There is not enough time or space to explain how we felt about their guides. They were amazing. We were split into 2 boats and the Adults and the girls could not say enough about their guide. The guides made each boat feel safe and did a great job telling the girls about what was expected of them. We even... More

Our group had 6 and since the river was low we split up between 2 rafts both Kurt and Nate were knowledgeable. They customized our trip to let us take two quick hikes and see some really cool rocks and views. This was a lot of fun and I would deffenatly do it again even if the water was low.... More

This was on my "bucket list" and Im so glad we did it! Performance tours was top notch and made sure we were safe and had fun. Yes, the water in the Royal Gorge was low but it didnt stop the river from still being thrilling. Our guide, Gary, was informative and always had our safety in mind. Rafting does... More

This was my first time rafting. The tour was reasonable priced and it was a very pretty drive from Breckenridge. It was a little chilly so they gave us wet suits, coats, and shoes for free. The staff was so friendly, professorial, and knowledgeable. They gave great direction and educated us on the process before we even entered the raft.... More

Had a lot of fun this weekend on a bachelor party trip to white water raft. Unfortunatly the river was low so we got stuck a few times. Blake was our guide he was cool and we all just talked the whole time and he pointed out sights and gave recommendations on what to do.

Did our second trip down the Arkansas River with Performance Tours. Took our 13 and 10 year old granddaughters for their first rafting trip. This group is first class and the adventure is everything that we hoped for for their first trip. Liz, our guide recognized that our 10 year old was full of adventure and both ot them jumped... More

Don't think of rafting with any other tour group. PT was very professional and organized in every way. While on the river we observed many other tour groups taking what I found to be safety short cuts to race to the end so they could turn around for another trip. Al and Creed were awesome and full of info about... More

Water levels were low but we had some beginners and non-swimmers who were nervous about the rafting trip. Performance Tours was very pleasant taking our reservation and making sure we made it to their location. We arrived early and were able to leave early. All the employees were interacted with were very pleasant and welcoming. Had a good time on... More

1/2 day trip with Jeff as our guide, awesome!! Jeff and the rest of the crew, including Creed made sure we all had a very safe and wonderful time. It's a beautiful river! I was the scary cat of our family and I was never even a bit nervous during the trip. I would only float with this crew while... More

Our trip was great. Very professional company. Our guide was Avery and she was excellent. The water levels are extremely low this summer because there wasn't much snow during the winter months. So our trip was Level II and about three Level III rapids. This was perfect for us as our first trip, but if you are more experienced be... More
