It’s worth the trip to see Monet’s inspiration - We traveled in June. It is very crowded in June. Perhaps other times of the year are better as far as being less crowded and able to enjoy the attraction. The tour we booked only provided about 90 minutes to explore the gardens, house and gift shop. It felt quite hurried. The time we spent in the gardens was amazing, so many flowers in bloom, such a beautiful variety. As for the house, Monet was such a prolific painter and there is quite a bit of his work on display. Of course, these are all reproductions as the originals are primarily in private collections or museums. The departure was punctual and the coach was a double decker, comfortable and plenty of room. The return trip found the coach extremely hot when we boarded at Giverny and took almost the entire two hours back to Paris to cool down. That was a bit disappointing. The guide kept us well informed prior to arrival in Giverny and offered good advice as to navigating the attraction. It was just very crowded and we spent almost the entire 90 minutes in a queue to see various aspects of the property. Might recommend staying in Giverny in order to spend more time on the property. Those early entires and being last to leave may offer more quality time on site.

Beautiful Gardens - The self guided tour was awesome. The gardens are beautiful and it was so fun to go into Monet's house and see more wonderful paintings. I was a little upset though that for a two hour bus ride, we could not use the bathroom. I am glad we had time to walk around the cute village as well.

Monet Gardens - The gardens were absolutely stunning! Charming house tour. Enjoyed the art, antiques and history. Meeting spot for bus was easy but bus was crowded. Be ready for big crowds. Popular destination with big tour groups. Would still recommend.

Giverney shame. - My wife and I were in Giverney 3 years ago, and were pretty much the only people there... truly glorious. This time there were just too many people. We were with 4 people who had never been before, and the crowds meant that they couldn't experience the house. I understand why Europe is experiencing tourist fatigue. Can't tour companies limit the number of tourists?

Not even time and delayed departure - There is not enough time to see the house and all the gardens with late departure. We departed about 20 minutes late which left even less time on an already cramped schedule. It also meant that other tour groups arrived ahead of us. Plus, the bus is several blocks away from the departure location listed which further delayed our trip. Overall the gardens made it worth it but we are planning on using alternate transportation in the future.

Just a ride & ticket - The Host had an hour to tell us anything about Paris, Monet, Giverny & she didn't say a word there or back. I got done 45 mins before meet time, sat on bench, went back in, wasted mins. Had no idea the town was to the left 10 steps. After I asked if we were going to town & she said no. Why didn't she tell us it was right there! Good for transportation & they bought the 11€ tix.
