Thanks Isabel and staff for the adventure and thrills. Highly recommended. - This was more thrilling and fun than expected. Our tour guide was Isabel and she was awesome. The tour has its chill moments of appreciating the scene, but also its adrenaline moments going into the rapids. It. Was. Fun.

Best Whitewater Rafting - These guys are the real deal. They are knowledgeable, skilled, and SO much fun to be with on the water! I've been whitewater rafting a dozen times and this was by far my best experience. Our guide, Christian, was fantastic and did a great job. I will definitely be coming back!

Best rafting experience due to the awesome guides - Devin was the absolute best guide! He took me, my 12 and 8 year old out with another guide, Cole. They were encouraging and super calm. Calling paddle instructions perfectly! He gave us confidence and made the trip super enjoyable. Can't wait to do it again!

Great Ride through Brown’s canyon. - Our family had a great outing with the team at Performance Tours, the check in process was smooth, they provided all the gear and it was in great shape. Our guide Aiyana was amazing, gave us an exciting ride through Browns canyon. She was incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and her passion for white water rafting was evident and my kids loved every second of it (19,17,15 y/o boys). Thank you for a great outing! The drive to Buena Vista was also really easy and scenic…don’t let a little drive scare you away from a great experience.
