    Excellent service. Kenneth and Marco were very kind, helpful and professional. They always made me feel safe. They are experienced riders and excellent guides. This isn't the cheapest provider for the Road of Death Bolivian mountain bike adventure. However I'm sure it's easily the best value for money. Their bikes are high-end and well-maintained. Safety equipment and warm clothing are provided, as well as snacks and water throughout the experience. They also gave us a refillable bottle and a buff each. Lunch is served in an animal shelter that offers the possibility of taking a shower (with hot water), also providing soap and towels. At the end of the day they will also send you some photos they take during the experience (which is certainly one of the coolest you will do in South America).

    Yesterday we took a tour with Gravity to the Death Road. The trip was really great and the view on the route awesome! Although my girlfriend was a bit nervous beforehand, we both always felt safe on the route because the guides were very competent and friendly. We always took breaks and the guide informed us about what to expect on the next section of the route. That gave us a very good feeling.

    Our experience of the Death Road cycle with Gravity was fantastic! Our guide Kenneth and driver Guillermo were both brilliant! My partner is a more competent and confident cycler so his decision to do Death Road was an easy one, for me it was more difficult but once we visited the Gravity office and got walked through the detail of the ride, the company’s focus on safety and the guides support for nervous riders I was sold! Right from the start Kenneth was really reassuring, talking us through each section of the ride, sharing tips for me to best approach the changing terrain and giving advice to keep safe at all times. I never felt any pressure to push myself more than I felt comfortable and Kenneth set a pace he knew I could handle when leading the group. As the road progressed and my confidence grew I could really start to enjoy the ride, pick up some speed and take in the amazing scenery. The equipment was brilliant and we felt totally safe throughout. We were kept energised with a good amount of snacks throughout and a full meal at the end. Gravity is the only tour to end at La Sende Verde animal sanctuary where you can freshen up and you have the opportunity see the animals the sanctuary has saved from trafficking, a very worth cause to support! A lot of detail but hopefully this encourages others who are on the fence to do the ride. Gravity is more expensive than others, but you feel like you get your moneys worth through the expertise of the guide and the quality of the equipment so we couldn’t recommend Gravity more highly!

    Safe, super professional and genuinely fun! Wouldn't have gone with any other company. I was a nervous rider and they made me feel comfortable. Also gravity end the tour at an animal sanctuary which is incredible and well worth it

    Came here on a wet day with gravity Bolivia, we were the only company apart from one other who went out on the day and I'd have to say there were no regrets! The bikes and equipment were amazing, other bikes didn't have any mud guards so people were being sprayed in the face with mud and rocks! Definitely a fun trek for adrenaline junkies!

    Cycling the Death Road was on my bucket list for so many years. It was definitely one of the coolest things that I have done during my South America trip and a Must-Do when in Bolivia! Of all the companies offering Death Road bicycle tours, Gravity has been in business the longest. And as I joined their tour, I could see why. Their guides were professional, and their bikes were high-end and well maintained. They also went out of their way to make sure we all made it back at the end of the day. The bikes had excellent, well calibrated brakes, and helmets and other protective gear were also provided. Our guides even stopped us ahead of particularly dangerous stretches of road to give detailed and clear safety briefings and instructions.

    Superb fun, quality and safe guides (Kenny). And nice driver Jose. Of course it does feel sketchy but that’s just the road. Great fun though!

    One of the best tours/activities/excursions I’ve done. Omar was a true gentleman when booking the tour. Our guides and drivers did a top job on the day - thanks Noah, Marco, Gilla! The tour started with a nice hot cup of coffee on the bus. Noah and Marco were super friendly from the start. They delivered excellent safety briefings, and clear instructions/briefings for each section of the descent down Death Road. Even when we were faced with multiple landslides they quickly came up with a safe plan and let us know the details so we always knew what was going on. All the bikes were in tip top condition and Noah and Marco frequently checked the tyres to make sure everyone had the best conditions to go down. Overall the ride was structured really well. starting off on a tarmac road to build confidence going down hill at speed. Then little parts with bumps so you start trusting the suspension of the bike. 100m off road stretch around the tunnel to get a feel for death road. Then onto death road itself - staring off with a short stint then increasing gradually to build confidence. And of course frequent stops to take pictures and get a briefing on how to do the next section safely. Best of all...once you’re down you can see the animals in the sanctuary and take a nice shower with towels provided!! Finally, loved the effort Gravity Bolivia make to be environmentally friendly. No plastic on the sandwiches and reusable flasks (which you get to keep). Hands down one of the best experiences on an excursion.

    First of all, the price at 125 USD is ridiculously high, there are decent companies who charge almost half of that. Second, they justify it in great detail because they are "very safe". With their high safety standards, they run a tour tomorrow while other companies refrain from doing it because there has been landslides and only 80% is passable, and even that they wouldn't recommend. No word about this from Gravity - so you can see that with them, surely money comes before safety. Don't get ripped off, go somewhere else.

    Wow what a blast! One of the best days of cycling I've ever had. They picked me up from my hotel, took us up to the top of the mountain, and then we descended all the way down along death road into the Amazon. The number of climate zones you pass through in just a few hours is ridiculous. The gear was in good condition, and our guide, Kenny, was fantastic. It's an amazing experience. Definitely go for it while you're in town!

    I had the best time with Gravity on the Death Road! The sceneries are amazing and the team makes everything for it to be an unforgettable experience. Gustavo is super knowledgeable and will tell you a lot about the area and the road. The bikes are great and I felt very safe on them! To top it all, we finished at an animal sanctuary where we could saw a lot of animals and learn more about the association’s work. I definitely recommend Gravity! Amazing experience !

    Epic day on the bike in the mountains. Although it's known as the most dangerous road in the world, the crew looked after us and made sure we were happy and safe the whole time. Highly recommend!
