Check out Moto-charlie on the web. my wife and I did his switzerland tour in 2006. 11 days with a guide and then 10 more days on our own riding switzerland and northern Italy. Dolomites are magnificent. Charlie leads all tours, makes all the bike and hotel arrangements. Charlie gets a daily fee and you settle up with the bike rental company and hotels. Small groups and you can ride on your own or with the group, meeting up at the hotel for the nite. Great tour, definitely a trip of a lifetime. Check it out and enjoy....Chris....
