LEIDENSCHAFT ZUM TEILEN

“From the moment I was met at Ulaanbaatar airport to the moment of my departure my dealings with Vintage Rides was a smooth and professional process. The Hotel was a more than I expected, and the free breakfast every morning was most welcome. The actual bike tour however was something else, and all in all an unforgettable experience. Everyday we rode on different terrain in different conditions all the while surrounded by spectacular scenery. One day your riding on an ice covered lake under clear blue skies and the next your forging your way through ice and slush as they snow falls all around. A pure riding experience for the motorcycle connoisseur. We also experienced local food, customs and hospitality as we were lucky enough to stay with traditional Mongolian families. The support staff were outstanding, taking care of all our needs. Especially the mechanic whom seemingly performed miracles at the end of every days ride to keep us all on the road. And then there were our guides Francois and Jean. I cannot speak more highly of these two, especially Francois, he has the patients of a saint and dealt with all dramas in a cool calm and collected manner. Simply an experience I wont forget in a hurry and my hope is to ride with Vintage Rides again someday.”

“The adventure to Nepal was everything I expected & 100% more. A true experience of a lifetime.”

“Super guide, merci Sebastien”

“Just finished a Ramble of Rajasthan. Before I went I was a bit apprehensive, but I needn't have worried. From the 1st time I met the rest of the group it was FANTASTIC ! The tour guide (Deepak) mechanic (Junaid) and support driver (Israr) were all great as well as a great laugh.I have been riding road bikes for 40 yrs , so my 1st time off-road was a bit nervy , but the Royal Enfield handled it without a murmur. The support and correspondence from the whole Vintage Rides team from start to finish was 1st class...so much so that I am booking my next trip with them to do the Trans Himalayan Adventure tour”

“From the time of my arrival at the Hotel in Chiang Mai each hour was filled with new and exciting experiences. Firstly there was a meeting with the rest of the team for the briefing of our 12 stage tour around the Northern perimeter of the country and a couple of days to enjoy the city of Chiang Mai. After the allocation of a Royal Enfield 500cc Bullet to each rider the main adventure began with all concerns for organisation handled dispelled by Vintage Rides. We stayed in some very comfortable hotels and sometimes Resort Hotels, most of them with swimming pools and were introduced to the delights of different authentic Asian meals at local and good quality eating houses. Often we were meeting new Thai people and were welcomed by their genial manner, always smiling. At times we traveled well off the beaten track and were thereby rewarded handsomely with magnificent views and often a chance to meet the real people of Thailand. Our Vintage tour leader and local Thai guide arranged many interesting visits including a short excursion to Laos and a trip to the Opium Museum, in itself thought provoking. The motorcycles were well maintained with the mechanic seen at the end of each days ride checking the machines over, adjusting as may be necessary and finally wiping them over to be presented to us in good order for the new day. The route was mostly on roads with reasonable surfaces and included quite a bit in the mountains with steep ascents, descents and countless hairpin bends. Not fast but at times very exciting rides at a pace allowing enjoyment of the countryside we were passing through. On completion of nearly 1200 miles and with very few untoward events it is fair to say that Vintage Rides have got it right. Always a professional approach and building a team including guides, mechanic and back up driver that supported us throughout the tour. In advance of the tour the Vintage sales and liaison team kept me informed at every stage and have been a pleasure to work with. Nobody does it better than Vintage Rides!”

“Au top ! Du debut a la fin !”
