Do we get a VR Leh-Ladakh T-Shirt? You asked what size shirt we take or a commemorative VR Himalayan 2019 Tour sticker?
Also can I get a map that has Dharamsala - Leh -Manali. I am happy to purchase.
Overall ok trip. One comment - I didn't fully realize it will be a french-speaking tour. The guide tried to include me in, however I missed out during instructions, left alone lunch conversations etc. This seriously damaged the overall experience. I think you should not let such situations happen and not let alone travelers like myself join french-speaking groups
Otherwise, great organization and customer service (e.g. with changed itinerary and flight out of Leh)
A great introduction to touring as my first visit to India, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh via motorcycle.
More than satisfied yet wanting more, I'd been warned about getting hooked in by India, it's landscapes and people, I guess this trip succeeded in doing just that.
One of your groups led by Thomas had an old couple riding with him. The old lady had only had her licence for less than a month, she had no clue as to which side of the road to ride on and road recklessly by being too slow and cutting people off. She was a danger to herself and to other road users. I thought that you had to be an experienced bike rider to go on this trip. I feel Vintage Rides neglected there duty of care and unnecessarily put my life at risk by allowing an unsuitably qualified rider to be on this trip.
You guys are clearly very professional with the operation you run. My only issue was i found out 80% of your clientele are French, with only a small percentage being British. My colleagues were very helpful with half of them able to speak English, but it would have been a lonely trip for me if this wasn't the case. It may be worth adding this detail to your website.
Some advanced information on social projects in areas Vintage ride operate would be useful and allow Vintage ride customers to become better involved if they choose
We were nearly stranded without any fuel at the end of the trip. I found it astounding we didn't have much more backup fuel than we did. Even if it meant having another backup vehicle, I would say it would be paramount in a region with such inconsistent access to fuel that we wouldn't have a large amount of reserves or caches around where we were traveling.
I prepared for the trip with several ADV tours and organized rallies, which helped clarify my expectations. The trip exceeded my expectations. Very intense and challenging experience.
