There were a lot of moving parts in scheduling our itinerary. Franny at Adventure Life responded rapidly whenever I had a question or scheduling update. She did her best in planning what seems to be a wonderful trip within our time window and close to our budget. We had made contact with an representative at another agency at the same time that I contacted Franny. Within 24 hours it was obvious that Franny had outworked the other rep and we remained with her.
