"If you’ve fallen down the BTS rabbit hole like myself then I cannot recommend highly enough that you consider taking
this tour with Barbara dela Pena and her Team at Headliner T.E.A. I was a 60 year old somewhat introverted solo traveller
who was both nervous and excited to undertake my first trip to South Korea.
It turned out to be such an awesome and memorable experience and so much fun that I went a second time and am planning a third.
You will be well taken care of as you enjoy the wonderful sights, cuisine and culture, that is unique to South Korea
whilst followingin the footsteps of one of their most famous exports BTS. I have met so many incredible people and
gained new friendships, it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. 💜"

"I travelled with Headliner T.E.A. on both the BTS Spring Tour and Summer Tour in 2026, covering Seoul, Gwangju and Busan,
Headliner TEA turned a Korea trip into a collection of stories and there’s a reason I came back for a second tour.
I originally booked because I was travelling without my usual travel buddy and wanted an organised group to give me the
confidence to actually get on the plane. What I didn’t expect was how much the Headliner TEA experience would add
beyond simply making Korea easier.
A huge part of that comes from Barb and the relationships she has built in Korea. Those connections turn into genuinely
special ARMY experiences, from restaurants and museums I never would have known about myself to locations inspired
by BTS Season’s Greetings content. Some of my favourite memories were the personal ones: being treated like family
over lunch, flower arranging at The Isaac, and unexpectedly being gifted T-shirts at Eulji Dabang
after we visited for ssanghwa-cha.
The smaller Summer Tour was especially flexible, with impromptu stops and dinner changes becoming some of the best moments.
For me, the biggest unexpected bonus was the people. Both tour group chats are still active. I’ve met up with people again in
Australia, we’ve booked BTS tickets together, and we’re now heading to other concerts together too.
I’d particularly recommend Headliner T.E.A. to solo ARMYand anyone who wants their Korea trip centred around BTS
rather than conventional sightseeing. The tours are differentenough each time that I’m still maintaining the entirely reasonable
argument that I need to see Korea in all four seasons. Headliner T.E.A. delivers the BTS moments you didn’t know you needed.
One final warning: Barb loves a viral dance opportunity.
Learn the choreography or establish yourself early as the camera person. I chose wisely."

" After years of following Headliner T.E.A's social media, I signed up to their BTS Australia Army South Korea Busan Tour in June.
It was a smaller group than previous tours, but it was just right for me. I got to visit all the BTS places I had hoped to visit for many years. Our private transport was great and our local tour guide was extremely helpful on many occasions.
I'll be joining Headliner T.E.A's K-drama Tours for the next 4 years! A different season k-drama tour each year!
Barbara, can't wait to be travelling with you again!! 💜"

"I remember the first tour I went on in 2022. I was so unsure of going on a tour by myself with all strangers to a country I had never been to before. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made and it was life changing in ways I could not have expected.
I met people who have become some of my closest friends, and have fell in love with South Korea - I can't get enough. I have
been on Barbara's tour again in 2025 where she made sure that we had new experiences and flexibility.
I found Barbara's tours to be high quality, from accommodation to food and those trips will always hold a special place in my heart. Cannot recommend Headliner T.E.A. enough!!"

"Do yourself a favour and join the tours with Headliner T.E.A. You will make lifelong friends and have the best time of your life.
The tours are jampacked with fun and are worth every cent. I would give them 10 out of 10.
Hope to see you on one of them, you won't regret it. 💜"

"I was so happy when I was selected as one of the participants for the June 2025 Aussie ARMY ComeBaek Tour.
This was my second trip to South Korea.
What I liked most about this tour was it was about celebrating BTS's comeback and going to places connected with BTS.
I will always remember how ARMYs are so friendly and fun loving. I was so surprised about the participants' age range -
from 14 years old to 75 years old.
I actually celebrated my 75th birthday there with a surprise birthday cake from Barbara and a framed photo of my bias, Jimin!
The camaraderie is fantastic and when I came home I told my daughter that I had BTS overload. This tour also included
visits to historical and cultural places in and around Seoul and South Korea. I would highly recommend anyone thinking
of joining a South Korea or BTS tour to contact Barbara. You won't regret it!"
Tessie Jameson, QLD
"What an amazing, life-changing time I had with Barbara’s first Australia BTS ARMY tour in 2022!
Barbara has a thorough knowledge of everything BTS-related and she takes you to many of the places of interest, walking in the footsteps of the legendary group. That, combined with her local contacts and appreciation of South Korean culture in general, makes for a wonderful tour which takes the worry of planning an itinerary out of your hands.
You’ll also make new friends with similar interests to yours. Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!"
