If Romania could be dubbed the ambitious older child, ready to embrace each new experience and Bulgaria the compromising middle child, I might consider Serbia to be the rebellious youngest member of the family. Serbians seemed excited to entertain, happy for a laugh, and ready for a fight when needed. A local T shirt read, "I can't keep calm, I'm Serbian". The Serbians are a proud people- not afraid to stand their ground but also able to have a good time. The center of Belgrade has a huge, manmade lake that offers all manner of entertainment from a zipline, a waterski course, nude bathers, picnic and playground areas for families and a great bike trail circling it all. The day we were there the cool temperatures precluded water based activities but we enjoyed touring the area on bicycle.
Of course the Serbians also have a rich history. Mo favorite stop in the country was a visit to the 18th century Petrovaradin Fortress at Novi Sad. The fortress is perched on a hillside overlooking the Danube. It's particularly well known for over 10 miles of tunnels that wind through the hillside underneath the fortress allowing military forces the opportunity to defend the fortress through small arrowslits along the walls of the tunnels and boobytraps on the hillside that could be activated from within the tunnels. We were told that each soldier worked only in one small segment of the tunnel complex such that a captured soldier would not be able to disclose a sufficient map of the tunnel complex to do the enemy much good.
The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
