A wonderful way to experience these two beautiful interesting place and enjoylunch in the country side. - Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. We were a small group and the trip was very layed out so that we were not lost in a crowd. The lunch, the staff, and the atmosphere of the location gave us a beautiful relaxing french experience. Would highly recommend it.

A long, busy day . - I thought that there would be more of a tour through the garden at Versailles, rather than bring left to view the gardens on my own. In retrospect, I think it's hard to combine the tours into 1 day trip. I'm glad it was offered; it's a tour I was excited to do, but I think it's too much to do together. I am a gardener, more than a Monet lover and that activity was disappointing and ridiculously crowded , and that had nothing to do with any fault of my tour company. If Monet's garden and Versailles are places you want to visit, and time is limited; this tour is the only way to do that . I was VERY lucky that there was a very small group for the tour.

This is an excellent way... - This is an excellent way to see two major sites in one day trip from Paris. Do note be afraid of the early departure time! It is worth it! We arrived at Giverny before they opened, so did not have to wait in a line and had plenty of time to explore the house and gardens. Our guide was very knowledgable, and kept us on schedule. Lunch was at a charming inn with delicious entree and dessert. (I would recommend that the restaurant not serve a fish pate as an appetizer as most people in our small group did not like it.) Similarly to our experience at Monet's house and garden, this trip allowed us to skip the lines at Versailles and get an impressive tour of the palace with time to explore the beautiful grounds independently. My adult daughter and I were glad we chose to visit these sites with a small group (only three other people!) and a driver/guide. It was also great to have a little more of a "car day" after a previous day of tons of walking in Paris. Highly recommend!

Great sites, Efficient use of time - It is a full day, so be on time if you want the most of it. Our small group arrived at the meeting place early, so Michelle our guide started early which allowed us to beat some of the crowds at Giverny. After a nice lunch we were off to Versailles where there is no way to avoid the crowds but because we were a small group, Michelle was able to move us quickly through tight areas with helpful advance hints to where to look as we entered each room. Adequate free time was given due to Michelle’s experience and expertise. There were seven of us and transportation was a van. Worth every cent and Michelle was an excellent storyteller and super efficient guide!
