Guided Tours

Let me start off with what Vertical Illusions isn't. It isn't an illusion. It isn't some hyped up flash in the pan fast food tour-trap theme park ride. It's substantiative. The Wisconsin Dells itself is a kitschy touristy place that's more suited to the "Illusions" part of the company moniker. Every single one of the folks I met within Vertical Illusions were devoted to your experience: your experience as their customer, your experience as a tourie, and your experience as future ambassador for the Dells and for Vertical Illusions itself. In a phrase, these people care. How often do you see that in your life anymore? My tour guides to zip line, the rappel, and the kayak tour, Justin and Silas, would have if they could have, literally willed me to see the Chimney Rock park and the Wisconsin River through their own eyes. For a tour they have done scores of times, they simply brought the tour to life; it's as if it was their first time down the trail. More than just some catchy or pithy or punny rote lines about what the State bird was or what tree is useful to the Wisconsin logging community or some other disposable factoid, those two guides of mine brought an infusion of wonder, reverence, and Broadway showmanship. Did I mention that they were channeling Abbott and Costello or Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters? Yah Yah I should have. Having one lined back and forth the Lion King scenes from Simba lost in the jungle, they broke into song: Acuna Mattata. Somewhere in there, between recitations of Disney movie lines (in character mind you), the natural beauty of the Dells region broke in and forced all of us to stare slack-jawed. If I could clear away all of the human made fluff that has been built up upon the area, I would. Still, surrounded as they are with all this second rate amusement park type barking signage, these guys find a way to remind you of what originally made the Dells a natural spot to plunk yourself down, immerse yourself in, and absorb what makes so much of this country still so worth jumping on the road and going out to see for your own self. My advice: if you are going anywhere near the Dells, sign up for a Vertical Illusions zip line tour and then sign up for all the rest.   Toby P Omaha, Nebraska

Our family had the most amazing Fall experience in Wisconsin Dells with Easton and his team at Vertical Illusions. The experience was beyond our expectations!

There isn't much that the guys at Vertical illusions do not do!! They give an adventure that will be remembered by all. When I was looking for things to do on our honeymoon, zip lining came to mind....
