Customer Reviews
Thank You
I had the privilege of working for Tour West through my college years and will forever be grateful for the opportunity. Hearing these stories is like sitting on the back of the boat under the stars with the crew after the evening’s work is done. Really awesome stuff. Hope our paths cross again.
Fun listen!
So happy I stumbled upon this! It’s like catching up with old friends…sitting on your boat at end of the day, getting ready to make dinner, cold beverage in hand…reminiscing about fun river adventures. Love it!
Delightful listen
Marcey does a wonderful job of inverting the listener into the podcast. You feel as if you’re on the back of the boat just to someone telling stories. It’s relaxing and exciting. Entertaining and enthralling.
