Join us on another TurnKey exclusive group tour!

In recognition of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings this June, as well as the Paris Summer Olympics, France just seemed like a natural choice for 2024.....and who doesn't love to visit Paris in the Fall

As always, I personally curate & host these 10-day tours and they include A LOT so the pricing is very reasonable, especially for Europe. We always have lots of fun & there is a mix of people from grandfathers w/ grandsons, solo ladies, couples & newcomers! Here is my testimonial page with some of the comments from last year's tour of Portugal.

You can book the full package with air included or just the land tour so you can add a pre or post stay if you're interested in seeing other parts of Europe. You can decide about this later since the $500/pp deposit is only needed at this time to secure your spot. And if you're looking to have your own room, then a single supplement is available.
