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.

This is a wonderful place to go to if you want to walk the catwalk under the new River Gorge Bridge. It's a very secure walk and you are tied in to some guidelines and a very nice walkway all along the length of the bridge. You start off at their business and then they provide transportation to the kickoff point You walk the bridge then they pick you up and return you. If you're in this area it's something you really should do.

This was an amazing tour with breathtaking views! Our guide, Larry, was awesome and gave us warnings in advance that it was going to be cold so we were able to bundle up extra before heading out. You get a lot of photo opportunities and Larry has a lot of interesting and entertaining information!

An incredible and unique experience. I was nervous about the walk as I am afraid of heights but our guide, Drama, was so encouraging and kind while ensuring I wasn't doing anything I wasn't comfortable with. I'm really glad I pushed through and got to see the incredible beauty from this perpsective. Highly recommend!

An amazing adventure! We had so much fun! Once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Larry was awesome and had a wealth of information and kept us engaged.
