French Toast - A Classic Moto Tour To Pondicherry

What an amazing experience! Vikram provided brilliant comms, tailored the tour to suit and was an excellent guide throughout. I wouldn’t manage the local traffic solo (I’m from the UK) but with Vikram’s hand signals highlighting hazards and showing me where to go, (even using his positioning as a traffic blocker / human shield at times) it was very manageable. Aside from the riding itself, the sightseeing, hotel and food in Pondicherry were top notch too. We even had a fun boat ride around the mangroves. I’d definitely go on a tour with them again.

I was really looking forward to this trip which didn’t disappoint. Girish does a great job of ensuring you’re well looked after. After spending so long in India’s cities, it was great to get out and explore the countryside. You get to ride through the villages all the way to Pondi, stopping off at various points along the way. Thoroughly enjoyable and date a bike are a pleasure to deal with.

Anyone can provide a good trip but Date a Bike Tours provided an awesome experience that will not be forgotten, warm hearted considerate hospitality like no other. In two days i got to experience the true colours of the south and to top this off i think i also gained a friend. I will be back for more tours and that's a promise. Loved it!

Amazing landscapes, professional and attentive team, an unforgettable ride in Ladakh. Thank's to you Date a bike !!!!

Great bike. Great guide. Grwat food. Great scenery! Be prepared for the madness of the traffic and the hotness. Overall, fantastic experience!

Had a fantastic two days riding from Chennai to Pondicherry and back. I’m not very experienced riding on road so was a little nervous, but I needn’t have been. Bikes and all safety gear was in great condition. The Date a Bike HQ is out of the city so a nice easy start to the ride with very little traffic.The guides were fantastic and kept us all feeling safe whilst riding at a nice easy pace. Had a really fun afternoon and evening in Pondicherry checking out everything to see and especially eat! Only disappointment is we couldn’t have ridden further, absolutely loved it. See you next time I’m in Chennai!

Had a fantastic ride down to Pondicherry with Date a Bike. The guides were amazing and rode at a sped that was appropriate and I felt safe. The bike I used was a Royal Enfield classic, in very good condition, comfortable to ride and fun! The tour took in some great sights and I was very well fed and watered. My top tip would be to do this over two days, with a night stop in Pondicherry, then ride back in the morning.

I had a motorcycle day with an extremely friendly team. They made me a road trip adapted to my wishes, and made me discover India in another way. I let myself be guided and I did not shrink from any proposal: spicy Indian meals, fruits tasted on the side of the road, visiting sites and places more or less known ... A lot of good humor and fun until the last minute. I recommend it to bikers since it is also an experience of the road that will show you to the conditions of Indian circulation, the nose in the wind and the senses awake!

A 300km Motorcycle ride from Chennai > Pondicherry on a Royal Enfield! What's not to like? I recently had a fabulous day out with the guys from Date A Bike riding from Chennai to Pondicherry and back. From the start the communication was clear and accurate and when I rode with them they kept me safe and looked after me really well. The roads were superb, the bike was even better and I was smiling all day. We visited some great places, they were informative and I was always stocked up with water and plenty of fabulous local food. If you've always wanted to ride a bike in India I can thoroughly recommend this, I can't wait to go again.

From the initial contact, through planning and the tour itself, the folks at Date-a-Bike were absolutely professional, flexible and just a pleasure to deal with. Totally above expectations. I've chosen the Royal Enfield Classic 500cc for my tour. The bike was ideal size, weight and power for the mission. Date-a-Bike operates their own shop and the bike was fully serviced and preped ahead of the 14 hour journey. The shop provided all the needed equipment, jacket, helmet, gloves, etc. so no need to bring these with you to India. The trip itself was quite exciting. If you're only accustomed to riding in the West - the riding in India is quite an experience. The site seeing was delightful as well, as were the food, coffee and other cool stops along the way. My deep thanks to all the folks at Date-a-Bike for making this experience totally enjoyable. Enthusiastically recommend !!!
