"I chose the Under30Experiences Machu Picchu & Peru trip and all I can say is WOW! Probably the best trip I’ve ever taken! I was nervous to travel solo and meet new people but from the time I got there until I left I felt very comfortable and taken care of! Our guide Roland was truly amazing. He knew Cusco inside and out, took us to some of the most amazing restaurants and showed us so much WHILE beating most of the crowds at some of the more touristy places! Under30Experiences was organized and stuck to each planned day in a timely manner. They also provided alternative activities should we wish to do those (which our group did and they were just as amazing as the pre planned activities!) I was more than impressed with my trip overall and made some amazing memories with new friends to last a lifetime! If you’re looking to travel solo but not alone, Under30Experiences is the way to go!" -Chloe H.
"I just returned from the six day Peru trip ending in Machu Picchu. It was a thrilling unforgettable "experience." The guides Jonno and Roland are fantastic! I consider them more as friends than tour guides to be honest. They were very knowledgeable of the country, its rich history, culture, and food! I recommend traveling with this company to anyone. Even though they attract young adults in their twenties, they are open to anybody up to age 35. I hope to return on a trip with U30X in the near future." -Matt G.
"This is my second time using Under30Experiences and it has been amazing both times. The trip to Machu Picchu in Peru was a great experience. Our guide, Roland, was very helpful and attentive to our needs. He ensured that we had everything and whatever we asked for, he was sure to get it for us. I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone thing about going." -Kelvin T.
