Must see! - Such a fun trip! 10/10 recommend. It was nice to have everything planned for you. I learned so much from the guides that were very knowledgeable. Giverny was bliss don’t skip! It’s a long day but very worth it. Check the weather before you go to dress accordingly

A spring delight! - If you are going to Paris in the spring, absolutely take a day trip to Giverney. It's nice to get outside of the city, see the beautiful green hills of Normandy, and take in Monet's stunning garden -- his life's work. If you love gardens and flowers, it will take your breath away. Go early for gentler sun and shorter lines.

Great experience! - Very friendly staff, from the receptive at the meeting point to the arrival back to Paris. The guides, in Versailles and on the trip to Giverny, were very careful and patient, transmitting plenty of content during the tours, especially, I highlight Hendrix, on the trip to Giverny, telling the whole story of Monet, in an informative and fun way. Thank you and success to the team! Ps. We were concerned about the time to know both destinations, but for us it was enough. It is possible to explore much more, especially the gardens, this will depend on the purpose of your trip.

Great tour of Giverny - Great tour. The gardens were fabulous. The tour guide, Hendricks, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. His presentation technique got all of the tourists involved. He spoke English very well. The one downside was that he walked very quickly and a lot of the slower walking tourists were left quite a distance behind. When I pointed this out to him, he merely said that he’d stop in a little while and let the stragglers catch up. If I was one of them, I wouldn’t have been happy. Nevertheless, it was a great tour and Hendricks did a great job.

Oyima opportunity to meet Monet and his work - No couriers, with tempp to contemplate the garden and Monet's house. Comfortable bus. Wonderful explanations from the guide Hendrics, a profound knowledge of the life and work of the painter. Besides being friendly and attentive.

Crowded cattle call - Mediocre at best. You are on a double decker bus and it feels like a cattle call. Giverny is so crowded that you feel like you’re waiting in one long line through the gardens instead of peacefully strolling in a calm serene setting. The two tour guides gave contradicting directions and didn’t make it clear where to go to get back to the bus which is a different route than the one into the space.
