Highly recommended - Fantastic experience, great value for money. The driver and guides (Kenny, Martin and Luis) were safe, experienced, gave good briefings and made a potentially risky activity very safe and enjoyable.

Two thumbs up for the Bolivian road of death experience. - Louis, Kenny and Martin were a fantastic team. They picked us up from the hotel and explained everything at their local facility. At no time in this adventure did I feel in danger or uninformed of the risks. Everything went at our own pace.

I think it was the biggest... - I think it was the greatest madness I've ever done and, frankly, I'd do it again. The Red Line was great from start to finish. We had the downtime of the blockages that prevented us from finishing the last 8km, but they bypassed all the adversities that they had.

Had a great experience on the Death Road! - Had a great experience biking the Death Road with Red Line Biking! It was extremely affordable compared to other companies, but still served a quality trip. The bikes were really comfortable (full suspension) and the guide was very experienced, helpful and funny! Thanks again for the great day, would highly recommend Red Line Biking to anyone.

Very good - It 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.

Great experience but felt rushed and unsafe at times - We 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 bad service. Not recommended. - The bus drivers are extremely disrespectful. They spoke to us in a very aggressive manner and with total disrespect, insulted my friend. Because of the blockade we were taken to a very ugly food place, which did not compensate with the package of more than 500 Bolivians we had paid. Very old and dangerous bikes, nothing to do with what was announced. I don't recommend it to anyone, worse to any foreigner.

Red line biking tour - It was an interesting tour, many photos were taken by the guides. However, these were in poor quality. The downlaod should work with a link about we-transfer and be valid for 3 days. After 1 day the link stopped working and "red line biking" did not respond to my message. Accordingly, I do not recommend this organization!
