Customer reviews & ratings
This is a new adventure for 2025 but here are some reviews about The Adventure People! Absolutely brilliant company, by far the best travel agency have dealt with. The staff are just fantastic, so kind to deal with and go well out of their way to make sure you're getting the trip you want and are always on hand to help with any queries or suggestions you have. Had the best time in Korea with The Adventure People
Laura Nov, 2024 VerifiedThis is a new adventure for 2025 but here are some reviews about The Adventure People: Absoluty amazing company that made our honeymoon so special. Rosanagh was so knowledgable in helping me tailor our experience and then Wendy stepped out when I panicked about US airlines not liking my passport. She spend hours making sure I was okay to travel. Our trip to Costa Rica was everything I could wish for thanks to these two wonderful ladies. Both of them are a true treasure to the company I would highly recommend reaching out to them for advise. I’m sure going to use them again as we did go for trip of the life time and every moment was excellent just as they promised and planned.
