First time rafting in a long while. However, that was not much an issue with our guide Jared to keep everything simple and mellow. He didn't go over the same speil every other guide was about, just tested our resolve and understandings of rowing and off we went. The entire trip down the Arkansas River was eay going and mellow, in spite of record rains in the area. Jared also kept conversations entertaining and gushed on about his girlfriend quite a bit, telling us all stories of the cheeky jokes he plays on her. Good for that dude having a woman that drives him! After the whole ride, we were prepped and made the trek back pretty effeciently. Making time for another stop into town before heading out again. A dope experience all around!

This company is VERY professional. Super safety oriented while ensuring everyone no matter your age or exp. level has a great time. Very well organized and run organization! We did the Brown's Canyon Tour with PJ. He is super friendly, kind, smart, very knowledgeable of the river and how to navigate properly and safely. Cannot say enough good things about Performance Tours, its team, its culture, quality of the guides and drivers as well as the equipment.

Performance Tours provided my family with our favorite vacation memory of the year! As a nervous mom, I felt completely safe during our half-day rafting experience! My only wish is now that I know what to expect, I could get out there and do it again to enjoy it fully instead of spending time (needlessly) worrying! Chris was the guide who did most of the talking and instruction on the way to the river. He was knowledgeable and funny! Our raft guide, Brenna, was amazing! She made the entire float fun and exciting and took plenty of time to answer all of my sons many questions!! She definitely knew how to make the river both adventurous and safe! We can't wait to do the full day trip next time we vacation in CO. The views of Browns Canyon cannot be beat!

This rafting company was fantastic! our family of 9 (4 adults, 5 kids) did the Brown's National Monument 1/2-day Trip and had a great time, the first half of the trip was pretty calm, but that gave us a chance to practice our paddling, which we needed for the second part of the river - 6 sections of Class 3 rapids which were SO MUCH FUN! ... The water was COLD, but on a hot summer day, it felt refreshing. (if it's cloudy or cool, i recommend wearing the waterproof jackets they provide.) ... Definitely well worth the drive from Copper Mountain

I have taken trips on both Blue River and Browns Canyon and had a hands down awesome time in both places.

It was a lovely…read morelate-July day on the water, with some tricky navigating due to the season sunsetting into a milder whitewater flow. Our guide, Beck (aka Ms. Worldwide) was knowledgable and personable. There were three boats on the river in total and the guide team (including Tim and Killen (unsure of spelling, but it was not pronounced like the Irish Cillian)) was highly personable with great camaraderie. Seemed like they really enjoyed guiding together and working for the company. A jovial, knowledgable bunch. Which is what you want heading into a little death-defying-ish escapade! Our crew of strangers blended well together under Beck's guidance. She communicated very well through each rapids. I was unsure whether this rafting adventure would be either too campy or too risky, but for a comfortable outdoorsperson with some paddling experience, the Numbers trip was the perfect mix of adventurous and secure. There were no dunked teammates or capsized boats, but we did get stuck a little due to late-season exposed boulders. The RR team worked well together when we did, Killen hopping out to unwedge us like a champ so we could proceed along our mini-expedition. The trip took a few hours in all, close to 2 of which were in the water itself. The instructions were clear. The gear provided was solid. Tim's dog Connor was a good emotional support pooch on the ride over. The experience was well worth the cost. 10/10. I will ding the company on one front--they did have a photog snapping pics of us on the river, which were available for sale at trip's end. The price? $35 an image. I get the bottom line here, and for a large group pooling funds that might be worth it. But for 1-2 people snagging a single digital print? Hard pass. Overall, the trip was excellent and I'd highly recommend the company for trips on the Arkansas. Already thinking an earlier season, faster-flow trip with them is in the cards for next Summer.

There were only about 30 people going on the river that day, which is a contrast from other places which sometimes have to process hundreds of people a day. We got an adequate safety briefing and equipment fitting, and then we were taken by bus to the put-in point. We had about two hours on the upper part of the river, which was Class 2-3, and then had a lunch break. Lunch was absolutely amazing -fruit, cold cuts, bacon, cheeses, vegetables, toppings, 3 different loaves of bread - made the biggest Dagwood sandwich I've made in years. there was enough food for 20 people but they were only five of us on the boat including the guide. Then there were cookies to die for. The second half of the river contained the class 4 Rapids, and the Royal Gorge. We were well coached through the difficult ones. Beautiful especially when we floated under the Royal Gorge Bridge, about 1200 feet above us. By the end of the day, we really felt that we had an exciting experience that we had earned through our hard paddling. Joe, the guide, had a great attitude with all appropriate safety consciousness, with an encouraging and humorous personality. Equipment was in top shape.
