The company I trust with my tours two years in a row - We had an incredible day traveling to Normandy, especially to the stunning Mont St. Michel! Our experience with Tour Up in Europe was exceptional. Nataly, our guide, was absolutely spectacular. She was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, educated, and professional. We highly recommend her to everyone! Nataly made us feel very comfortable and turned our trip into a magical experience. She is fluent in multiple languages and will tell you everything you need to know about France. We also visited the D-Day beaches, which were profoundly significant for us. The historical depth and the stories shared made this part of the trip especially moving. Additionally, our driver, Abdulah, provided a smooth and luxurious ride. His driving skills were impeccable, enhancing the overall experience. Our day was truly special, creating memories that will last a lifetime. If you ever need a guide, please look up Nataly. You won’t be disappointed. Whether your interests lie in history, food, wine, culture, or anything else, Tour Up in Europe will take care of it. P.S.
