Amazing Experience! Great views, experience guide, great memories! - We had an amazing experience whitewater rafting with Performance Tours! We went in mid August, and the water was a great temperature! Our guide, James, was very experienced, pleasant, and knowledgeable! My husband and I have some great memories from our trip!! Their views were incredible, and we even saw some Big Horn Sheep! They took us all on a bus down to the spot we entered the river. There were about two miles of calm water before arriving to the gorge which gave us time to learn the guide’s paddle commands and get comfortable!! Would highly recommend!

Adventure and Fun! - I was unable to go at the last minute due to injury and we appreciated their flexibility in upgrading my family to the more challenging Royal Gorge trip. Their guide, James, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area including it's geological development. Not only was he fun to be with and encouraging; he was an excellent guide on the water, giving clear instructions and making sure everyone was comfortable and safe. Rafting the Royal Gorge was a highlight of my family's visit to Colorado and we would highly recommend Performance Tours and our guide James for a fantastic rafting experience.

First time Rafting and it was a blast! - First time rafting for our family and it was a blast! We had Bryce as a guide and he was awesome! He kept it fun for all of us and taught us how to ride a wave in a raft! Would highly recommend the whole crew! Plus we finally got to see some mountain goats!

Chill Vibes and Epic Adventure with Performance Tours - Just got back from a trip with Performance Tours Rafting, and man, what a great time. Me, my husband, and our son had a blast out on the water. Bryce was our guide and honestly, he was awesome—super laid back, which really helped keep things mellow, especially for anyone feeling a little nervous. He’s got that easygoing vibe but also knows his stuff, so you feel safe and learn a ton without it feeling like a lecture. The whole adventure was fun and just the right amount of excitement. If you’re looking for a chill, solid rafting experience, definitely hit up Performance Tours and ask for Bryce.

Thrilling and beautiful Royal Gorge rafting trip! - We had a top 10 day on the Royal Gorge rafting trip. Adam was an excellent guide and a wealth of knowledge! Although late July and low water, we still got level 4 rapids and had a thrilling time. The scenery is beautiful! The entire staff was welcoming and knowledgable. We highly recommend Performance Tours for rafting the Royal Gorge…best price!!!
