What travelers are saying

"At first I thought, maybe it was just me. Maybe I just had a poor customer service experience with Adventure Life. On my recent trip to Antarctica I met several other passengers, including my roommate who booked through Adventure Life. Each time and immediately they expressed the same exact challenges and concerns when working with Adventure life that I experienced. Being supplied with broken links to resources and documents, vague responses to specific questions, lack of pro-actively from Adventure Life, and a plethora of other issues. But I would recommend using Adventure Life, call them to help find the best dates and trip for you. Then book directly through the tour operators. I met several people on the trip that were able to find and negotiate discounts by skipping the agency and going directly to the tour operator."

What travelers are saying

"This year, we did our second tour in Italy with Ciclismo Classico, and as the first one, it was superb. The attention to detail, the locations, the hotels, the food, the wine, and of course, the amazing guides (Gian Paolo and Umberto). No matter the level of cycling you want to experience, you can find an experience for you. The best always is making new friends (and in our case, reuniting with old friends from a previos tour) from all over the world. We'll be back again!"
