This trip/adventure far surpassed my expectations…

John

The Mountains of the Golden Triangle
This trip/adventure far surpassed my expectations in many ways. From my first enquiry to getting off the bike on the last day, the experience was exceptional. Being an 'older' rider, though I found some of the pace quite aggressive, the group appeared patient and allowed for the stragglers to catch up. Never was I made to feel slow or below par. The accommodation choice, the cuisine choice, the choice of cultural sidetrips were well considered. The bikes were comfortable and fun. Any breakdowns and problems were quickly addressed by the very professional and proficient support crew. The tour leader, Nicola could not have been a more polite, friendly, and professional individual. He had charisma natural leadership qualities and a very strong knowledge of the local customs, language and culture. I was comfortable under Nicola's guidance and nothing ever sermed too much trouble for him. I had such a memorable and satisfying experience. Thank you!

Great experiences on this magnificent and very winding route (what a treat!), some unexpected moments, and a top group with whom we spent unforgettable times.
Vintage Rides' response

Thank you for your feedback, Jean-Paul! Thailand is a destination we are particularly fond of for its mountain roads full of bends and its very varied landscapes. We are delighted that you enjoyed these winding roads and these shared moments, which are often among the best memories of a motorcycle tour in Thailand.

Beyond the Mekong
My first road trip. Great times with a very friendly and warm team. A small drawback with the motorcycles, as they took a beating: maybe a Himalayan would be a better choice for this route? My disappointment: day 8/12 (Sayaboury/Pakbeng). Nothing to see and an awful "road". Thanks to Tong, our tour leader in Laos, a great guy. Greetings to the whole Vintage team, I will most certainly be back.
Vintage Rides' response

Hello Daniel. Thank you very much for your feedback on this first road trip! We are delighted that you appreciated the welcome of our local team. We have taken good note of your technical remarks about the bikes and of how you felt about the stage to Pakbeng. Your feedback from the ground is valuable in helping us develop our itineraries and our choice of bikes on this motorcycle tour in Laos. It is also what gives these destinations their character: roads that are sometimes demanding and unpredictable, and that test the equipment! We will be sure to pass on your greetings to Tong and the rest of the local team. We look forward to preparing your next departure, with new tracks to explore together. See you soon.

Beyond the Mekong
A great trip, with very beautiful routes on tracks, and Johan is a great guide... But the level does not match an "intermediate" level... In my view, the route as a whole falls into a "demanding" category and requires good prior experience... But very satisfied overall.
Vintage Rides' response

A big thank you for this feedback! We are delighted that the tracks and Johan's guidance left you with such a positive impression despite the intensity of the route. We have taken good note of your remark about the physical and technical demands of this itinerary. The terrain of a motorcycle tour in Laos can sometimes be more playful and tougher than expected, depending on the weather and the state of the tracks, which can indeed tip the adventure towards a demanding level. Your impressions are essential to help us refine our difficulty criteria. We are nevertheless happy that you were satisfied overall. We look forward to crossing paths again on other tracks, perhaps slightly more restful ones this time :)

A very good tour operator... it is well organised... (except, for my part, in Peru the meals were very complicated...) but here in Laos and in Vietnam it was very, very good
Vintage Rides' response

Thank you very much for your feedback and your trust, Laurent. We are delighted to read that you enjoyed your motorcycle tour in Laos and appreciated the organisation. Regarding your experience of the meals in Peru, it is true that a change of cuisine can take a little time to get used to. On our trips, we try as much as possible to introduce you to the culture of the country through its food, while making sure we offer options that suit as many people as possible. Your feedback is of course valuable and helps us adjust where we can. We look forward to seeing you on the road for your next adventure with Vintage Rides.
