"A dream come true for us first-timer Dallas suburbanite knuckleheads. I felt like we were on National Geographic Explorer, not just watching it on tv. The Los Rios people showed us a unique glimpse of nature and America that is vanishing, with an absolutely perfect chemistry of safety, fun, and total professional delivery. Got to do it again ... Viva Los Rios!"

"Our experience was exactly what we wanted, [our guide] was funny, witty, and informative about our trip and surroundings. He really insured we had a good time even though the river was low. He made us feel safe in our experience, and really made us laugh. The office staff was very helpful, friendly, kind and on the mark! We are going to return with your company and recommend you to all our friends. Thanks so much, my family really had a good time."
