- 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.

Good trip to Giverny - This was a great way to see Giverny if you don’t have lots of time. The small group size is great and traveling in a van is very comfortable. Our guide was great. He was informative and let us roam a bit in our own which I really liked. It did seem like our time was cut a little short as we got back almost an hour early.

Giverny in autumn - A great day out with Frankie, who went the extra mile to explain about all the artists at Giverny, not just Monet. Really enjoyed the tour. Gardens amazing despite being late in the season

Enjoyable to walk through... - Enjoyable to walk through the village; near Monet's grave is a beautiful village memorial to a British flight crew who lost their lives when their plane crashed. Monet's house is incredible and the gardens, he designed, are amazing to see and compare to his paintings in Paris museums! (Paintings in his house also!!)

Great time - Cezare was incredible! He is very knowledgeable about the subject and he is also very entertaining! When the tour ended, it was raining. He was kind enough to drive a few people from the group to the restaurant he recommended for dinner and also asked the host to take us without the reservation. Dinner was a total success! Thank you Cezare!

Gas stop on way.back to Paris - The driver stopped on the way back to Paris to purchase gasoline. He should have started with a full tank. Also the tour was supposed to stay at 2:30 and it started at 2:00. If we had not met at the café earlier, we would have missed the tour. There was no communication from the company regarding the time change
