4.00Unique and extreme Recommended
Great experience but felt rushed and unsafe at times

3.00We found Red Line Biking in the street and they initially seemed very professional. The day before, everything was well organised – we got breakfast, all the necessary gear, and were told the group would have a maximum of 8 people. We were the last two to join, so this sounded ideal. However, on the actual day there were around 11 people in the group, which already felt like too many. The group had a big mix of abilities, with some riders wanting to go very fast while others preferred a more controlled pace. Unfortunately, the guide clearly catered more to the faster riders. At times, the guide was so far ahead that those of us at the back couldn’t even see his hand signals, meaning we had to judge the road conditions ourselves. This felt quite unsafe, especially on a route like Death Road. One person in our group even had an accident, which added to the concern. We were told we would stop regularly for photos, but because the front of the group moved so quickly, by the time we arrived it was often time to leave again. Many of the stops felt rushed and we didn’t even get the chance to take proper individual photos like other groups seemed to. A lot of the ride felt like we were essentially on our own rather than part of a guided group, which isn’t what you expect from this kind of tour. That said, the overall experience itself is incredible and definitely worth doing. The bikes and gear were decent, and the lunch and swim at the end were also enjoyable. I’m not new to mountain biking, but even I felt the pace was unnecessarily fast and, at times, unsafe. It really felt like the group had been overbooked. Overall: amazing experience, but the organisation and pacing need improvement.
Very good

5.00It was all perfect. They were punctual, gave the equipment correctly, gave support throughout the journey and lunch was in a very tasty place afterwards. It was my second time on Death Road and the first time with this agency, I highly recommend.

5.00Just extraordinary. Superb organization, punctuality, complete equipment for the client, very prepared guides, prudent drivers. The route is dizzying, the guides give precise instructions. Being in the descent the fatigue occurs in hands and forearms, by the very irregular and stony track. We have to dose it. We went from the snows of the Andean peak to the Amazonian heat in half a day ending in a campsite with a pool.
Falling is part of the experience ❤️✨

5.00We had a super great day with our guide Mauricio and our driver Kenny. The breakfast was delicious! Fortunately, there were only 3 of us, which is why we always felt super looked after. A highlight was also the zipline, pure adrenaline! We also have great photos and videos to remember that day. The conclusion at the hotel with a lake very delicious buffet (great vegetarian selection!!!) and a great pool was perfect. Highly recommended!
