BASIC INFORMATION – An Overview of My Tour Service

  • They are RIDE focused tours for EXPERIENCED riders – Yes, we stop at the top of most passes, for lunch, for gas and at 2 – 3 special unique places each tour that would be criminal to ignore – but my tours are about the riding.
  • All of the tours start and end in Thun Switzerland, which is easily reached from the Zurich airport and right in the heart of the Alps. All of my June tours or September tours can easily be linked together to extend your touring adventure.
  • We have a wide range of rental motorcycles including an almost full line of BMW and KTM models. I can also help book rental motorcycles for non-tour members looking for a Swiss rental provider.
  • My goal is to provide a quality, personal-service, no hassle tour experience at a lower tour-on-your-own cost than the big tour operators. There is no mark-up on motorcycles, hotels, food or gas. You pay directly for your own motorcycle, hotels, meals and gas, which lets you save $600 to $1,000 per person on shorter tours and $1,500 to $2,500 or more per person on longer tours.
  • In exchange for a fixed fee, I guide every trip. I also make all your reservations for the motorcycle and hotels, and I provide detailed pre-tour information to help you get ready for your tour. You are welcome to ride with me or own your own.
  • There is a limit of 7 motorcycles per tour, which keeps the group size small. Small is good for keeping a cohesive pace while riding, for daily logistics and for fostering a close-knit sense of camaraderie on and off the bike.
