We took the tour up to the top of La Plata canyon. Our guide Fred gave us an interesting history lesson of the past mining activities in the La Playa/Durango/Silverton area. The view from the top was nice. It was a great day.

We took two tours. The Mesa Verde tour with Mike. He was a great guide and so knowledgeable, we really enjoyed his company. The next day we took the jeep tour to Silverton. Two completely different type of tours. We loved the roughness of the jeep tour and exploring the ghost town. Both tours had beautiful views. If I had to pick one tour.... I think the affordability of the jeep tour and the excitement is more in line with my family (2 very active men in their 20's and my husband) however..... the Mesa Verde tour was great and we loved that one as well but for the value I would say the jeep tour. I am just trying to write a review that could give someone help deciding if they have to make a choice. If you can swing it, do both tours and definitely get Mike as a guide!

Amazing day trip with Durango Rivertrippers! We went with our Durango based Girl Scout troop and had an absolutely amazing time! Our river guide Carson was well informed, funny, and insured we had a safe and memorable experience. We had three rafts with our group and ALL of them had an amazing time.

We had a 2 hour ATV rental that took us through the most beautiful scenery our country has to offer. We saw moose, Alpacas, water falls and what appeared to be an Indian ruin. Everything went smooth from meeting Jack , obtaining the ATV to returning it. Also we had switched our reservation prior and the company was very accommodating. Jack was very kind, informative and brought us a wet cloth to refresh ourselves after our amazing adventure. Already planning our next one for when we are back in town!

Our guide Bruce was both very knowledgeable and personable. We saw so many sites and he explained it all. I would never want to see Mesa Verde on my own as we saw and learned things that the national map does not include. Don’t hesitate, book the tour, you will not regret it!!Update: We did a river rafting the next day. Michelle was our bus driver, Veronica was our river guide and Eldon and Matt were my helping hands. Michelle was so fun and engaged with the "trippers". Veronica was so fun on the 4 hour trip. She was so fun and took great care of us and we had a blast. Eldon and Matt provided medical assistance after arriving back to the parking lot for an accident I had. This establishment is top notch. Again, I would book today but after I heal from my accident. Great, caring people all around.

We did the 6 hour Mesa Verde tour. The day before the tour Durango Rivertrippers called us to offer us an upgrade to include a Ranger Assisted tour of Cliff Palace, which we gladly accepted. Mike was an outstanding guide! He was kind, knowledgeable, and very enthusiastic about Mesa Verde's history and the wildlife that lives on the land. Mike is the kind of tour guide you always hope for. He even ended our tour by treating us to some music he played on his Native American flute. The provided lunch exceeded our expectations. Restaurant quality salad, and not your typical turkey sandwich. This day was absolutely perfect!

Our guide Sydney was AMAZING! This was my first time white water rafting and I felt completely safe and had a fun time, even got to jump into the water at one point. Michelle the bus driver was also very kind! Will definitely be coming back here on my next trip to Colorado!

The employees were all very nice, happy at their work it felt like! They made the experience from check in to end fun and enjoyable! They all had a great sense of humor! Our guide was Lars!! Can’t say enough! He was insightful, funny and really spent time getting to know us as we went down the River! I wished we’d had time to take another trip with him! The VIP deal was affordable and worth it! This was our first time in Colorado and whitewater rafting! Definitely doing both again! Thank you for a great memory! Wish you and all your employees well!!

We did a family vacation to Durango in June 2023, and one of the activities that we all were looking forward to doing was white water rafting. We chose Rivertrippers for the 4-hour rafting trip. Ayala was our river guide, and she was wonderful! Our family had a great time, including our 12-year-old who was nervous in the beginning of the trip, but by the end wanted to help paddle. One recommendation I have is rent wetsuits. The river water was cold (snowmelt runoff)! The staff at Rivertrippers were friendly and professional. I do paid photography work as part of my business, and I can say the Rivertrippers photographer captured great images of us on the Class 3 rapids. And yes we did purchase them!

Fred was awesome! My son and I enjoyed the bumpy, dusty ride that came with so much fun history and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend. The other people in the office were great as well. They taught and played Clackers with my 10 year old son and now we're off to go find that game lol. Thank you all for a wonderful time. We will be back!

We had a good time on the water. The location was easy to find, check in went smoothly. Our river guide Unger was fun, knowledgeable and had us entertained the whole time. I had concerns because of my two kids but we all had a great time. Would definitely do another trip with this company.

Went on the San Miguel Half Day River Rafting Tour today and had an amazing time! Zach was our guide and made sure we stayed safe and had fun. Jill was our driver and photographer and hustled the whole day, popping up at various spots along the river to capture our trip. All around this was a well organized and run tour. I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with these guys in the future!

What a fantastic experience! Many, many thanks to Bill our guide for a half day 4x4 off-roading adventure. The night before the trip it had stormed and I was worried the trip would be cancelled but thankfully the weather cleared and we were treated to snow at the top of the ridge, which contrasted beautifully with the orange Aspen trees. Since it was a small group and the weather was a bit iffy, we took a Wrangler for our vehicle and HOLY CANNOLI and it was SO FUN! I am on a week long road-trip and had wanted to splurge for a fun, guided adventure and I think I hit the jack pot on this one. Bill showed us some historical photos of the places he took us in the Jeep so we could connect the times and places, and as a History/Anthro major in college, I was super impressed with his knowledge of the human history in the area. I never had an interest in mining history but after the trip and seeing history and culture items in person, I found a new interest and was immediately looking up resources to learn more. I’m already planning a trip back to Durango to explore more, and am definitely considering another adventure with this company (I am determined to see Steve the marmot!!). I felt incredibly safe at all times on the trail, and had so much fun my face hurt from grinning so much. If you bring along your expensive/fancy camera or just your phone like me, the pictures coming out of this experience are INSANE. It was hard to remember to stop gaping at the incredible scenery and remember to take my phone out to snap some pics. 10/10 recommend, thanks Bill!!
