    Great day on the Nith!…read more Third trip with Grand Experience. All have been great We had a great river run with Jaime and his team in early May on the Nith River. Water was high and running fast, with a couple of challenges along. Chili was great and both the kayakers and canoeists had a lot of fun. Just a great day on the water. Thanks for everything.

    I will try to remain calm as I write this review... TRY being the key word. We drove about an hour…read moreand a half to arrive in Paris, ON for a "guided" rafting tour. When I contacted Grand Experiences, they stated that the only rafting time they had for Groupon holders was 11AM. We arrived slightly after 11AM, and were then surprised with a "transportation" fee of $5 per person to the rafting site. That's a bit steep considering we were just transported on a minivan. That is probably one of the most expensive trips I've taken. You first meet up at their shop on Grand River Street which sells kayaks and other paddling gear. You then drive to what will end up as your END point when you finish your rafting tour, park there, and are driven to the START point of the rafting tour. 1) When we arrived at the END point, we waited a good 30-45 minutes before the "transportation" arrived to pick us up. 2) We were then dropped off at the START point, and the driver left us to go back and pick up more kayaks etcetera, and told us that other customers would be joining us and would be dropped off by a bus. 1 hour, yes, 1 hour later, the bus arrived with an array of kayakers and the remaining lot of rafters. The rafting tour that was supposed to start at 11AM, didn't take off until 1PM. We were provided with life jackets (wet suits will cost you extra to rent), and seeing as we weren't doing any extreme rafting we opted to go without. We were a group of 5 + another group of 4 to make up a 9-(wo)man raft. Our guide would kayak alongside us. We were given verbal instructions at the beginning of the tour. The tour itself was nothing exciting, and I got fatigued quite early because it was basically myself, William T, and another fellow rafter who paddled the whole time. Everyone else really took the notion of "scenic rafting" to heart and sat and chatted. Even though I went on a Groupon ($16), I felt that the experience was horrible. The waiting without explanation thinking "Maybe they left us and went to lunch" was really annoying. I woke up at 7:30AM just to make sure we had enough time to drive up only to find out that I could've slept in a few more hours. I think I'll probably go with the competition (Grand River Rafting) next time if I want to do some paddling. Stay away from these guys.
