- Dimartins10 contributionsCopacabanna tour. I don't recomend. Read the reciewThe staff in the office are super nice (Chris talked with us), I was expecting more for the tour. We didn't have the experience that they sold us. In the agency they said to us that we won't need to spend anything during the whole tour. Our guide meet us in the hostel and we got a cab to the bus station, on the way our guide (nirco) said it wasn't included some taxes for the bus and to cross a part of a river, and also a taxi to get back for the hostel. We complained and he paid for everything (I think he was trying to save some money if we don't disagree). When we got in Copacabanna we supposed to walk to the lookout but Nirco said we won't go because we Didi have time, but it was sold for us that activity (and to be honest it was one the thing that we get excited to do), but ok we didn't complain... the guide showed a great knowledge about the culture, the island and the history but he was a little in rush. We stick together with other group and we went back in a minivan. He said more than and time to us get ready soon to don't lose the boat or the van. We arrive in our hostel at 8h30pm, but the agency said we supposed to get back at 10:30. I think he was doing what was more convenient and easy for him and we lose the best view of the tour. I don't recommend do the Copacabanna tour.Written 17 March 2023

Can really recommend Christian and the team. I booked multiple tours through the company (death road, pampas jungle tour, and the salt flats). They helped in organising all transport to and from, Along with any other issues I had.

After going to many agencies we arrived at the height experience office. They offered us a very good price and were very friendly throughout the entire trip. The guides were very adaptive to the group. They also offered us very good and new equipment, especially the bikes which was very important for us. They also had a photographer with us that took some amazing photos and videos. I fully recommend them to anyone who wants a good and fun trip to the death road.

We were told we’d have an English speaking guide (both of us are English) and on the day we were with a completely Spanish speaking guide so we missed all the safety instructions about how the brakes work, which side of the road to drive on, etc. We also submitted a form with the sized of equipment we needed and despite the fact I asked for a small helmet, I was given an XL on the day so it was incredibly loose and unsafe. I would recommend spending more money with a better tour group, I think it’s worth it to feel safe.

This was one of our major highlights and must do from La Paz. The company were so organised and efficient in all aspects. The gear was so new and always felt safe using their equipment! Could not recommend this company enough!

First of all a hugh thank you to Height Experience for this amazing trip! We had so much fun with you guys!
The tour was very well organized. We got good new bikes, pants, jackets, gloves, googles and a helmet with chin protection like a motorcycle helmet (this is really important on the Death Road and not all agencies offers that). Our guide knows the road really well and always told us when to be careful, so that i felt quite save during the whole trip.
We had two professional photographers who took amazing pictures of us! They even send us a short video one day after our trip.
I really really recommand this agency for doing the Death Road Downhill!!

We did the Death Road with Height Experience and had a really good time! The equipment and bikes are new and the team of 4 people was really friendly. You could see that they love doing their job and want you to feel comfortable! The pictures that were taken during the tour look great and we got them really quick! The 5 stars are very well deserved! :)

Me and 2 friends went with height experience and we couldn’t of asked for more. We only had 3 people and had 4 staff look after us, English translator, a guide, driver and photographer. All the guys were so accommodating and so fun. The buffet lunch and snacks they give you are more than enough too. If your looking to support a new company with new bikes, great guides and super safe, choose Height Experience! 10/10 thank you friends
