Exceptional - From booking to the end of our rafting experience it was a breeze. Our guide Ian was very professional, yet made us have a super fun time as well. He was knowledgeable, and has some pretty good jokes! Would 10/10 recommend him and this company for your rafting experience.

Great Guide and Overall Experience! - Our guide Andrew was great in leading us and in entertaining us. The water was low so it was a pretty calm trip which I appreciated, although if you are more of a thrill seeker, you should come earlier in the season when water levels are higher. There were 3 in my party, ages 24-50+ and the event was enjoyed by all. I highly recommend Performance for your Buena Vista rafting trip!

Epic adventure - Super fun trip, the water was low because of mid-August trip so lots of boulders which made it a more technical adventure. The guides know this river like the back of their hand tho and navigated it with skill. Gorgeous canyons, and the water wasn’t too cold at all. Shout out to Mikey and Lauren - thanks for a great time!

“Excellent Rafting Experience with Performance Tours” - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a fun time with Performance Tours! It had been a while since we’d been on a commercial rafting trip, and this experience exceeded our expectations. Our fearless guide, Dan Goodman, was skilled, personable, and made the entire trip feel easy and fun — especially for my 10-year-old niece. He struck the perfect balance of adventure and comfort, which made the day memorable for all of us. Booking was seamless, and the morning check-in was efficient and well organized. The whole team was friendly, funny, and incredibly helpful, especially for those of us who haven’t been on a trip like this in a while. Highly recommend Performance Tours and Dan if you’re looking for a safe, smooth, and unforgettable river adventure!
