Luang Prabang managed to steal my heart within a matter of hours, and it caught me completely off guard. Everyone I met in Thailand who asked me where I was headed next lit up at the mention of Luang Prabang and gave me a look as if to say, “you’ll understand soon enough.” Here I was walking along the Mekong River of a treasured UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the charm was just oozing from every street corner. My guide Nong grew up here and was eager to show me around. We visited the Royal Palace Museum, just a small fraction of the beautiful temples, and climbed the 328 steps of Mount Phousi for a stunning (and sweaty) 360 degree view of the city.
We stopped for lunch along the Mekong River and sampled a delicious, local menu. You gotta try the larb!
If I had had the extra time, Luang Prabang would have been the perfect stop for a few free days to wander and explore independently, take in the sites and relax by the river. I guess I'll have to just start planning my next trip!
The agent had great response to questions and coordinated well to create an itinerary that met our expectations.

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!

Adventure Life is definitely a first-class safari tour company, and our representative was Franny Friesz. First of all, she responded immediately after we contacted Adventure Life. We told Franny that we had never been on a safari, and she was more than eager to offer a mountain of information about the trip. She informed us fully about all the ups, downs, and all arounds! She even prepared a number of packages for us to review -- even after we made changes to the areas we wanted to explore. Friendly, helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable -- these words describe Franny, and what a wonderful trip she prepared! We couldn't have asked for better service than Franny of Adventure Life. We HIGHLY recommend her and her outstanding company! Bon Voyage!

The staff at Adventure Life made planning my family's trip to the Galapagos Islands as easy as possible. They listened to what we were hoping to experience and made thoughtful suggestions about how to accomplish our vacation goals while meeting the needs of travelers ages 17-76! They patiently answered questions and follow up questions in the months leading up to the trip. They helped us trouble shoot and customize the trip in every way possible. The logistics involved in traveling from Boston to the Galapagos are innumerable. The Adventure Life staff helped us arrange every detail and the team they assembled in the Galapagos was tremendous. I have never done a trip this big before and after working with Adventure Life this time--would not hesitate one second in working with them again.
