

Here are a couple of good links.
Vice Guide to North Korea 1 of 3 - The Vice Guide to Travel | VBS.TV
North Korea Story pg. 1 - Axis of Evil World Tour
I have seriously thought about going, but because of the cost, the PITA, the political situation currently and not really wanting to put money in to Kim's back pocket, I have not gone.
Have found better things to do.
Boycotting and isolation really work... See how much Cuba and NK have evolved and changed in the last 50 years.
I'd say go with a clear conscience and think of it as bringing a little light to a very dark place instead
Are you crazy? Why on earth would you want to put money into hands of Kim Jong Il and his merry band of murderers? How on earth can you be a party to the contiued exploitation and starvation of the people of North Korea? Unless you have a tape recorder and a hidden camera, anyone going to DPRK should be ashamed of themsevles.
I suppose the attraction is that there aren't that many other places easier to get into where you can observe, well fed and with your very own hand picked government minion, the suffering of an oppressed and starving people - I assume you've already visited Myanmar?
There was a poster on here a year or so ago who was going to go to NOrth Korea - but he fancied it without the tour guide. He vanished and never reappeared on the site.....
look how happy they look
in my opinion, the only thing worth seeing in NK is the prison.
