We are so glad that we chose Adventure Life. The service is top-notch. Everything is well taken care of and we just have to print the documents and go. Franny even gave us timely updates on possible airport strike.

Our trip to Greece was memorable. Adventure Life arranged for a private driver and daily tour leaders who were knowledgeable and personable. The day we were supposed to return, Greece had a 24-hour strike. Elma handled all the transportation problems promptly. I love that Adventure Life has people with experience in different parts of the world, plus local contacts.
