Had a great time with Abby. Pleasant time talking and enjoying the water. Amazing wars between the boats. Would go again.

We had a great time rafting with Mild to Wild. We floated the Animas River through Durango with Richard as our guide. He was a fantastic guide and very personable. We laughed and visited as we floated down the river and he was a super guy. My husband and I were in the raft with 2 girls from another group, young ladies who were very much there to goof off and be silly teens. Richard was patient with them and laughed along with them, putting them at ease and allowing them to enjoy themselves. They liked squirting the other boats and we played along, I felt like he made the trip fun for them while letting my husband and I enjoy our float too. Richard was knowledgeable and shared some of the river's history, which my husband and I enjoy learning about each place we visit. Thanks Mild to Wild and Richard for giving us a wonderful afternoon!

Thank you so much for your review! We find that sometimes it can be hard to balance different types of groups, but are delighted to hear that Richard handled it so well! We love Richard and think he is a huge asset to the team and are happy that he was able to make sure all had the best possible time! Thanks again and hopefully we can get you all back on the river with us again soon!
