Andrew was a very kind accommodating tour guide! My dad has problems bending his knee and Andrew made the raft work for him. We had a 6 year old to a 70 year old and it was fun for all! I do wish it was a bit more wild than so mild but maybe next time!

Truly excellent service on the part of all of the Mild to Wild Staff. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. Our guide, Joe, was phenomenal. A great day on the river and well worth every dollar!! Will be looking to go again and try out the Upper Animas!

Simply awesome! Great guide and experience! ALL 8 kids (ages 21 to 7) and 3 adults had a blast! We will definitely go with Mild to Wild on our future excursions!
