A Brief History


Once upon a time in India... When he first arrived in New Delhi at just 19 years old to study at Nehru University, Alexandre Zurcher had no way of predicting the boundless adventures which awaited him. Wanting to make the most of his time in this vibrant country, he learned how to ride a motorcycle and discovered an entirely new universe opened up before him. For Alex there was no better choice for this motorcycle tour than the iconic Indian mount, Royal Enfield. This experience was a revelation! Motorbike tours are synonymous with escape, discovery, and freedom, affording riders the ability to go anywhere and blend seamlessly into the local population. This vision of travel has been in our DNA since Vintage Rides was established in 2006: Motorcycle adventures with character, providing a unique vantage point from which to experience the world around you. When we first began, our pioneering motorbike tour agency specialized exclusively in India with a focus on Adventure Tours in the Himalayas. We wanted to make sure we were offering experiences that weren’t available elsewhere, including the opportunity to summit the highest road in the world at 5,600 meters. It was - and still is - an unbelievable accomplishment, one that few riders will ever have the opportunity to experience. The feedback was outstanding and demand for our tours exploded, leading to the creation of our first office in New Delhi. As more and more riders returned looking for new and exhilarating experiences, we expanded to offering motorbike tours in Rajasthan and southern India. As we continued to grow, we crafted unique travel opportunities across Mongolia, then Sri Lanka… Twenty-one countries later, Vintage Rides has a new headquarters in Lyon, France and guides more than 1,200 riders per year on adventures spanning four continents.  “I am truly grateful for how far we have come! I am so grateful to our team and the entire community of Vintage Riders who have taken motorbike tours with us since the beginning of this incredible adventure.” Alex
