As a Trip Planner at Adventure Life, I get this question frequently. "Do I really need someone to hold my hand?" As an independent traveler looking back on her trip, I can tell you that guide service took my experience to the next level and put my mind at ease. Like so many of our busy travelers, I was working right up until the last minute before this trip and really didn't have the time to pore over books and blogs for an endless stream of inspiration and recommendations. I made sure that my suitcase was filled appropriately, but outside of that I left the day-by-day details and logistics to the experts, and boy was it worth it! Since my guides were all locals, they knew these sites and customs like the back of their hand, and it truly felt like I was on a whirlwind tour of their most favorite things to do in their home town.
My guide Nong was such a great host for the day! (and barely broke a sweat) (Jenna Fedyschyn)
They helped me interact with market vendors, eat at the best hole-in-the-wall spots, and avoid the typical tourist faux pas. Since someone else was worried about getting me from point A to B and had my safety in mind, I was able to truly take it all in and focus on the experience. There's certainly a time & place for the "DIY vacation," but I'm a true convert when it comes to using guide service, particularly when your planning time is limited, and especially when the culture and language seems so foreign!
Excellent safari trip with Adventure Life and Albatross Travel. Special shout out to our guides Eric Turasha (Kenya), and Blasi Shirima (Tanzania) from Albatross Travel. Both were world class!!! The trip went off without a hitch; all the camps were amazing…worth mentioning...one of the camps we were going to stay in on the Tanzanian side was damaged by high winds so we ended up in a different camp (Mara under Canvas Camp). Can't say enough good things! A great experience and superb service!!

My tour operator was helpful. Unfortunately she was unable to get my single-supplement canceled. Not too many tours charge for that anymore and I almost canceled my trip because of that.

Adventure Life went above and beyond to care for all our travel needs!!! From the flights, to the accommodations, the tours, the tour guides, the transfers, the scheduling, everything was top notch and our minds were blown away!! It was so nice to be able to travel to another country that we’d never been to before and have every detail laid out for us!! No stress, no searching where to go, what to do, fighting with tourist crowds, getting rental cars, etc…..,it was all done for us, very organized and worth every penny!! We will definitely use Adventure Life for our future travel plans!!! A+++
