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.
- 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 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 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.
