Our group was a family reunion of 15 ranging from age 70 to 14. It was an awesome get together. Royal Gorge Rafting provides a great rafting trip with lots of action. They are very personable and our guide Ely was a great guide. Some of us had already spent the week on some very big rapids so my 14... More

Our guides today on the classic zip line were Marcella and Carl. Two very funny, very experienced guides who made our time on the course quite enjoyable. They were both very patient with us, despite our forgetting specific directions for zip lining. Afterwards, Marcella sat with us and chatted at the restaurant (she was done with her tours for the...

Royal Gorge Rafting (RGR) is hands down the best outfitter for all your adventure needs in the Royal Gorge area. I have written reviews in the past about RGR but am amazed that each visit just gets better. From the ownership on down RGR puts the customer and their experiences first. Whether you are looking for a heart pounding trip... More

Our group consisted of adults and children; novices and experienced zippers. Our guides (Brian and Marcy) were very patient and safety minded with a great sense of humor. Their professional, concern for our safety and enjoyment made for a very pleasant outing. I would definitely endorse this activity for adventure seekers of all skill levels.

There were four of us in our group. On the first day we did the Classic Zip Line in the morning and the Extreme Zip Line in the afternoon (Platinum Package). Our guides for the Classic course were Linda and Sarah - both were fantastic and great teachers (two in our group had never zipped before). On the Extreme course... More

I booked a reservation for the zip line extreme course for my wife and I for her birthday. Neither of us had ever been zip lining, but that didn't matter. Our guides were Riley and Scott. If you end up going I would recommend asking for these two. They are very technically skilled and have great senses of humor. We... More

We did the combo zip line extreme and white water rafting. Couldn't do the whole rafting trip because of the wildfires but the staff was great and we had a blast. This was the first zip line and wwr for my family and they had a great time. Chris was a great raft guide

We had 5 couple staying at the River Ranch house for a friend's 40th birthday celebration and it was outstanding. The River Ranch house accomodations were outstanding, the bedrooms were well furnished and very comfortable. There were two bathrooms upstairs for the four bedrooms which worked out perfectly to get everyone ready for our adventures. We did the all day... More

I was a little worried about our trip through the Royal Gorge but after learning there are only three rules to follow in rafting and if those are followed no harm should come your way I figured our odds of survival were pretty good. The guides are all top notch as they don't allow anyone with less than 4 years... More
