It was futbol time! We scored some great tickets to the Sevilla vs Barcelona soccer game while we were in Sevilla. We couldn’t figure out the bus system so we decided to walk the 30 minutes to the stadium. As we got near, the crowds picked up and by the time we got to the stadium, the streets were filled with soccer fans. We had a little time to spare and wanted to grab a beer (what sporting event would be complete without at least one beer?). But of course all the bars were packed with lines out the door. Lucky for us, we saw a little Dominos that sold big beers for a euro! Best cheap beer I’ve ever had!
On our way in we each bought a soccer scarf (me Barcelona and Evan, Sevilla) and found our seats. We were just off the center line and pretty close. What great seats! Before the game started, all the fans were up on their feet singing the Sevilla song. It was incredible to hear 70,000 people sing in unison, both Barcelona and Sevilla fans singing the same song. I cannot even describe the energy in that stadium for 90 minutes straight. The first score went to Sevilla and the crowd erupted! They jumped, screamed and sang for at least 2 minutes straight! Right before the half, Messi scored for Barcelona, tying it up. We discovered later that this was Messi’s 500th goal scored for Barcelona! The second half was back and forth for a while until Barcelona scored a second goal to carry them to a win. I secretly was rooting for Barcelona but was sad to see the home team lose. This was only my second professional soccer game, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience
The walk back to our hotel was full of energy and excitement as the whole city seemed to either be at the game or certainly watching it!
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.
