We have worked with Kassandra at Adventure-Life for several years. She continues to provide excellent guidance on our trips. This time, we tossed some real challenges - explicit number of days, specific itineraries and limitations on who we would prefer to sail with. She actually gave us choices ! Deposit in place and working on additional details for insurance and extensions. Another success !!

Adventure Life has amazing connections all over the world, and never hesitates to contact them on our behalf to get every trip, tour, and question answered for us. We love how Adventure Life helps us to customize our trips so we don't miss out on the things we really want to see and do ... and they always have some great suggestions on things we didn't even know about!
