Active Adventure Travel Agents & Reviews

We worked with this travel company to plan our trip to Italy and Greece, it was amazing! They covered all details for us - hotels, transportation, tours - and everything was great. Hotels were of the level we asked and in great locations. Our tours were a mix of private and small group, all tour guides were professional and very knowledgable. The contact person in Italy was very helpful during our trip when we had questions. The travel company was very helpful with advice and suggestions for trip planning.

Our agent Monica designed a custom 12 day Italy trip for us. We were able to visit Venice, Florence, Sorrento and Rome. She made sure all of our hotels, car / train transfers and tours were pre-booked with the highest of luxury and comfort in mind. We did not miss a thing! This trip is the experience of a lifetime and we can't wait to use her again. I highly recommend her services if you're seeking a trip that will allow you to just arrive and have every detail organized by a professional.  All of our guides were fantastic and tours were in small groups under 24 people. Even during some challenging flight delays for flights we booked on our own, she was there to help adjust anything we needed.Grazi Monica!

10 days, 5+ Italian cities, 16 people…what could go wrong? Can you believe nothing did?Daniela at the travel agency developed an amazing itinerary for us. It was creative, authentic, efficient and balanced.Daniela created a final itinerary that was well-thought through, designed, organized and executed! Not only were my requests incorporated in the plan, Daniela also elaborated on my initial ideas and anticipated our needs. The result was a perfect trip that we felt was exactly what we wanted. She’s a pro!Our family group of 16 people included my parents in their 80s, my brothers and partners in our 50s, plus our 8 teens. We presented with a tall order - to visit Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast in 10 days while not feeling too rushed. We asked for authentic/historical and educational experiences (hotels, restaurants, tours and activities) that would accommodate our wide range of interests/abilities. We wanted to see just few major sights so that my parents would not get too hot or tired and the kids wouldn’t get too bored. We also requested fun and varied activities to keep our teens engaged. Our time was extremely well-managed; the itinerary was efficient. The unique, centrally-located hotels were well-chosen and air-conditioned. Also, our activities were balanced with much-needed downtime, which was often planned for mid-day during the peak of the heat…perfect! Daniela organized skip the line tours at Doge’s palace in Venice, David in Florence, Vatican, colosseum & Pompeii. Most importantly, Daniela incorporated a variety of super fun activities that the teens (and all of us) enjoyed:Venice gondola rideMurano and Burano boat tour with glass blowing demonstrationFlorence biking tourFlorence food tourHigh speed train ride to RomeRome Vespa/Tuk Tuk tourRome pizza-making classMt. Vesuvius wine tasting and lunchSorrento/Amalfi Coast all-day boat ride w/swimming All was awesome! When transferring to a new city, our luggage was sent in advance which was very helpful. Transportation by nice sprinter vans was always professional and on-time. We also liked using an app to access our daily itinerary. A team member, in customer service, arranged all of our dinner reservations. All of the restaurants were good, authentic & ready to receive us. For last minute issues and changes, She was quickly responsive in communication on What’s app.GRAZIE Daniela & team! 

The team at the travel agency did an excellent job planning and executing our Sicily trip. They planned a trip tailored to our interests, provided for seamless private transportation and private tour guides throughout. They were in communication with the guides, drivers, hotels throughout to make sure everything was going smoothly. 100% of the drivers/guides were on time.  The hotels were wonderful. The itinerary packet contained restaurant recommendations, activities to do and sights to see in each town. Cameron and her team tweaked our itinerary when we wanted to make an additional stop in Caltagirone. They made dinner reservations for us upon our request. I highly recommend this travel company for any Italy travel and will not hesitate to use them again. 

