"I just finished a trip through the Gates of Lodore
with Ari, John and Faye as our guides, and I just want to tell you that they
were fantastic. They were extremely competent, energetic, upbeat, and they were
great cooks! They were able to educate us in so many different ways. The
professionalism they exhibited was extraordinary. We had such a great time, and
it was due in no small part to these 3 fantastic young people!"

“Fortunate enough to experience a 4 night trip in
the Cataract Canyon as part of a teambuilding program… a resounding
success for many reasons, the main one being our river guides… what an
asset these people are.“

“We chose Sheri Griffith Expeditions for their
focus on family adventures and their reputation for quality. I don’t know
how we’re going to top this one.”

“My concern planning this trip was to find a
company that was ‘open’ to working with people with
disabilities…All of you were very accommodating and you never saw the
wheelchair as a barrier...everyone is telling me this was ‘a trip of a
lifetime’.”

“It was truly remote and desolate wilderness far
from civilization surrounded by incredibly beautiful scenery and an
unbelievable sky. When things get hectic, we like to remember the river, the
sky, the quiet and our new friends. We have already recommended your company to
our friends and will continue to do so.”

"Besides being a breathtakingly beautiful
area…your guides made the trip especially wonderful. You definitely had
three first class people running our trip, and we truly enjoyed the opportunity
to float the river in their care. Thanks for a special time. We would go again
with your company in a heartbeat."

"For a person who has not been there it is most
difficult to understand what the River and the 'Boatpeople' now mean to me. I
not only had a fantastic time and a great experience, but I also have a feeling
that I now see a lot of things much more clearly…"

"…there is an uncommon quality to these river
guides and I come increasingly to admire it. They operate with a quiet
competence and assurance in a genuinely democratic partnership that would shame
the teams in a thousand modern corporations."

"My boys were 8 and 6 and they loved it. My wife was
born in Manhattan and grew up in Westchester County. She had probably never
used an outside john before this trip and had not been in a tent in 25-30
years. It was the nicest 5 days we ever spent."

"I can quite see why both kids and adults living in a
cushioned world come back home with a new carpet under their feet: you have an
all-singing, all-dancing, vision-giving, dream-making team over there, and its
rare to find in this maddening world."
Sacha Vaughan
"As a woman, I am deeply and greatly moved and
inspired by experiencing the women in their strength of body and spirit. Your
guides offered up a model that will not be forgotten. Rather, I will take on
that much more because of what I witnessed in them. "
Susan Johnsen

"The guides were top-notch. They made the trip an
excellent experience. We liked their personalities, their knowledge of the area
(history, geology & wildlife) and their attention to safety."

"…commend Jose Tejada for his excellent work during my recent
trip on the Green River… ability to work with people brought five
strangers together in the short period of four days in such a way that we all
laughed and enjoyed the entire time on the trip…also did a superb job of
involving the two boys on the trip in the preparation of the food: from my
viewpoint; their involvement enriched both the boys' and my trips.
…throughout the trip he had control of the raft and was prepared to deal
with any problem which might arise…His skill and professionalism helped me
to enjoy my vacation and I am eager to return for another trip."

"... every person on the trip would jump at the
chance to go again…tomorrow, if not sooner…For pleasure received vs.
dollars spent, it's one hell of a bargain… My sincerest thanks for
everything."
