I’m visiting from India and this tour was exactly what I hoped for. The Christmas atmosphere was beautiful and the team really knew how to make the experience memorable. Tour Up In Europe did a great job.
Thank you! But why 4 stars only then?
The tour was upto the mark. I am from India and I had the best experince with Tour Up In Europe. Thank you for making our day memorable. Loveddd itt. I recommend this to all my friends and family
It was like Disney movie in real life.. Do not waist your time to go to the crowded attraction parc - better come here where the real balls and historical events took place. The candles and the show in the end were magnificent!
We are now very loyal to this company since we know that their organisation is always at the best level. We did catacombs with them and tulip Village in the Netherlands. This was not our first trip in Paris so we wanted to go to the chateau which is not typical Versailles experience. We already visited that one. The company offered us the Loire Valley but it seemed a little bit too far - maybe next time haha. This one (sorry it’s hard to pronounce the name agree with me :)) was magnificent. Our guide Helen told us so many stories about it! Did you know it was the one that later inspired the famous Versailles? The gardens are even more beautiful than the immens but heartless sun king’s ones. And we enjoyed the fireworks in the end of our visit. The private transfer is definitely needed for this trip because there is not train or bus. So this is your sign to take this private tour.
My girlfriend and I wanted to explore Vaux-le-Vicomte with the help of a team of professionals and we really succeeded, we especially liked the availability of a comfortable auto
