- Giverny - We work with the Claude Monet Foundation and have the right to use the special group entrance where you’ll get inside the garden right away.
- The Clos Normand - Fondation Claude Monet - There are two distinct gardens on Claude Monet’s property. The lovely Clos Normand has hundreds of types of flowers in bloom throughout the spring, summer, and fall. You’ll for sure recognize the bold purple Iris’ lined pathways and the spicy, orange and yellow Capucines that climb on the arches just in front of his pink house with green shutters.
- Fondation Claude Monet - Waterlillies!!! The Japanese garden on Claude Monet’s estate is the most famous as it has a green bridge and a waterlily-filled pond. Your guide will lead you directly to it and help you get the best souvenir photos! You’ll see the precise spots where Monet painted from and compare the paintings with what you see in real life.
- Fondation Claude Monet - Monet’s Colorful Home: Claude Monet lived here for more than 40 years and raised 8 children. Inside you will see his artist workshop as well as the personal decor and colorful paint that he put in every room. Groups are not allowed into the home as space is very limited inside. So, you will be given free time to explore inside on your own.
- Eglise Sainte-Radegonde de Giverny - Graveside visit: Visit the final resting place of Claude Monet and pay your respects to the great man himself. His tomb is hidden away in a little countryside church’s graveyard. Your guide will take you to it and share many of Monet’s life stories that went beyond his art but still affected it.

Great experience! - My wife and I had a wonderful time. The experience is just as advertised and we recommend going first thing in the morning to avoid the crowds that come later in the day. Try to arrive to your meeting spot a little early (20-30 minutes) so that you can enjoy a coffee. For those wanting to plan another event in the afternoon on the same day, you will return to Paris in enough time to do so.

Lovely trip to Giverny - We started with a hiccup on the morning following the Paris soccer team win at the European Championship with our meetup. Streets were locked down, but we were able to get to the meeting point with Junior. He completely understood our stress and worked hard to make sure the rest of the day was excellent. He’s a charming person, great driver and made sure we were comfortable. He said he was new to the job, but he was very well prepared and informative. It was a lovely experience overall!!

Great trip! - Lovely trip out of Paris to see the charming village of Giverny and Monet's outstanding gardens and pretty house. Clem was a great guide and filled us in on the Monet history as we traveled. He answered all the rest of our questions too. It was overcast and a bit rainy the day we went but the unexpected bonus was fewer crowds and more time to enjoy the gardens and house. Highly recommend!

A half day at Monet's House - Johnny was great! He really loves his job and his knowledge was incredible. The house and gardens were exquisite. It was about a 50 minute drive there and 50 minutes back. We had about 1.5 hours to look at everything which was plenty of time.

Interesting? - Was so excited for this tour! Took our 20-30 yr olds with us. Our tour guide met us in flannel pajamas, spent most his time giving us Monets history while in the cemetery! Enjoyed the walk around Monets gardens and tour of the home.
