Marie - I create your Garden Tour in Europe

I grew up in gardens.  Every weekend my parents gardened, talking about plants by name, rather like people talk about beloved relatives.

I caught the travel bug early.  After college in the US, I wanted to become a travel agent.  Economics pushed me into finance where I became an international private banker, holding positions in New York, Switzerland and Germany.

Eventually I quit to raise a family and settled in the country, in Belgium, not far from the borders to Germany and the Netherlands. We drew a garden.  We planted trees, hedges, perennials and vegetables.  Our children grew.  So did the trees. 

One day an American friend called.  Could I help?  She was planning a garden trip to Belgium with a few friends.  With only five days, she wanted to make sure they spent their time enjoying the gardens and not worrying about the logistics.   I jumped in and made some calls.

Afterwards she said “You should start a business!”.  And so ToursbyMarie was born. Since 2010 I create tailor made itineraries for your special garden tour in Europe.  I specialize in intimate groups, such as  garden clubs and small groups of friends. 

Holland, England, Italy and France are some of my destinations.  Check out my Tours here.
