A comment on your question of…

A comment on your question of price. I am 34 years of age and an American. It is difficult for me and my spouse to secure two weeks off of work and the price, while very fair, is very steep for our age group. My wife and I are lucky in that we are both nurses so we have 12 hour shifts/can orient our schedules easier than others to get time off. Others like us (Americans in their late 20s/early 30s) will find affording this type of trip and getting the time off to take it near impossible. If they do decide to, it will be roughly a year or two in advance so that they can secure the time off of work. Other shift workers like us (EMS/ambulance, Fire, Police, Nurses) may find it easier to afford and take the time off needed for this type of trip but it will be difficult. My wife and I will DEFINITELY be taking more trips with Vintage, but we currently have no one else we can convince to go because of the investment of money and time. You may find that more Americans in our age group will go for shorter trips that are more affordable and nearer to home/less travel time to get to the start and then will convert to a higher sale later on because they see the value and can plan 1-2 years in advance.

Vintage Rides absolutely under-promised and over-delivered on this tour. From incredible homemade meals in private homes to the finest restaurants in the cities, from enjoying flawless twisties to challenging ourselves off-road. The group was great, Josh was incredible, and the whole experience was so much more than I ever imagined. I can't wait to do it all again in a new destination!

The itinerary of the trip was not the same as the one we received before departure. There was no overnight stay in Tukuche which meant that we spent less time in Mustang than expected. It was more of a general tour of Nepal with a few days in the mountains… The roads in Mustang are getting better so you cover the distances more quickly. To keep it as a Mustang tour you should plan more days there, perhaps by dispensing with the visit to Chitwan. Also, as the roads get better, it will become less of an “adventure” tour. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed it!

Its not about the place or destination , the geography or scenery , hotels or food - its about the people - everytime. I remember the places and sights - but the enjoyment comes from the people i have travelled with and the people i have met.

My one definite grievance was the…

My one definite grievance was the at the end, you very pettily, [I think], took money for small amounts of superficial damage from nearly every rider. With such a challenging adventure you should expect this to happen. The pricing was high enough to cover these minor events. Accommodation and food were sufficient for the environment but nothing compared to my previous trip so the cost would not have been as expensive. Surely the extra few hundred euro's wasn't worth the bad thoughts voiced by members of the ride. This is the reason that I would not book another trip through your company or recommend you to people or friends. Regards Errol

a annoter world; I can't believe it before; a unique experience with a permanent stress; weather did not play with us; Bad road and local traffic requires our attention; no possibilities to look on countryside...

I really don't think the trip could have been better for me. I was the only Englishman on the trip but didn't feel left out at all, maybe it was better because of that. There's the possibility that if the group was a 50/50 French/English split, it would become two separate groups, and that's not what I went for. This was definitely the most exciting/spectacular/tiring trip I've done for many years. 100%
