“Great experience. Both Guides know each and every stone below or above the water. They show you every footstep, so you can climb the raging water without fear. After the ascent, you will ride the water like a buoy and they will tell you how to do so.”
Urban rafting on the River Tiber in Rome, guided rapids plus Roman pizza at the end, with city views from a totally different angle.
“Our trip down the Tiber was excellent! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The meet-up point was easy to find, and it was only a short walk to where we entered the water. Seeing Rome from that angle was very interesting. At the end you are very close to the Jewish quarter and Teatro di Marcello and Theatrum Marcello, so add those to your day while you’re so close! If you’re taking this tour, prepared to get wet. Some of us got soaked! Bringing a change of clothes and shoes is likely a good idea. Thankfully is a was hot day, and we all…”

“Wir hatten mit unserem Guide Thomas einen unvergesslichen Canyoning Nachmittag! Humorvoll und gleichzeitig sehr professionell! Wir haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt. Mit unserem Kleinsten war er besonders liebevoll im Umgang. Dadurch gab es zwar Respekt aber keine Angst. Alle sind über sich hinausgewachsen und hatten jede Menge Spaß! Als Beginner-Tour absolut zu empfehlen!!!”
Raft the Arno in Florence for 2 hours, hit the San Niccolò slide, and see Ponte Vecchio and major bridges from the water at value pricing.
“The whole evening was great fun . Michael our guide was very accommodating. He had a party of OAP's youngest 63 oldest 76 - he is probably more used to doing this trip with younger people. At no point was he fazed by our group! He tailored the trip 100% to our capabilities, he coped with incessant chatter from our group. Delivered an exciting and informative experience. Having spent 4 days in Florence I would not have missed the River rafting Experience. Top Notch. Thank you so much a great excursion. thanks wendy”
Every kind of day out in the country, and the best of each.
