This was such a fun experience! Both my husband and I really enjoyed it. Our guides, Bill and Nate, were great! They gave us a brief tour of the city from the river that was not only interesting, but entertaining. Then we got to the part where we got to go fast and it was a ton of fun. Highly recommend!!
