Durango Rivertrippers delivers consistently excellent tours thanks to guides who clearly love what they do. Kelly, Denise, and Russ get mentioned by name repeatedly for their deep knowledge of local history, geology, and archaeology. They're patient, friendly, and go the extra mile—taking group photos, adjusting pace for slower walkers, and handling unexpected situations like illness or heavy rain with professionalism. The jeep tours to waterfalls are popular, with families calling them the most memorable part of multi-day Durango trips. What stands out is how guides share fascinating details you'd never discover on your own, from geological formations to stories about ancestral Puebloan peoples. The booking staff also earns praise for being helpful and accommodating when plans change. Multiple families agree this is an absolute must-do experience, with beautiful scenery and educational content that appeals to all ages. The combination of stunning views and genuinely engaging guides creates something special.
