From Bali to Java on the Volcanoes Trail
The advertised programme keeps all its promises and even more! The programme is followed, but the guide knows how to add a little off-road to get as close as possible to magnificent landscapes, and has a few surprises in store! A very good balance for hotels and restaurants: often local but always clean and good. Welcome activities round off the programme: turtles, pearls, hikes, jeep... EVERYTHING IS VERY WELL ORGANISED! And a very good support team in the van: a local guide who livens things up, a competent mechanic and an attentive driver... So a big THANK YOU! And see you soon, no doubt...

The highlights were discovering the true character of a place. The behind the scenes. The people we shared the experience with. Low light was left in a local hospital but redeemed by the care and effort from Camille and Eli to get me home.

Bruno

From Bali to Java on the Volcanoes Trail
My first trip with VR, after several road trips solo and/or in a group with another tour operator in Asia. A top experience in every respect. The accommodation is excellent (apart from the lodge at the turtle stop, which is very rustic, but it is the only one available for this experience and it is very clean!). The route is very interesting and very varied, and the road captain, Boris, is excellent in this role. He takes his job to heart and managed to organise fascinating encounters with local people for us. The support team, driver, mechanic and local guide, is very efficient, available and attentive. In short, it is hard to find a negative point about this trip. Except perhaps the comfort of the motorcycles: beyond 1 hour 20 or 1 hour 30, your backside is put to the test, but VR has nothing to do with that!
Vintage Rides' response

Thank you Bruno for this particularly thorough feedback. It is a real satisfaction to know that this first experience with Vintage Rides won you over! You highlight an aspect that is particularly close to our hearts in Indonesia: not simply riding through the landscapes, but taking the time to understand the country through the people who live there. The encounters organised by Boris seem to have given the route exactly that extra dimension, and we will pass your words on to him. Thank you for your trust and for your perspective as a rider used to travelling in Asia. We look forward to seeing you on a future Vintage Rides adventure.

From Bali to Java on the Volcanoes Trail
Superb trip! Splendid landscapes, incredibly welcoming, smiling, warm people. A road trip on small roads, sometimes badly potholed, but that's part of the adventure. Boris is an attentive guide who listens, always approachable and friendly. A trip to recommend.

From Bali to Java on the Volcanoes Trail
My second trip with VR. The team was very professional and friendly. The roads in Indonesia are not easy, you have to cope with the traffic on the main roads and in the towns, but not all the time. The landscapes are sumptuous and the locals adorable. I really enjoyed the activities: volcanoes, turtles, snorkelling...

A very beautiful trip. Smiling people, rice paddies, volcanoes, turtles, fish, winding roads, the kindness and availability of our crew (guide, mechanic and driver) and finally a big, big thank you to Boris.

From Bali to Java on the Volcanoes Trail
A beautiful destination, welcoming people, marvellous landscapes, but broken roads and faulty motorcycles. Not recommended by motorcycle.
Vintage Rides' response

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Régis. We are very happy to read that you enjoyed this destination, the kindness and welcome of its people and the beauty of the landscapes. These are indeed aspects that leave a mark on our travellers and make this trip so special. We sincerely regret that the problems you had with your motorcycle spoiled this experience. Following our conversations, we took the time to analyse in detail what had happened in order to understand the cause. Your feedback has allowed us to further strengthen our motorcycle inspection and preparation procedures, so as to limit this kind of inconvenience as much as possible on our next trips. Aware of the impact this situation had on your stay, and as mentioned during our phone call, we wanted to show you our consideration. We hope that our goodwill gesture will make you want to set off with us again to live, this time, the experience we want to offer each of our travellers.

From Bali to Java on the Volcanoes Trail
A magical trip to the land of smiles, incredible encounters on superb and improbable roads, a staff who looked after us brilliantly: thank you Eddy, Ilam and Seno for your availability and your little attentions... discoveries around every bend. Tristan shares his passion for travel and his way of discovering every day... you get close to people, you pass through unimaginable places, and on a motorcycle it's exhilarating! Tristan listens to everyone, the group was great... Hard to come back! Thank you for turning a dream into reality... only one wish... to go again... Our eyes and hearts were full for our first motorcycle trip. Eric and Claudine
