 “For a top notch guided trip, look no further then Grand River Rafting. We have been on three wonderful excursions with them… a relaxing educational afternoon, a magical starlight trip… and a custom-designed rambunctious party trip with a scrumptious BBQ for 40 people. These folks know the river, know rafting and know quality customer service… call them!”               Wendy & Dwayne Down, Brantford, Ontario