This travel company made our trip to Greece spectacular!Maria worked with me personally to tailor this excursion specifically to me and my husband. The itenerary she prepared was detailed, easy to follow, and included everything we wanted. On our trip we had a PRIVATE tour of Athens with a very knowledgeable guide, PROFESSIONAL photoshoot in Mykonos with a fun and awarded photographer, and CERTIFIED bungee jumping experience in Crete at the Aradena gorge with an experienced organization. We also had plenty of time for leisure - eating, shopping, beaching, etc.Maria arranged all of our transportation to/from each location and activity in Greece. Our drivers made us comfortable, were always on time, knowledgeable, and courteous.For our stays she provided great insight on which places best aligned with our taste so that we would be most comfortable, then she also took care of booking all of them. We were warmly welcomed at each hotel by the staff because Maria briefed them on our arrival, so it felt like everyone already knew who we were. I truly appreciate the time and effort Maria took to organize our honeymoon. She was thoughtful and respectful of our budget during the planning phase. She maintained clear and frequent contact with us prior to our arrival and during our entire stay. In our communication she made sure to include a colleague to ensure someone would be available for any questions or concerns we may have. Maria met with us after we arrived to welcome us and provide a briefing on our vacation. She was thoughtful and gifted us some necessities since the airline my husband and I booked lost our luggage. In addition to the work Maria did to organize the trip, she was so helpful by additionally providing descriptive suggestions for food and other activities.This was a stress free and delightful experience, and I would certainly use this travel agency with Maria again for another trip to Greece in the future. 11/10 HIGHLY recommend. 

It was a wonderful trip to a beautiful country with so much history, natural beauty and most of all friendly people. Our experience was nothing short of magical! And we have to thank our travel planner Catarina for it!!!From accommodations (in Ambergris Caye and in Belmopan), to tours, to the guides, to all the logistics...there were no hiccups at all. We had different family members arrive and depart at different times/days. Very happy that the travel agency was very thorough from the initial planning until the end of our trip. They were extremely patient with all our requests and made sure they gave us many options to pick from. And the food we had was beyond good...big thanks for making sure that we had great choices as vegetarians including the food tours customized for us and special orders for dinner entrée at our resort in Belmopan. Couldn't have asked for more...Highly recommend using them for planning a perfect Belize trip! 

When my parents decided they wanted our entire family - 18 people total ranging in age from 7 to 80 - to go to Costa Rica as a belated celebration for their 50th wedding anniversary, I knew we would need help to make it happen. I reached out to a few different travel companies for quotes and to get more information, and we ultimately chose this one to help plan this trip of a lifetime.From the beginning, Pierre and the team at the travel agency offered great insight and advice, they asked lots of questions to make sure they met our needs, and with such a large group, there were many different things to take into consideration. They were also very good with working within our general budget, which ended up being approximately $1500 USD per person for the main part of the trip (10 days in La Fortuna, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio). We also added on a Tortuguero extension for 14 of us.Throughout the planning process, Pierre and the team were great at updating the itinerary and keeping us informed. We ended up adding on a few tours just a few weeks before the start of the trip, and they quickly worked to include those. (It is challenging to get 18 people together for a discussion, lol, so it took us a while to confirm some of the optional tours.)From day one, everything was very efficient and smooth. We had comfortable private transportation between destinations, and for all of our tours we had private transfers and guides, except for the Tortuguero extension. Pierre chose great hotels for us in terms of amenities, ambience, etc. though in hindsight, with 18 people, accommodations that are walking distance to town, restuarants, etc, would have made things easier.We also happened to celebrate three birthdays on this trip, including my husband's 50th. Pierre and his team surprised us by arranging a beautiful cake, balloons, and sparkling wine on his birthday!! That was incredibly thoughtful. Then they helped us arrange a cake at our resort in Tortuguero for my sister.Definitely a very memorable family trip with so many great moments! We saw so much wildlife and had many exciting experiences. Thank you! 

Shelley was absolutely amazing. She prepared a trip for us that included every detail that I had in mind for my son and I. One thing I was absolutely firm in asking was to be able to stay in a Hobbit hole. Other companies I had checked with said this couldn’t be done. But not Shelley. She did everything to make our dreams come true. We were able to see so many of the Lord of the Rings filming sites. The dark sky resort at the hotel in Mt Cook was completely mind blowing. My review could take pages to write, but I will simply state that if you are wanting to plan a trip to NZ, then this is the company to plan it with. And ask for Shelley, she is amazing.
