After six days of solo travel, it was great to be in the company of my friends. We had a private city tour of sights not seen when I first arrived in Buenos Aires. Among the highlights were the Parque Tres de Febrero, an oasis of trees, a rose garden, and a lake with paddleboats in the middle of a busy city; driving through the chic Palermo neighborhood; and going to the Recoleta Cemetery, whose most famous occupant is Eva Peron.
Perhaps even more interesting, though, was the time spent in a cafe with our guide who related his personal experience during the political upheaval of Argentina in the 1970's and the events that followed.
Our guide took leave of us in the early afternoon after helping us get tickets for a tour in English to the Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires' magnificent opera house with the third best acoustics in the world, following La Scala in Milan and the Paris Opera House. The building has quite a history, not to mention the grandiose productions starring all the opera luminaries in its heyday. The tour guide even graced us with a few lines of the habanera from Carmen!
That evening, we were whisked away for another taste of excellent Argentine cuisine and a lively and seductive tango show. We were mesmerized by the energetic performance and delighted to experience this part of Argentine culture.
Franny helped us put together a great itinerary, was very responsive and so helpful. We ended up not being able to use Adventure Life for our trip, but would definitely use them in the future.

Jess H helped plan an incredible holiday to Costa Rica for us. She was great from the start, she really listened to what we wanted from the trip and took into account mobility issues by arranging different excursions. The whole planning process was easy and stress free even with us being in the UK and them being in the US. I would highly recommend using Adventure Life to anyone thinking of planning a trip. They are also priced very competitively which made it even better.

COSTA RICA a trip of a life time travelling round this beautiful country. All went like clockwork even when the weather was against us and all transfers seemed to be part of the holiday not a chore. Would definitely use Adventure Life again having previously used them 20 years ago!!

Adventure Life helped me plan my trip to Antarctica. They always responded fast to my emails and were a pleasure to deal with.
