Arlene

The Wonders of the Atlas Mountains

Our experience with vintage rides was not as expected. The bikes are capable of maintaining a decent average speed, however, the ride was incredibly slow and although we knew we would be riding 350cc motorcycles which are not that powerful, we never realised that we would be running at an average of 30mph or we would not have chosen this trip. For the money we paid, we expected a much higher standard of cafe stops, the house visit was very unhygienic with flies and cats. The people made the trip memorable for us, the scenery was incredible and we fully enjoyed the adventure despite the negative aspects but the motorbiking side of things is not our style of riding whatsoever, far too rigid in formation and too slow so unfortunately we would not consider another vintage rides tour but we have been on other motorcycle tours before and will again. Changes really need to be made to make this trip as expected, unfortunately for us, it just didn’t meet up with our expectations. We had a great laugh and a great trip as a group and without this spirit of friendship I think we may not have enjoyed our trip.

Vintage Rides, Tristan and Mali created an unforgettable experience exploring Turkey. The coast, the countryside, the ancient ruins, the amazing food and the riding were excellent and perfectly curated. 10/10 to all who planned and helped organize the trip! Thank you, VR!

I have done quite a few trip with VR over the years and have always enjoyed myself. In fact Vintage Rides introduced me to adventure riding and since my first trip I have used them eight times. But in fairness have also used various other companies. VR has always been solid in it delivery and standard. Thank You

I wouldn't travel with a multi lingual group again. It was hard to spend 10 days with people I couldn't speak to. I would not ride again with people who don't have the necessary skills to ride. The various levels of skills and waiting for slow riders was frustrating

A Journey Across Worlds

Everything was great except I would have enjoyed it more if less time had been spent riding and more relaxing and taking in the beauty of the land. The group members were in a race it seemed riding at high speeds and covering over 250 miles some days. Toward the end of the day I felt sore all over, tired and unsafe to be on the bike. One of the things I’ve been told repeatedly during my training is to beware of fatigue as it can affect your reaction and alertness. Several times during this trip I felt unsafe. I felt pressured to keep up with riders with 50 years of riding experience against my 1 and started making mistakes which could’ve easily cost me my life. Daily trips should be five hours. It would’ve been ok if less territory had been covered and more time allowed for leisure, socialising, reading etc. To my dissatisfaction I’ve learned from other riders that other vintage rides trios have the same intensity and if that’s the case I will look for another company.

The vintage rides in Equador was excellent. The extension to the Galapagos Island was not. Poor communication, hotel was fine, place we ate very poor
