Great experience provided by a great company/couple. Communication before our trip was great - really clear and helpful. We were given such a comprehensive Safety Talk before embarking on our raft ride which helped us to know what was coming up and what to do. We were SO lucky with the weather - lovely gentle trip down the river seeing things from a very different pace and perspective. Greeted at the end of our trip as explained. Such a lovely day - we would thoroughly recommend Shropshire Raft Tours as a professional and competent company but, also, as a friendly and great couple too. Thank you.

A great day on the river. Many thanks to Shropshire Raft Tours for a fantastic day out. From the start of the journey, nothing was left to chance. Life jackets were checked and double checked and then Nigel gave us a complete rundown of any obstacles/hazards we may encounter. Nigel must know every inch of the river, please listen to his instructions. The trip down the river was quite magical and one that will live long in the memory. So quiet and peaceful and plenty of wildlife. We even caught sight of a Kingfisher ~ beautiful.

Brilliant experience and great fun Sharon and Nigel were there to meet us and drop us off at the start point up the river. They explained everything to us and gave us a safety briefing. This is a beautiful part of the river, very tranquil with a few exciting moments thrown in when the water speeds up. We soon got the hang of it and had a very enjoyable day. Sharon and Nigel met us at the finish near to where our car was parked. Very well organised and friendly company.
