Adventure Travel Reviews

…the folks who have 'been there, done it.' In fact, if you'd like to speak with one of our alumni about their adventures, we'd be happy to put you in touch. Just give us a call and we’ll provide references for the specific trip you’re interested in.

In their own words, here are some recent guest reviews we thought you’d enjoy:

"I had waited 7 years to go on an Austin-Lehman trip. It was everything I expected and more. Thank you for a great vacation!"
~ Kate Pedalino, California

"We invited our friends and ALA made us look like geniuses! Everyone had a memorable experience."
-Rosemarie Nelson, New York

Yellowstone Family time

"We were apprehensive at first; never having taken a trip like this, but things just went from amazing to super-amazing real fast."
~ Jennifer Halpern, New York

"The help Carol provided in choosing the trip by matching our children’s ages with those of the other families was great. We now have new lifetime friends."
~ Michelle and Sam Little, Oklahoma

"The natural beauty plus the ALA "WOW" factor, the energy, knowledge and enthusiasm of our guides made this one of my favorite trips ever! And that's saying a lot!" Barbra, PA Arches to Moab Adventure

"A great travel opportunity and experience for single parents. My 8-year-old daughter had several other kids for company and companionship which was perfect for both of us."
~ Brian Bishop, Texas

"It was so much fun to see Costa Rica. I studied Central America in school and really enjoyed seeing it in person." Tara (6 years old). "Manuel Judy and Mike celebrating their anniversary

Judy and Mike celebrating their anniversary

was the best guide ever! He inspired me to want to learn more biology. What a cool trip!"
~ Thomas (8 years old) – The Jones Family, California

"Judy and I have been on many group trips (mainly biking ). We figured it up and she has been on 34 and I have been on 22. We both agree that we have never been treated so well and pampered so much by our leaders as we were in Yellowstone. We really enjoyed the Anniversary and Birthday party, and I am still displaying the frozen buffalo poster prominently in my office. You guys were the best and we would really enjoy another trip led by you. We give the Yellowstone trip, our highest recommendation possible. Best of luck to you all! Till we meet again."
-Mike and Judy - Montana Family Adventure

"This was our first father/daughter vacation and it was perfect. Erin truly was sad on the last day to have it all end."
~ Harvey Lung, Hawaii

"You're right, the toughest part is going home!"
-Eligio, CA Harrlem to Odoorn Adventure
