Of all the tour operators this one is excellent - Tour was really well organised and victor the guide spoke excellent English and was in for a good joke. He made sure we felt safe and brought good snacks to make an unforgettable day. Only recommendation I could give is to improve the t-shirts they sell, they are not really inspiring so we bought the shirt somewhere else

Will do it again! - Amazing guides! Very friendly and funny. Accommodating to allow you to go at your own pace down the trails, while still making sure everyone is safe.
Lots of places to take great pictures!

Couldn’t ask for more - Great service at a more than reasonable price. During the tour there were three guides with us at all times and they brought all the necessary equipment. Didn’t the tour the guide would give instructions constantly.
On top of all that there were a snack and lunch included in the price.

Defiantly! Do it! - this tour was incredible. If you're a bit brave, it's the perfect mix of breathtaking nature and views, combined with adrenaline. The weather gave us everything: from hail at three degrees to tropical sunshine at over 25 degrees. The route lived up to its name. In between we had a great lunch break with vegetarian options, snacks and a delicious dinner in a great and quiet place to relax with pool. Ask for Victor as a guide and you won't be disappointed. Definitely one of the highlights on our 5 week trip through South America

Great company and guides - Victor did a fantastic job as our guide, starting with a great safety briefing and continuing to be supportive and funny through out. The bikes were in great shape and we would recommend definitely using bikes with double suspension (as Vertigo do)

Perfect Death Road experience - We had a perfect day with the guide Julio, the photographer Marcos and the driver Vigo. Firstly we got at the starting point in La Paz and got our gear ready before going to the beginning on approximately 4600 meters and we began to go downwards from there to 1000 meters. In the meanwhile there was plenty of time for the overall view during the death road biking. It sounds scary to do the death road, but with the perfect guidance of the guides there was no time to be afraid at all. The snack was more like a lunch and we had a good lunch at the end of the day with a very nice swimming pool. We enjoyed the day and we could suggest everybody to book a trip at Vertigo Biking.
Thanks a lot Julio, Marcos and Vigo.
Greetings,
Patrick & Kirsten
