U30X Trip Reviews

"Incredible trip with an incredible company. Get plugged into Vietnam and Cambodia to see other walks of life, great food, and fantastically kind people." -Derek W.

"Under30experiences has been such an incredible life changing experience! There's so many positive things about this fantastic group of people. That said, I've love to travel but it's not easy finding people to join you internationally. Under30experiences has allowed me to fulfill my wanderlust by having an array of destinations you can go and you'll meet like minded people from around the country that accompany you on these trips. The trip leaders are fantastic as well, truely the most caring and unforgettable people. The trips are very safe, organized and packed full of adventure from the time you step off the plan until departure. I've already been to Bali and Colombia and I'm excited for Peru, France and Iceland this year with the group. Additionally, what's nice about these trips, is you do them in just a few days if you don't have a lot of vaca and over a holiday. Definitely recommend Under30Experierces to anyone who loves to travel and needs great people to experience it with." -Ashley H.

"My trip to Vietnam and Cambodia with U30 was an amazing experience. Both countries have lots of history, bustling city life, amazing food, and relaxing country sides. The accommodations chosen by U30 were spectacular, but even more spectacular were the guides! Both guides, Yen and Hun, were knowledgeable, kind, hardworking, and really meshed well with our group. I had such an amazing time exploring 4 new cities/towns with my 10 new besties!! Can’t recommend enough, already looking to book my next U30 trip. :)" -Madeline P.
