    We had a FANTASTIC time floating the river in Winthrop. Especially thanks to Claire. She emailed me soon after I booked all 15 slots and let me know they can accommodate more than 15 per session if they're all part of the same group. We quickly signed up more people from our group. They were so accommodating and friendly.
