October Rafting Group From my first contact with Sharon the whole experience was fantastic. We were a group of 6 friends who hired 2 rafts out of season and Sharon couldn’t be more accommodating. We were due to go out as self hire on the Sunday but due to the very very high water levels and fast moving water Sharon called and kindly offered us Nigel as a guide. He was brilliant. His many stories kept us all amused on the trip down the river. Not alot of paddling was needed which was very welcome and the whole group really enjoyed there experience. We will be back again in the Summer months.

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.
