Gravity assisted original & the best - Professional, super experienced tour group, which allows you to ride the Death road at your own pace. Great bikes & gear & the support van is well equipped. Damion, Omar & Micky were excellent guides & drivers. Kept us well fed & energised. With a superb visit to an animal sanctuary at the end after lunch

Fun, safe and exciting - Don't pick another group. Kenny and Luis make this safe and fun. A little bit more expensive but you get the best bikes, a front and back guide, all the medical and safety equipment (not that you should need it ;) ). Gravity has been doing this the longest, a portion of the costs goes to the wildlife sanctuary you get to your at the end.

Highly recommend - We did our death road experience with Chelo, Omar and Fico and would highly recommend! I was nervous to start with but they really put me at ease and the equipment was clearly good quality. The guides were friendly and the experience was unique. We especially enjoyed ending the trip at the animal sanctuary.

Great day - By far the better tour operator! - Amazing day - by far the better tour operator compared to others we saw on the way - we had far more information given about the track & history & were more prepared for the journey. Damien and his team (incl our driver) were fun and kind and full of energy which added to the day. The visit to the animal sanctuary at the end was an added bonus. Thank you guys!

Definitely recommend Gravity! - Gravity were a perfectly professional and fun company to do this tour with! Both the guidance and equipment were top class, adrenaline filled experience but still felt very safe. Special thanks to Kenny and the others for being so lovely and adding to the experience.
