I am someone who has travelled by motorbike a great deal with one other person. Joining a tour is not normal for me. But it worked out pretty well. I would have preferred a slightly slower pace on the rough bits. I would have preferred more opportunity for a quick photo of extraordinary sights..just one or two more. But on the other hand I did not ask and should have done. I like the odd and different hotels. I like looking at the countryside but that is difficult in India when you have to look at the road so much to avoid all the hazards. I knew about that as I had motorbiked in India before. I did not like the van drive at the end. I would have preferred to have ridden the bike more towards Delhi or even into Delhi. I had come to ride a bike and not be driven especially by any Indian driver who I regard as all being dangerous drivers. I do also wish that there had been more English. The French were fine but it was tricky if they had no english and I did not have much french. At least there was one other English person, but he was not a ball of fun !! Not your fault and that was my risk!
The nationalities of the riders were only advised at the last minute.I expected a strong French speaking contingent but felt a little outnumbered at 10 to 1 although everyone was very friendly.I would have accepted a change of dates for a more international group.
A wonderful trip that exceeded my expectations and enjoyed the group mix and dynamic. Shame about the snoring from my room mate!! (maybe offer ear plugs)
I was very impressed with every aspect of the trip to be honest. The level of professionalism from the staff. The organisation of your team and the all inclusive nature of the trip. We didn't have to buy lunch or pay for admissions. The hotels where all to a good standard and the trip was exciting and fun. Thanks Stephane, Auo, Chai & Jen- It was fun!!!
The trip was excellent unbelievable riding! The only drawback was the pace traveled. As hotel spacings limited long distances were so fast I missed seeing the views as I was concentrating on driving!!
I think you should make all trips all inclusive. Nepal was but Laos was not.
I would not hesitate in booking another tour with VR probably market leaders.
You need to promote your tours in the UK.
We buy more adventure bikes as a country than any other in the world. That tells you something. See you in 2021 .
One Grey area is the float we have for food and drinks as we don’t know the budget. With our Nepal trip Francoise paid for our lunch and dinner and if we went over our daily budget we topped up the money required. So we were very surprised when we had to pay for our evening meals and have no idea on the daily allowance used. Saying that we were certainly eating like kings every lunchtime! So my suggestion is more transparency is required so we know how is set aside and then we know how to budget for our evening meals. Certainly this will important for more expensive countries like South Africa.
