    Getting ready for the upper Colorado tour.
    Denise M.

    Today my family of 4; 2 sons ages 4 and 5, husband and I went on the Mad Adventures Upper Colorado white water rafting and it was a blast. It doesn't get to crazy, we have never been white water rafting or canoeing or kayaking so we have zero experience. But Ricardo our guide always made me feel safe. We all loved it so much. Once the kids get older we will try one more advanced.

    We were really looking forward to our ATV tour with Grand Adventures and showed up early for what…read morewe believed was our scheduled tour. Unfortunately, we had made an honest mistake and accidentally booked it for the following week--when we would no longer be in town. We immediately contacted the business while we were at the location, explained the situation, and asked about a refund or reschedule. We were told we could receive a refund minus a 7.5% fee--roughly $30--for "processing." When we kindly asked for a full refund, the staff member not only refused but claimed that because she had to be on the phone and "click a button," we had now cost the business money. She stood firm that no matter the situation, a 100% refund would not be given. It's one thing to have a policy. It's another to treat a customer's good faith mistake with zero flexibility and then blame the cost of customer service on them. We didn't use any equipment, take anyone else's spot, or cancel last minute--we simply misread the date and immediately tried to make it right. $30 is a small amount, but it speaks volumes about how this company handles honest errors. We will absolutely book with another adventure company next time we're in Winter Park--one that values people over rigid policy and doesn't treat a polite refund request like an inconvenience.

    Had a great time super service! Everyone was very helpful . The tour was awesome stopping getting…read morepics in and enjoying the views spectacular! I would highly refer this company

    Book with caution. Some advertised claims are not accurate, and you may be on your own. Summary of…read moreour experience in late Sept 2024: We reserved a 2 person Honda Talon S2 ATV the day prior and a follow up text was provided. I let the business know we were new to the area and just wanted an easy trail to see the fall colors. I was assured that the trail recommended was a good fit and they said maps and waypoints would be provided (also stated on the website). We arrived 10 min before the appointment time (7:30 AM) and there was no one there. I texted the owner and then they sent someone who arrived just before 8:00 AM. The employee (Christian) would not provide us any maps or waypoints for the recommended trail. He said it was simple to navigate, well-marked and no maps existed. We argued about this, but he said he could do nothing. I have done many off-road trails in places like Moab, Utah and California, waypoints based on mileage or simple maps are always provided. In the end I took his word. He said it was a large loop of about 30 miles and easily done in a half day. My concerns: - The employee told us he would take 10% off for the late release at 8:20 AM and add an extra hour to the rental. I did not look closely at the receipt since we were in a rush and noticed later that we were charged full price which did not include stated discount. - The tow vehicle had an 1/8 of tank of fuel - not enough to cover the tow distance. We had to waste time to fuel it on the way to the trail head. - The ATV was not prepped for us. Dirty, dusty, muddy. - As suspected, the trail was not well marked. There were at least 4 unclear intersections with some markings (like #200, 200A) but this is meaningless without a map. I could not download a map myself the night before. One turn led us up a 3 mile dead-end spur to a radio tower. - We checked in with the person that rented the ATV to us, showed him our location on GPS and he said we were fine. - A few miles later, we ended up at a dead end at a fire road about 20 miles from start. The employee told us we were in the wrong place and told us to back track all the way back (vs. an intended loop). - We missed our return time but were not charged extra. The ATV was mechanically good, high quality and newer but clearly not prepped for a new customer. We saw amazing fall colors. The duration of trip was longer than we expected and had to rush the return since an expected loop turned into an out-and-back. We didn't feel heard when dealing with the employee. He also did not honor the discount and said to call the owner about the fuel cost and concerns. Two email attempts were made to the owner (Carlos), and he never responded. Their service did match their website or phone conversations. I find it nuts that they will send a visitor into the back country without maps and make you feel stupid by claiming 'it is easy' and 'super well marked.' These areas have limited cell coverage, and you will be on your own if you get lost or have a mechanical issue. I would not use their services again - horrible customer service.

    Overall a good experience but one bad apple can ruin it. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for…read morethe jerk employee, Ryan. He tried to make us and the other groups checking in feel like idiots. He was rude and not helpful at all whenever we had questions. Not sure if he was having a bad morning or if that's just his personality, but he definitely needs a lesson on customer service..Especially whenever you're spending $450+ on the day. The owner, Carlos was SUPER nice and helpful and made up for it but he needs a new employee checking people in. The trails and UTV ride were amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed the day after we got checked in and got going. But again one person can ruin the whole morning!

    My friends and I booked a rafting trip expecting a simple, one-hour float down the river…read more Unfortunately, I feel that our guide, Justin, negatively impacted our entire experience. Throughout the trip, Justin was unprofessional and seemed more interested in interacting with and messing around with the other rafts than engaging with our group. The most concerning incident occurred when he pulled one of my friends into the water without her consent. She was caught completely off guard, became frazzled, and swallowed a significant amount of water. When she resurfaced, she was coughing, and it was clear to us that Justin realized he had made a mistake. However, instead of a genuine apology directly after, he brushed it off as a "joke" and that my friend was "milking" it. From that point on, our group was uncomfortable and primarily just wanted to get back to the buses. Once back at the shop, he did come up to apologize to my friend, but to us, it was a little too late. There was also an interaction that made me personally very uncomfortable. Justin directly asked me if I had a boyfriend. When I told him that I did, he responded that he "didn't care" about the rest of what I was going to say because I had a boyfriend. Given the age difference between us, I found the comment particularly inappropriate and unprofessional. I would still recommend Liquid Decent as a company because the other guides seemed kind and professional, but unfortunately, I would not recommend having Justin as your guide. I hope the company takes this feedback seriously, as our experience could have been significantly better with a more professional and respectful guide.
