Wonderful experience - Well organized tour, punctual and courteous staff, overall a very positive experience, highly recommend. We hit traffic going to Giverny so the company extended the tour time by 45 mins and added a short tour of the village. The guide, Leonor was great and we learnt a lot about Monet, Giverny, and impressionists in general.

Beautiful - Arrive on time or early, you can use the cafe bathroom before the trip. Monet house took us 30 minutes in line to get in, so don’t wait until the end

Beautiful Gardens, difficult departure. - The gardens were lovely and seemed to be in full bloom except for the water Lillies. The trip to the garden was without incident. Leaving the exits were poorly marked and the bus was parked as far away as possible. Not good for a bus filled with mainly senior citizens!

Good tour if you want to see Monet’s house and garden without a guide - For us this was the right tour. We did not want a guide, just a ride to Monet’s house and garden. The audio guide is on a phone app. It was very crowded but we saw the house and gardens in a little less than 2 hours.

Disaster - My cell phone was broken so we couldn't access the self guided tour. We have difficulty walking. The guide said it was a ten minute walk from the parking to the house. It took us 20 minutes. We lost the group and were unable to find the entrance until another visitor helped us. We were short of time so concentrated on the garden. It entailed more walking and going up and down stairs. We were exhausted. On the way back to Paris the bus broke down.

This turned out to be... - This turned out to be basically a bus ride. We did not purchase the additional audio guide. Although we downloaded the audio guide included with the trip we didn't use it and just wandered through the house and gardens. No fault of the tour operator but it was extremely busy when we got there. The bus was quite outdated - the bathrooms were out of service and my husband's seat wouldn't stay locked in one position for the seat back and kept moving back and forth as the bus moved. The gardens were beautiful and worth the trip. As others have noted, there is no water provided on the journey. People did stop at the cafe at the meeting point to get coffee and a snack for the journey. We grabbed a sandwich and water at a take-away in Giverny for the trip back.

Useless audio guide and gardens overcrowded. - The audio guide is almost useless, but for some facts on Monet. The gardens are overcrowded with too many individual tourists and tour groups, and the group guides push in front of individuals. It’s horrible.

Very expensive and no guide - This trip was advertised as having an audio guide supplied. When we got there it was just a 'use your own phone' guide, and we did not have data on our phones, so no info. Bad traffic made us arrive late, and then we had less than 2 hours at house and gardens, too short a time to have a good look, take photos and listen to audio guide anyway. We took photo of QR code to listen to commentary later, but we couldn't connect. Choosing English only gave us French connection info, tried to use confirmation number and reference number to connect, neither worked. We paid a lot of money for a bus trip to Monet's house, but no info at all.

They don’t keep the pick up time. They arrived an hour late. - They left is behind and refused to accept that they did not turn up at the agreed time! There were 10 of us waiting, so it wasn’t us. BUT they were so rude and do not accept ANY responsibility! DO NOT USE THEM!! They are a fraud!!
