The company was easy to work with and planned my trip as I requested. Transportation from the airport to my hotel was without any issues. My hotel was wonderful. The 2 guides I had were exceptional. I have no complaints.

I had a certain trip i wanted to do. I called Adventure Life and told them what I wanted. The trip was arranged within 2 days per my itinerary and the cost was very reasonable. The person who assisted me was knowledgeable, competent and friendly.

Our trip to Guatemala was the third time we booked with Adventure Life and once again they did not disappoint. The itinerary, transportation, hotels and especially the guides we perfect. We will definitely book with Adventure Life again in the future.

Agent (Tess) worked closely with me to help work out a custom itinerary for us in Belize. Since we had several specific requirements she made several recommendations then modified the itinerary when we wanted to bring another couple with us. Nice job!

Everything about our Guatemala trip was amazing. Everything was on time. The guides were personable, knowledgeable on all aspects of history, culture and nature. The destinations were great. It was truly a great week in a wonderful destination.
