This was an incredible trip. Ecuador is stunning and the route is truly breath-taking. Raph was a superb guide - highly knowledgeable, laid-back and a good laugh. Also takes brilliant pictures! Nothing was too much trouble for him and Alessandro. We were novice bikers, and would probably recommend for people with more experience, but for us it added to the challenge, and made it even more memorable. Loved it - thanks!

Ecuador Galapagos trip. This is my third RV trip after India and Rwanda. Still perfect on site with Raphaël. Ecuador is breathtaking, between the Andes at over 4000m, the Amazon, active volcanoes and the Pacific! Everything is grandiose in this small country... Bring rain gear and sun cream! A very accessible road trip. Very decent accommodation - not 5-star, but not what you'd expect! Varied and refined cuisine, a nice surprise. Palm worm tasting in the Amazon included! The flora and fauna of the Galapagos are incredible. Of course, access is limited and protected, but the animals are not at all shy, the iguanas pose and the birds almost land on you! Be sure to keep your small Galapagos exit ticket, which is stamped on the way out, and bring $200 per person in cash with you when you arrive.......

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

Better targeting of participants. Level inequalities Few participants were at the right level to ride the track, and one participant was not at the right level even on the road, so we had to stop and wait for him.
Vintage Rides' response

Merci pour ton retour Christine, On te remercie d’avoir partagé ton ressenti. L’équilibre des niveaux dans un groupe peut parfois être un défi, mais on fait toujours au mieux pour que chacun puisse avancer à son rythme tout en profitant du voyage. On prend note de ton expérience pour continuer à améliorer l’accompagnement et l’organisation. On espère que tu as quand même passé de bons moments avec nous et qu’on aura le plaisir de te revoir bientôt sur une autre aventure ! À très vite - la team VR
