Adventure Life Reviews and Testimonials

First class all the way! Adventure Life went above and beyond to make sure we had a perfect vacation!

The whole experience from planning to completion of the adventure was such a fun, positive trip. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to explore a beautiful country and people and not need to worry about any of the details.

We loved Chile! We got to stay in places and see things that would have been hard to find on your own (without someone planning the experience). Mary and Elma were great to work with!

Everything was superb. The pickups were flawless. Accommodations were great all with scenic views and strategic locations. Food and menu choices were just right. The drivers (especially Carmelita) were courteous, safe, and sharing. The guides (especially Pablo) were expert, helpful, caring, and patient. They could not have been any better. And the itinerary was inclusive and efficient. It was the perfect balance of guided experiences with ample free time to explore independently. We found Guatemala to be an exciting country with abundant natural scenes (including active volcanoes), viewable wildlife, cultural gems, and historical sites. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Faviola, the local tour director in Antigua. She is an exceptionally good ambassador for Guatemala and a fun person to know. We have traveled with Adventure Life several times and each trip has been outstanding. This one was just as good as the rest, with the whole trip going according to plan. We feel that we got an introduction to the culture of Guatemala, view nature at its finest, and to meet some wonderful people along the way. We could do this carefree because AL had attended to the itinerary, logistics, and details of our trip.

It was the BEST!

It was a great trip! The guides were excellent, as usual. We had 3 and I would completely recommend them to travellers on this tour. They were all very accommodating of our interests, and very flexible. The hotels were great, in particular the Terrantai in San Pedro. What a lovely restful oasis in the desert. Loved touring the local markets and archaeological sites (guides were very informed in that department).

I booked this trip last minute, and Claudia and Ghezzel were very helpful and flexible. They made sure I had everything I needed pre-departure. That turn-around time was not easy, and they nailed it.

The entire trip, from planning to boarding the ship, to flying back to Chile and the hospitality at the Explorer's House was spectacular. Adventure Life was easy to work with, very responsive and proactive in planning. The majority of my correspondence was with Suleica (at Adventure Life) and she was easy to get hold of, responsive and very pleasant and helpful. I enjoyed working with her.

We had guides in 3 locations (Cambodia, Bali and Jakarta) and all were great. They gave us a good sense of their country and had pretty complete knowledge of the sights. All drivers were courteous and safe and on time. The accommodations were nice, especially the resort in Bali. When my travel partner reached out to Claudia about booking a trip, it was a little more than a month before the event. I was impressed how quickly Claudia was able to arrange the details of every outing. It is nice that you all have relationships with travel agencies on the ground in the area of interest. Ghezzel sent all documents on time and all was well.

An excellent trip. It exceeded my expectations. The planning and arrangements by Adventure Life were flawless. The accommodations in Quito and the Bella Vista Cloud Forest Reserve were a great fit for my taste - local, clean and simple. The airport and excursion transfers were prompt and friendly. Jonathon, my transfer driver from and back to the airport was exceptional! He was friendly, professional, and very helpful getting me through the additional security at Quito airport. He also was reassuring concerning the political unrest that was occurring at the time. A special thanks to Jonathan!

Rhenee (at Adventure Life) went above and beyond in every respect! We couldn’t be happier with her.

The travel planning by Adventure Life was flawless. The three guides were exceptional; all spoke fluent English. The hotels were perfect choices - just the right combination of comfort and luxury. And the excursions were well-suited to our interests. We are repeat customers with good reason.

We have used Adventure Life for many trips and will continue to do so. We recently recommended AL to friends who are planning a trip to Europe and have never been outside the US.

We are very happy with the Adventure Life team and are confident that they are on top of the trop from planning through to execution.

Our stay aboard the MS Ushuaia for the Classic Antarctica trip exceeded all our expectations. We enjoyed every minute of it (ok, maybe not crossing the Drake Passage, as the seas were very rough). Staff, guides, everybody was spectacular.

Our guide Judith and driver Carmelita were the BEST! They were so informative, so organized. Best of all they took such good care of our every need. They were fun to be with but were so professional. We got to know Guatemala better than if we traveled on our own. We have friends for life with these two wonderful women!

The trip was wonderful and I can only compare it to traveling to another world. The ship staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the expedition guides were superb.

Excursions, accommodations, and travel logistics were very good. Galapagos guide Emma was fantastic.

Everyone was where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. Mary Rose and I communicated on whatsapp and email and she provided me the local contacts which helped keep everything running smoothly. It also allowed me to add tours at the end without a problem. Mary Rose is exceptional!!

Edwin was an excellent guide on our Galapagos trip. The Adventure Life team made our trip very easy and relaxed.
