Read important information about COVID-19 and travel to China. Take a tour of Beijing, China's bustling capital city home to close to 22 million people. While staying in the city, you will have opportunities to see Tian'anmen Tower, National Museum of China, Great Hall of the People, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, and the Monument to the People's Hero. You will also explore the legendary Forbidden City - home of the imperial palace for close to 500 years, until 1912. Or you can spend some time exploring the old neighborhoods, known locally as hutongs. Here you can visit Drum Tower, Lama Temple and a Tibetan Monastery, before spending some time in the traditional Wangfujing marketplace. After exploring Beijing, your expedition may take you to the Great Wall or perhaps to a more isolated village, where the contrast with the buzz of urban China will surprise you.

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.
