Our trip to the DMZ was truly unforgettable. It was not only exciting, but also deeply fascinating for both me and my mom. As foreigners, we had only ever seen or heard about the division of Korea through television and news reports—but standing there in person, at the very edge of one of the world’s most heavily fortified borders, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The atmosphere was intense, and the security has definitely become stricter in recent years, which made the visit feel even more real and impactful. Despite the tight regulations, our tour guide, Sadie, was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire trip. Her insights gave us a deeper understanding of the history and ongoing tensions, making the experience even more meaningful.

It was fantastic to learn about Korean history. Hideout was very easy to book tickets online, and great, as Ms. Grace (our tour guide) was friendly and explained everything excellently. I was super happy to see beautiful places such as the DMZ, which says a lot about the tussle between South and North Korea. The other places were amazing to visit. Thank you, Headout and team, special thanks to Ms. Grace for the amazing explanation and for being friendly and treating all of us as her own family. Thank you.
