We had one of the best experiences ever with our guide Misty. Everything just went incredibly well. From getting everyone set up in their harnesses, to her explanations on the history of the bridge. She stopped multiple times on the bridge tour to point out different things, all of which were really cool. The tour was very leisurely, which as an amateur photographer, I really appreciated as I had the time I needed to get the shots I wanted. She took photos of my wife and I and then sent them to us at the end of our tour and then gave us a list of all the trails she told us about on our ride there. Just an incredible experience all the way around and with everyone involved.

We had such an amazing time! So so worth doing if you’re in the area you won’t regret it! Our guide Josh was awesome and gave us all really great information, was able to answer all our questions and even took individual pictures of everyone. Everything felt very safe and secure the entire time. They even gave us a bottle of water at the end of the walk and a sticker which were both nice touches to the end of the trip. 10/10 recommend 🙂

Had my tour with guide Maddy, she was very knowledgeable and had things well organized. Going at the end of November it was super cold but a fun experience nonetheless. I would recommend this to friends, but it was once a lifetime for me!!

Incredible experience! Doug was ready and waiting for us. He was friendly and careful as he walked us through the gear set up. He made everyone comfortable - even those with a fear of heights made it across the bridge and enjoyed it! Doug generously took photos as we walked and explained many interesting things about the bridge. We highly recommend this amazing opportunity to view the gorge from above!

One of the coolest experiences in my life so far - The views were stunning and unforgettable and definitely the highlight of our trip to New River Gorge. Definitely a must do if you’re in the area and even if you’re not! Make your reservation in advance or tours will book up. They are open all year, 7 days a week - only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. We went on the 6:00 tour so we even got to see some sunset through the bridge!
