All Edelweiss team members share their enthusiasm for motorcycling/E-Biking and travelling, their love for details and the common riding and working experience.

Marko was born in Hannover, northern Germany, in 1964, but being a motorcycling and skiing aficionado he had to move closer to the mountains very soon. South-western Bavaria has been the home of his choice for more than 30 years now. Marko joined Edelweiss in 2003 as a dedicated Harley-Davidson tour guide, but his interests diversified considerably since then. Life as a tour guide is never boring for him since it combines motorcycling, traveling and dealing with very interesting people.
Tours I will be leading: Tour of Tuscany, Royal Edelweiss Dream, High Alpine Tour, Morocco Tour, Rome to Sicily and Alps Extreme
Reason why people enjoy being on tour with me: Try it out and you'll see! But be careful - you might get addicted!
Favorite destination: Tuscany, because of the chaotic, open-hearted, passionate Italians mixed with twisty, windy roads, awesome food and even better wine!
What I like: Gummy bears, get-up-and-go people, the unexpected and good friends
What I dislike: Pedants, holes in socks, wet motorcycle boots, iced windshields and bad food
Hobbies: Cooking and eating with friends, a good glass of wine, languages and all kind of sports
My favorite bike: What a question! The R 1200 GS of course. If you know anything better, please let me know!
Quite a few female tour guides are working for Edelweiss these days, but when Ursula started guiding groups back in 2004 she was the only one. She doesn’t want us to know how old she is, which is ok since she happily gives away plenty of other information: born, raised and still living in south-western Bavaria, in a lovely region known as the Allgäu, pronounced Ull-goy. For Ursula this is the most beautiful spot our planet has to offer, but she still loves to go out and see other places, most notably Italy. She loves to ride big bikes but secretly adores the Vespa 300. She’s a lot of fun to be on tour with, so make sure you give it a try. And if you ask her how she and Edelweiss got together all she’ll tell you is: it was just inevitable ...
Tours I will be leading: All the tours I can get.
Reason why people enjoy being on tour with me: Because I drive so slowly, there's no chance you can't keep up with me.
Favorite destination: Every place I have never been to before.
What I like: Menhirs, watching wild animals
What I dislike: Forsythias, desk jobs
Hobbies: Riding my racing bicycle, reading, doing handwork
My favorite bike: my SRX 600

Tours I will be leading: Morocco, Alps, Pyrenees, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Italy
Reason why people enjoy being on tour with me: I simply love people!

What I like: The mountains, the sea, people, skiing, traveling, meeting family and friends
What I dislike: Greed, dishonesty, people who are no team players
Hobbies: Skiing, hiking and motorcycling
My favorite bike: Energica Experia
Michael was born and raised in Munich. His Tyrolian roots however, which he got from his Mum and Dad, lead him to Tyrol 6 years ago. Since then, he has been commuting between the Bavarian capital city and St. Ulrich am Pillersee. At the presentation of the new Energica Experia (e-motorcycle) in the Dolomites Michael got into a conversation with an Edelweiss tourguide. Michael got so excited by all the stories that he immediately applied as a tour guide at Edelweiss. What could be more beautiful than turning your hobby into your calling?
Tours I will be leading: Balkan off-road, High-Alpine tour, tour of the
Pyrenees and an e-bike tour in Southern Italy
Reason why people enjoy being on tour with me: Hm… if not because of my charming personality, then it must be the secret food spots… :) Or the Fun-facts that I like to add to the days. I will ask.
Favorite destination: Italy, South-Africa, Croatia, Alps
What I like: Stand-Up Comedies, good food, good people,great stories, unique ideas and a great sense of humour. Among others…
What I dislike: All the opposite of the above. Although I believe comedy can be funny while it is done sitting down, too… I’d take that risk.
Hobbies: Street-food cooking, baking, hiking, handmade analogue photographs, volunteer
“firefightering”, swimming, cycling, archery, horse-riding
My favorite bike: Triumph Bonneville 865cc, Moto Guzzi V7, Classic, BMW r1200 GSA AC, Yamaha XT600 Tenere
