Hotels, activities, ground transport, your leader, and taxes — included. No hidden fees stacking up after you book.
The Under30Experiences trip to Prague, Vienna and Budapest was incredible. You had enough time in each city to explore the museums, castles, and local cuisine. The trip leader, Johanna gave great recommendations for local spots, and took us to incredible restaurants. It was a blast. I enjoyed getting to know fellow travelers on the trip as well. Counting down the days till my next trip with Under30!
I had a great time with my friends & meeting new friends in Central Europe! Our trip leader Vanessa was very knowledgeable about the area. She was outstanding, she was so very helpful & gave us plenty of options & things for us to do. Will def go on another u30x trip!!
I’ve been on 4 trips (Costa Rica Extended; Prague, Vienna, & Budapest; Greece; Iceland) in 2 years with this company and don’t plan on stopping any time soon! Every single guide I’ve had has been exceptional, and U30X seems to know how to select great guides who know how to make the experience great. Group sizes are kept to a max of 16 (although mine have averaged 12-15) and you get to know your peers on the trip well by the end of the trip, no matter how short or long. I’ve made some of my closest friends recently on these trips. Highly recommend if you want to “solo” travel (although by the end of the trip it doesn’t feel like a solo trip, just a trip with some friends).
Every departure is led by a dedicated U30X Trip Leader who handles the logistics, brings the group together from day one, and works alongside our trusted local guides on the ground.
