First experience with Vintage Ride . Beautiful discovery of Vietnam with magnificent landscapes and cuisine. Thanks to the group and to Raphaël for making this road trip a great experience and for giving us the desire to go back.

This is my first organized trip, so I left with a few preconceived ideas. I was afraid of the tourist trap, but not at all: nice roads, beautiful landscapes and above all, we were often alone in the world.

Vintage ride!? To try it once is to adopt it! Thailand in 2020 with Stéphane was a wonderful discovery and a wonderful encounter. Peru in 2022 with Josh was just as wonderful, in a magnificent country, and Vietnam with Raphaël was another great encounter in a beautiful country.

Merci pour ton retour enthousiaste Anne ! Trois aventures incroyables dans des destinations aussi variées, ça fait rêver ! Thaïlande, Pérou, Vietnam… on dirait que tu deviens un vrai globe-trotteur en Royal Enfield. Entre les rencontres marquantes avec nos guides et la beauté des paysages, tu sembles avoir trouvé ton rythme. Alors, quelle sera la prochaine étape ? On a encore plein de coins magiques à te faire découvrir ! L’équipe Vintage Rides

Overall, I'm satisfied with my trip. I was able to travel with some very pleasant fellow travellers, and enjoyed the scenery and the encounters with the local population. The downside of the trip was the last leg, where, against all safety considerations, we had to travel for almost 19 hours on roads that were often broken, all night long, with thick fog, landslides and driving rain all night long. What's more, the drivers of the 3 cars making up the convoy drove for 19 hours non-stop. They were heroic, as we had to wake them up several times. The passengers in the first car had to get out in the middle of the night to clear a road blocked by large stones. Your Lyon team's decision shows a total lack of judgment. How can you make 9 people, plus your staff, drive in bad weather, at night, without taking into account the safety of your customers? What's more, it shows a total lack of knowledge of the country, because anyone in the know knows that the local people don't travel at night. When night falls, they park their cars on the roadside and wait for daybreak to continue their journey. . As a former private banker, I fully understand the economic imperatives involved in running a business. Your team's primary goal was to get us on the plane to Paro at all costs. This was to avoid paying extra nights and the $200/day tax plus extra airfare. But a serious company like yours should have understood that the safety of your customers is more important than a few thousand euros. Like most of the participants, I would like to receive a written explanation of this unfortunate affair. I think an apology, better training for your teams and possible financial compensation would be most welcome, Kind regards, Flavio Mossi

Bhutan is a truely fantastic trip - I'm sure it will be one of your more popular trips. It is great riding on good tarmac ... until you come across a landslide and the road is washed away and you ride in gravel and mud. The scenery and temples and villages are excellent. The 'European' menu in hotels is bland - the 'Indian' menu much much better. The Bhutanese people are so calm and helpful and are a pleasure to meet. No one tries to sell you anything - you have to ask, it is great.
Vintage Rides' response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Bhutan Philip, it sounds like it truly left a lasting impression! From smooth tarmac to the off-road adventure, it’s all part of the charm of exploring such an incredible destination. We’re glad you enjoyed the stunning scenery, temples, and the warm, welcoming Bhutanese people. And yes, you’ve discovered the secret: always go for the local menu! We’d love to have you back for another ride. Where to next? The Vintage Rides Team

Merci pour ton retour Carlos ! On est super contentes que ton premier voyage moto avec Vintage Rides t'ait autant plu et qu’il ait fait tomber tes a priori. L’authenticité des routes et des paysages, hors des sentiers battus, c’est vraiment ce qu’on aime partager. On espère te retrouver bientôt pour de nouvelles découvertes !

Merci Flavio d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience et vos impressions détaillées. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les paysages, les rencontres locales et la convivialité de votre groupe. Cependant, nous regrettons profondément les difficultés rencontrées lors de la dernière étape de votre voyage. Nous reconnaissons que cette traversée, dans des conditions météorologiques défavorables, a généré un stress important et des risques imprévus. Votre sécurité est notre priorité, et nous comprenons que cette expérience ait pu entacher une aventure par ailleurs réussie. Comme expliqué lors de nos échanges avec les autres riders de votre groupe, cette situation exceptionnelle est survenue en raison de contraintes logistiques dues à la fermeture de la frontière. Nous aurions dû mieux anticiper ces risques et, surtout, mieux communiquer avec vous sur la solution pour laquelle nous avons opté. Après avoir analysé les retours des riders et échangé avec nos partenaires sur place, nous avons pris la décision de dédommager les participants impactés par cette dernière étape en vous proposant un remboursement de 500 € par personne sous forme d’avoir ou de remboursement, correspondant à la journée écourtée et aux désagréments vécus. Nous avons également identifié plusieurs points d’amélioration, notamment : - Une communication renforcée lors des situations imprévues, pour que vous soyez pleinement impliqués dans les décisions qui vous concernent. - Une meilleure anticipation des risques logistiques pour éviter ce type de contrainte à l’avenir. - Une sensibilisation accrue de nos équipes sur place pour toujours privilégier la sécurité des participants, quel que soit le contexte. Nous espérons que ce geste et nos engagements pour l’avenir sauront atténuer votre déception et témoigner de notre volonté de nous améliorer. Nous restons bien entendu à votre disposition pour toute question supplémentaire ou pour organiser le remboursement selon votre préférence. Merci encore pour votre retour, qui nous aide à progresser et à offrir une expérience toujours plus sûre et agréable à nos riders. Nous espérons regagner votre confiance et avoir l’occasion de vous faire découvrir de nouveaux horizons dans des conditions irréprochables. Avec nos sincères salutations, L’équipe Vintage Rides
