Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!

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!
