The Best day tour. - Fantastic tour, well designed. I booked the VIP option to be picked up from the hotel, on the booking program it didnt let me put in my hotel. But paid anyway and contacted the tour operator, not a problem he picked me up from the hotel. Really great tour would highly recommend it to anyone. .

Unforgettable Claude Monet Tour – A Perfect Day! - My daughter and I had an incredible experience on this VIP tour from Paris to Etretat, Rouen, and Giverny. We were promptly picked up at our hotel in a spotless, comfortable car. Our guide, Liviu, greeted us, provided bottled water, and clearly outlined the day's itinerary.
Throughout the tour, Liviu’s passion for excellent service and deep appreciation for the history of Claude Monet were evident. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire day seamless and enriching.
The communication before the tour was excellent—Liviu was responsive to questions and proactive with helpful updates. Every location we visited was stunning, and we truly felt like we were getting a special glimpse into Monet’s world.
As a bonus, the driving was smooth and careful—important for us since both my daughter and I tend to get motion sick. We never felt uneasy for a moment.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable, comfortable, and beautifully curated experience.

Monet Monet Monet - A Full Day of His Famous Sites - This was a great introduction to Claude Monet and several of the sites of his most famous work. We arranged for a hotel pick-up, which made the trip easy. The van could, in theory, hold 7, but that would have been tight. We had 4. We arrived at Giverny when it opened, and beat the crowds, many of whom came from cruises. The Monet home is a museum into itself, and the gardens were beyond spectacular. The brief highlights tour of Rouen centered on the Cathedral, which Monet painted several times under various light conditions from what was then a hotel overlooking the cathedral face. We also saw and learned about Joan of Arc and her importance to Rouen and France. Finally, we had not anticipated the charm and beauty of Etretat, a coastal town surrounded by cliffs, which Monet again painted several times under various light conditions. Adding this third site made the trip unique...and also made for a long day for ourselves and our driver guide. It may take some stamina, but you'll find it rewarding. It brings life and depth to the Monet artwork at the Musee d'Orsay and the Orangerie (water lilies) at the Orangerie in Paris.
