Welcome to the Under30Experiences Community!
"I recently went on the Under30Experiences 9-day Greece trip and it was one of the best things I've ever done. I was so anxious traveling on my own to another country but the company really did make me feel supported and helped me through everything. My tour guide in Greece was Dimitris and he was amazing!!! Very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I felt like I had a friend showing me around- he took our group to many different parts of Greece without making it feel rushed or over-filled. I still can't believe how much I did in the week I was there but came home feeling so calm and grateful for everything I got to experience! Dimitris answered any questions we had, showed us the best areas and sights to see and was a genuinely super cool guy. This trip is a lot of walking, some hiking (but nothing too bad- I really enjoyed the hikes), learning about the culture/history and eating a lot of delicious food. There's time for relaxing on the beach, a kayaking day, and so many breathtaking sights seen on this trip. It really did have everything and the group I was with ranged from early 20's to late 30's and we all got along really well and became fast friends through it all. I can't recommend this company or trip enough!! Just do it!" -Nachelle L.
"This company is amazing. I was nervous to travel alone, and me and a friend decided to go with this group! I’ve never felt more comfortable traveling outside of the country. the people I met and the places we went to are things I won’t ever forget! I went on the Greece trip and our trip leader Katarina was nothing short of amazing! highly recommend booking with them!" -Jami R.
"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)." -Sandra M.
