Romance and adventure meet as lovers gallop the Emerald Isle or shoot the Rio Futaleufu together. Quality is most important when it comes to tour guides. Experienced adventure outfitters always hire the best and most knowledgeable local guides, as they play lead roles in providing successful, safe and enjoyable trips. If guide bios aren't detailed online, ask lots of questions about who will be guiding you and what kind of experience they have. Don't feel shy about asking for references either.
Prices vary greatly, and depend on location, accommodation, and guide services.
Although you may often be comparing apples and oranges, it's worth shopping around at several sites to find the trip that best fits your budget. The majority of prices quoted do not include airfare. Accommodations on adventure tours range from 5-star hotels to primitive tents, and depend on what is available at your chosen destination. The US government posts travel warnings for countries it considers unsafe. This doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't visit, but caution is advised.
