Everything was amazing! The planning with Adventure Life went smoothly. The actual trip was fantastic! One of the best trips I have experienced. The cruise staff members were knowledgeable and attentive. I will be writing more about this on the blog!
We had a 3 week trip to Paris, Normandy and Italy. Everything was so smooth, the guides Adventure Life set up for us were all informative, friendly and really good. All pick ups at airports were there when we arrived. It was a great trip and we have Adventure Life to thank for the trip of a lifetime.
