A perfectly successful 1st experience. I'm entirely satisfied with the vintage ride team, Jean our guide and the destination, Morocco and the wonders of the Atlas. Thank you for this experience.

Just a couple of suggestions: 1- Provide an arm band (high-vis color) which each participant wears on the same side arm so we can easily identify each other during traffic. 2- Also suggest giving the LEAD either a high-vis vest or helmet so we can easily identify as we travel. It was also hard to pick out Ravi when we were in congested traffic. 3- Would also appreciate a map for the day's route so we can follow along. I know this changes under certain conditions, but to have a GPX for the day would be helpful. 4- Perhaps provide a list of attractions to see or do when we have down time (if we arrive early before the tour or after dinner time). Here's my overall comment about the experience: My recent tour to Nepal was truly a rewarding adventure from start to finish. The accommodations throughout the trip were comfortable and well-suited to our needs, offering a great place to rest and recharge each day. The selection of food was enjoyable, with meal stops spaced at just the right intervals to keep us fueled for the road ahead. What really stood out to me was the exceptional quality of our tour guide, Ravi, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive, he added so much value to the journey. The activities along the route were thoughtfully chosen and enriched the overall experience, offering a deeper connection to the places we visited. I found the riding challenges to be just right—engaging without being overwhelming—and I was fully satisfied with the motorcycle that was provided. It performed beautifully and made for a smooth, enjoyable ride. All in all, this tour delivered on every front and left me with lasting memories and a strong desire to tour with Vintage Rides again. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a well-organized, enriching motorcycle adventure.

I have had ADV Training, so I was game to go most places with Ravi, however, I do understand the group was not prepared for this. Construction was very interesting, not in a good way, but I do understand that this is normal for this part of the world. Ravi was the best, he was attentive and was dedicated to our group.

The pace of discovery was perfect, with plenty of breaks (coffee/tea breaks, photo-taking, sightseeing...). Top-notch support from Alexandre, our tour leader, and Moussa, the mechanic. Perfect quality of accommodation and meals.

Wendy Crockett brought us together and kept us together despite the misrepresentation regarding the conditions. NONE of us are experienced adventure riders - most had NO off-road experience. Why did you not accurately describe the road conditions and level of the riding??? You actually state "less aggressive riding" !!! I ride in Mexico and it's tranquil compared to Nepal. Ravi certainly had his hands full as well, and he was amazing - you owe everything to them and Suraj and Deepak. I don't really have any reason to trust your company enough to book again with you because of the discrepancies which meant a danger to my life! NOT "Intermediate" "Smooth road" to Pokhara HA HA!! Your descriptions are absurd. Also the level of pollution and air quality is tragic. I know you cannot control that, but knowing that it seems increasingly and predictably awful and we go there for scenery, it's simply disappointing... and it's so sad because the people, culture, food are wonderful but I'd never go there again.

Overall, the trip was planned very well. BUT … this was described as a Medium skill level ride with 95% paved roads and 5% packed dirt. Not true! This was 60% paved and 40% hell. For someone that has never ridden off-road, it was a bit of a nightmare. I fell 4 times the first two days with pretty severe bruises to show for it. Also, I would suggest having a day before the tour starts to get to know the bikes before-hand. It was a little overwhelming to be on bikes you don’t know, riding with a group you’ve never ridden with, riding on the left side of the road for the first time, in ungodly traffic. We did incredibly well all things considered, but it could have been catastrophic.
