Very nice trip to Madhya Pradesh…

Luxury Tour in Madhya Pradesh

A wonderful trip to Madhya Pradesh, which has retained its authenticity. The extension to VANARASI is a must.

Great trip to Bhutan;

Guillaume

The Dragon Kingdom

A very high quality trip to Bhutan. It's a magnificent country that the proposed route covers very well. Vintage Rides' local organization is very good, everything runs very smoothly and the motorcycle/mechanical aspects are very well managed. One point for improvement would be to leave the main road that crosses the country from west to east more often, perhaps for a detour to the north / the peaks, which could have brought more variety to the route. Another point for improvement is the dubious management of the end of our stay and our return to Paro. The proposed itinerary made no provision for dealing with possible weather difficulties on departure from Yonphula airport, which locals know to be unreliable (planes only land there with perfect visibility). We found ourselves in this situation. Without asking our opinion, the organization chose to make us cross the country by car overnight. This meant over 500km of mountain roads at 30-40km/h, with drivers falling asleep at the wheel (the Bhutanese make this journey in two days, they told us at the outset that it wasn't possible), fog, heavy rain and landslides (members of our group walked in front of the cars to clear rocks that had just fallen onto the road). A mind-boggling and unacceptable level of danger that seems to be explained only by vintage rides' desire to preserve its margin (we would logically have missed our return to Delhi) at the expense of participants' safety. As a young father, I can't accept finding myself in this situation through the fault of others, and can't recommend traveling with Vintage Rides. On the other hand, if you're old, your children are independent and you're looking for adventure/potentially dying in unusual circumstances, then Vintage Rides is for you!

A trip that lived up to my expectations;

The Wonders of the Atlas Mountains

A trip that lived up to my expectations, even if we had to abandon part of the Atlas due to severe weather conditions. But at that point, John M'Baye, our truly exceptional guide, and the Vintage Rides team bounced back quickly to offer us new options (routes, accommodation, scenery, activities) that satisfied the whole group. A very friendly group atmosphere, with entertainment shared between the riders and our guide. Well-chosen places and people. Surprisingly pleasant little bikes. A technically very accessible mini-adventure where you learn a lot.

The Wonders of the Atlas Mountains

This is my first organized trip, so I left with a few preconceived ideas. I was afraid of the tourist trap, but not at all: nice roads, beautiful landscapes and above all, we were often alone in the world.

Bhutan is a truely fantastic trip…

Philip

The Dragon Kingdom

Bhutan is a truely fantastic trip - I'm sure it will be one of your more popular trips. It is great riding on good tarmac ... until you come across a landslide and the road is washed away and you ride in gravel and mud. The scenery and temples and villages are excellent. The 'European' menu in hotels is bland - the 'Indian' menu much much better. The Bhutanese people are so calm and helpful and are a pleasure to meet. No one tries to sell you anything - you have to ask, it is great.
