U30X Trip Reviews

"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.

"I love traveling with under30! I have done Italy, Belize, and the Vietnam/Cambodia trip. The trip leaders are phenomenal and the trips are organized, immersive, fun, and 10/10. I didn't travel internationally before Under30, and after each trip, I gain confidence, knowledge, and amazing stories. All the hotels and activities are great. It is worth the price and I can't wait to do more. I'm so glad I found Under30. It's been the adventure of a lifetime!" -Kalyn G.

"Recently traveled with U30X to Vietnam and Cambodia - what an awesome trip!! The local guides (Lee & Hun) were super knowledgeable and so happy to share their country's history and customs. It was clearly a well thought out itinerary that truly immersed us in the local culture - we experienced the local life as well as visiting historical landmarks and relaxing in some beautiful areas. Further, the U30X team was extremely responsive and helpful leading up to our trip. A true pleasure to travel with this team." -Jeremy B.
