On the Trail of Genghis Khan

Mongolia was even better than expected! The freedom of riding for miles & miles off road with no fences & nothing man made except for Ger camps was truly amazing and the scenery was stunning! We loved seeing the huge number of animals roaming free - horses, yaks, sheep, goats, cattle, camels plus a variety of bird life & ground dwellers such as marmots, ground squirrels and we even saw (and photographed) the very rare Pallas’ wild cat! The accomodation in Gers every night really added to the experience & the quality & comfort of the Gers was way better than expected. The food was also way above expectations. We thought we were going to lose a few kilos on this trip - not a chance! The Himalayan’s were the absolute perfect bike for this trip & even 2 up, my wife & I both found the bike extremely comfortable. We are in our 60’s (and reasonably fit) but didn’t find the trip too demanding at all. In fact, we found it energised us & we looked forward to jumping back on the bike every day and exploring ridges & gorges when we stopped. The rest days provided a great balance of riding & relaxing (and catching up on a bit of washing, fiddling with camera equipment, etc). Lastly, the crew. Could not have wished for a better bunch of guys! From our tour leader Tuk, to drivers Dooyoo & Uuree & mechanic Tony, they all had a great sense of humour & couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommend this tour to anyone with a sense of adventure and a love of motorcycles!

On the Trail of Genghis Khan

It was an adventure with most things covered. Potential pitfalls were reduced. Knowledge of the journey could be improved with feedback from prior tours.

On the Roads of Ceylon

The trip was all I expected, there was one rider who was a very slow inexperienced rider and I think we may have missed out on a couple of places of interest as we had run out of time.

Upper Mustang: Adventure in the Forbidden Kingdom

There were some issues with permits that caused some delays at Tatapani. Need better support from support team. Vintage office staff should each ride the routes they are promoting so they have a better understanding of the challenges and daily logistics involved.

The Wild Spirit of the Steppe

generally a good trip and experience, and I was pleased with Vintage Rides. However, the i Have the following comments: The guide rode too slowly (sometimes dangerously slowly) we did not cover enough distance and could have ridden for at least 1 hour per day more, sometimes 2 hrs per day more. Staff were great, accomodations were great, the group was nice, but at 10 riders was the maximum it should be - 8 would be better. The way i had to pay cost me a lot in bank charges that were unneccesary. you should alter these payment options for uk customers. my final night in UB was disrupted by hotel staff!

Mustang: the Legendary Expedition

on the ride page more details on way a tour is "Demanding" like (High altitude, off road driving, water passing, mud, gravel) so we do not end up with a rider in the follow car for 90% of the trip :-/

South Africa: The Wild Escape

Loved the trip. One thing i particularly love, and some others might not, is giving back to the communities i am riding in. think you could incorporate more of this into the trip. the best day of my holiday was going on a township tour in cape town and being able to help a local kindergarten there. for people like me there might be more suggestions or opportunities along the trip to give back. i would also would have loved to have done some more challenging riding, but there was such a diversity of riding experience int he group this might not be possible. but oh my, the tracks we did in the four wheel drive when we went on the mini safari, would have loved to gone for a blast on them on the bike :-) awesome tour though. the only thing i would have skipped it the colonial ghost town we stayed in, cant remember the name, would have preferred to spend another night in the wine regions and maybe doing some more off road riding on more technical dirt roads. but thats just me being picky! loved the tour.
