About us
Sightseeing from the saddle.
We’re Dominik and Paulina, certified tour guides and the founding couple behind Motos & Wonders. We plan guided tours in Switzerland, the Alps and selected destinations, by motorcycle, Vespa or scooter. At least one of us rides on every tour.
How it all began.
We met at a campsite. Paulina had planned a quiet weekend’s camping. Dominik was out on his motorcycle with a friend and happened to pull into the same site. A shared love of being on the road turned first into a relationship, then into a shared idea: Motos & Wonders.
Dominik wanted to become a tour guide. Paulina loves sharing what she knows. We trained together at the Motorrad-Weiterbildungszentrum (MWZ), and when we presented our idea there, the instructors were delighted.
Two passions lie behind it: motorcycles for Dominik, history for Paulina. And we both love good food. That’s why our tours mix curves, culture and cuisine, differently every time. We keep seeing the idea work: on the Vespa tour in the Emmental, even locals learn something new about their own area.
Dominik plans the curves.
Dominik has a feel for roads. He plans varied routes with «flow», views in the right places and days that are neither stressful nor dull. He shapes each day so you can concentrate entirely on the riding.
On the road he rides at the front, with the whole group in his mirrors.
«For me, safety means everyone arrives safe and well at the end of the day.»

Paulina shows you the region.
Paulina researches every region from the big picture down to the detail: geology, history, culture, music and food. By the first coffee break she knows the group and decides what to tell. At the same stop, one guest hears about the rock formation and another about the musician who once passed through. If you want to know more, you get more.
Her stops pack a lot in at once: a break, a drink, a photo, the loo and a new story. Having come back to riding herself, she knows how tiresome lots of stops in full gear can be. She chooses restaurants where the story behind them is as good as the food.
Her aim: afterwards, guests know a region by more than its name, and the Emmental by more than its cheese.
«Sometimes one stop gives guests more than three more bends.»

Certified tour guides.
We’re both certified by the Motorrad-Weiterbildungszentrum (MWZ) and the Swiss Automobile and Motorcycle Association (SAM). Max. 5 riders per guide, and nobody has to keep up.
Before the tour
We don’t do off-the-shelf packages. Everything is made by hand. Most of it we ride and test beforehand. The rest we research thoroughly or leave to partners we know.
On the road
Before we set off there’s a safety briefing. On the road, what matters to us is that every guest feels at ease and has a great time.
In the evening
Dinner feels more like being among friends. And on the evening after the tour, everyone messages on WhatsApp to say they’re home safely.
Small group. Big journey.
