We have worked with Jess on previous trips and found her (and Petchie) to be knowledgable and responsive. She delivered answers to all our questions in a timely way, and she provided the information we needed to be comfortable with our choice of trips. Truthfully, we stumbled into working with Jess on this itinerary, since we did not know that Adventure Life could broker our trip with Viking. Dennis and Cathy
