For the last several years, my partner D and I have arranged end-of-year trips, in part with the idea of celebrating New Year's Day in an exotic locale. Some previous trips have been to New Zealand, the Galapagos, and Cuba. This year, we selected Adventure Life and a trip to Guatemala. While Guatemala has not been a ''bucket list'' destination, it has been at the back of my mind for some time. Perhaps this is due in part to a wonderful piece of art that I see daily hanging in my study. My parents brought this collage-like stylized parrot from a trip to Guatemala when I was a child (all too many years ago). So this year we celebrated Christmas day with a flight to Guatemala City. Our first flight from our home city, Las Vegas, was fine. However, the connecting flight in Houston was delayed by considerably over an hour, putting us in Guatemala City well after 11:00 PM. We were a bit concerned about missing the person from ViaVenture who was to meet us and drive us to Antigua. We needn't have worried as a most friendly driver met us at the airport with our names prominently displayed. During the hour-long drive we engaged in an animated and informative conversation about Antigua and the country as a whole. Arriving in Antigua well after midnight was eerily exotic as the small colorful streets were totally deserted. Our driver knocked on the locked door of the Hotel Aurora, and soon we were in a stunningly beautiful courtyard. We were immediately ushered to our room where we quickly unpacked and gratefully headed to bed.
Kevin got right on our request and had us booked within the week

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
