Thanks Nick and Nico for a fantastic trip – only wish I had more time to spend in Cuba! The highlights were the city walking tour and e-bike tour, both in Havana.
The trip was a great success. Thank you for putting it together for us, we were very pleased indeed, and will certainly recommend you to friends of ours who are lucky enough to have long holidays to plan. To mention just three highlights from our month long trip: Ecuador’s highlands with our star guide Maria and Sacha Lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon was great fun, Driving around the salt flats in Bolivia, Ziplining in Peru!
We have recently returned from the most magical six week journey through the north east of Brazil, Ecuador and Colombia with our teenage children. We cannot praise the laterallife team more highly.
A fantastic time all round – Cotopaxi, Napo, Quito and Galapagos – a full itinerary but really worth it. We saw so much of Ecuador and all the nature and wilderness it has to offer so the adventure and completely different environment was very refreshing!
Just a short note to say thank you so much and we had a great time. The real hero of this trip was you and the Lateral Life team. Your guidance and recommendations were simply fantastic; I lost count of how many times Jo and I said ‘how did they know about this’ or ’they’ve really thought about this bit… this really works’.
“Our challenge to Steve and Nick: ‘We have a six week trip in mind – autumn 2016. Help us explore and discover South America as active travellers, rather than tourists’.
– Our holiday to South America was incredible due to: the great diversity of each location, the enthusiastic guides and also the freedom to do whatever you want….
Before meeting Nick and Steve it had never occurred to us that six weeks travelling around Costa Rica, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands would be suitable for kids aged 8, 5 and 4 – and what an adventure we would have missed out on if we hadn’t met them.
Massive thanks for all your help, it was truly an amazing trip from start to finish and we had the best honeymoon. The difference between good and brilliant is the small points. Which you guys arranged in abundance.
Faced with the opportunity of having a family holiday of a lifetime, some initial thoughts of where we might go but with little time/no real idea about how to go about planning it, I fortuitously came across a flyer from Lateral Life and arranged to meet Nick.
Lateral Life organised a two month sabbatical in the summer of 2013 for my wife, my children (aged 13, 11, 9 and 5) and me. We travelled to Indonesia, Australia, Ecuador and the US.
The trip was indeed fantastic. There was plenty in there to keep both the adults and kids amused, just as we had wanted. We loved all the places we visited, and we could not have found the unique venues we stayed in without the guidance you guys gave us. The arrangements went like clockwork – the people you use on the ground did you proud. As I said to Steve, I shall be singing the praises of Lateral Life on the corridors of Silk Street!
laterallife ruined our lives… Before we met Nick and Steve – we were very happy with our holidays. We went to lots of different places and whilst they were sometimes a bit patchy we always got by and enjoyed ourselves – and then there was the day the Lateral Life flyer arrived
We got home around 8.00 pm this evening after sitting in traffic on cold wet dark M4 from Heathrow all feeling a bit depressed to be back. Ecuador is so beautiful it’s hard to readjust one’s sights to a wintry urban environment! The trip was absolutely fantastic
Following retirement we decided to have a 6 week trip to South America. Friends of ours introduced us to Nick Matthews. We explained to Nick what we were looking for from the trip and he added to this his recommendations and the services Lateral Life could offer.
