Beyond the Mekong

GENERALLY ANOTHER FANTASTIC TRIP. LAOS WAS NOWHERE NEAR AS INTENSE AS NEPAL FOR RIDING CHALLENGE, BUT WE KNEW THAT BEFORE WE CAME. DID FEEL SLIGHTLY LIKE THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO SQUEEZE MONEY OUT OF US. CONSIDERING WE ARE A CONFIRMED GROUP OF 9 PEOPLE, A COUPLE OF THE HOTELS APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN CHOSEN ON PRICE (WHEN THERE WERE OTHER BETTER HOTELS NEARBY THAT WOULD LIKELY HAVE COST LITTLE MORE). ALSO, WHEN IN NEPAL THE DINNERS WERE INCLUDED IN THE TRIP (LESS ALCOHOL) SO WE WERE SURPRISED THIS TIME WHEN WE WERE TO PAY FOR THEM. ALBEIT NOT A MASSIVE ISSUE, WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD TO HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS PRIOR TO THE TRIP. BUT GENERALLY ANOTHER GREAT TRIP, A GREAT GUIDE IN TRISTAN AND A GREAT EXPERIENCE. NOW TO DETOX!

Beyond the Mekong

I think you should make all trips all inclusive. Nepal was but Laos was not. I would not hesitate in booking another tour with VR probably market leaders. You need to promote your tours in the UK. We buy more adventure bikes as a country than any other in the world. That tells you something. See you in 2021 .

Julian

Beyond the Mekong

One Grey area is the float we have for food and drinks as we don’t know the budget. With our Nepal trip Francoise paid for our lunch and dinner and if we went over our daily budget we topped up the money required. So we were very surprised when we had to pay for our evening meals and have no idea on the daily allowance used. Saying that we were certainly eating like kings every lunchtime! So my suggestion is more transparency is required so we know how is set aside and then we know how to budget for our evening meals. Certainly this will important for more expensive countries like South Africa.

Loved it. I would not return, though!unless there was a greater English speaking number of participants. I am not complaining - the tour leader and the other riders were very indulgent of us and made sure we were always included. It would have been a bit more fun if we could have conversed more with the other participants. However, it is our fault that we don’t speak French rather than anyone else fault they don’t speak English. I’m not sure how you could fix this other than promotion work. I did not like the hotel in Delhi. I was astounded by all the other hotels - they were fantastic. If I was to book again, I’d be very happy to ride with Deepak and Junaid. Thank you to all the Vintage Rides team.

Just a great trip

i think the hotels could be better. Most places we went to had other hotels nearby which were much nicer and only a little more expensive. Rarely did i get a hot shower and the breakfasts were not great. Food all very much the same

From Bali to Java on the Volcanoes Trail

A great trip with a great mix of riding & cultural experiences in a very diverse country. Sebastien as the leader is a valuable asset to VR and I would recommend others ensure he is part of their tour.
