There were 3 of us on this trip (two of us in our 50's, and our 16yo son), so we were teamed up with a young couple to make a full boat. Will was our guide, and he was FANTASTIC! We had booked through a third party that did not give us guidance on when to show up, so we were technically "late." How embarrassing! But Will and Autumn (front desk) were soooo nice about it.
I think most of the guides that I saw that day were very concerned about keeping their guests safe, but Will gave really really clear instructions when we needed to re-anchor our feet to be ready for drops, etc. so I always felt safe. Will even gave us an up-close-and-personal experience with Carrot Top Rock which touched my heart (blah ha ha ha). The experience was easy and fun from start to finish, and my 16 yo rated it higher than anything we have done so far (e.g. Terror-dactyl, Pikes Peak train ride, Garden of the Gods). I know there are a lot of companies who could take you on this tour, but Lost Paddle was top-notch (btw, the guide in the other Lost Paddle boat that teamed up with us was Chris...and from what I could tell, he was cut from the same cloth as Will.)
