Frequently Asked Questions

 


Why would I choose Active Travel Connection?


We are travel experts who provide prompt and professional service. We have personally traveled with most of the major companies; Mountain Travel Sobek, Wilderness Travel, Backroads, Country Walkers, etc. We know who does what and who does it best.

We research (and travel with) small "niche" companies that are very, very good and who specialize in perhaps one activity or a particular area. Want to hike in Switzerland or do a wine-tasting tour of Spain? Or celebrate an anniversary on a barge trip through the South of France with a few close friends? Or take the grandchildren on an unforgettable trip to the Galapagos?
 

Is there an active/adventure trip for a "couch potato"?

Yes! There are many exotic destinations that require very little in terms of fitness. Our mission is the selection of the perfect level of activity to match your interests and preference to location. Have high blood pressure or other physical limitations? Well....we’ll keep you close to sea level with activities you can enjoy without feeling intimidated.
Many people are attracted to "active" vacations, only to learn (the hard way) that they really did not know what they were getting into.
 

What if I need airfare or other elements connected with the travel package?

We can help with cars, hotels, rail passes, visas, immunization recommendations, etc. We are affiliated with a large, full-service travel agency that can handle all pre-trip and post-trip arrangements.
No concern is too small, no dream is too big.
 

What about service fees?
