Review of the Versailles and Giverny day tour from Paris, including Monet’s garden, a three-course lunch, palace highlights, costs, crowds, and tips.
“We have a great tour, albeit a long day. There was an accident on the highway that caused a delay in the morning, but we rushed through the Monet tour to make it up. I will say it’s a lot to see in one day and it would be great to do Versailles by itself one day. Steve was a great tour guide. He was informed and funny. We did move quickly so it’s not for anyone who has a difficult time walking or who might be a slow walker. Overall it’s a good tour!”

Review of the half-day Giverny tour from Paris, with Monet’s house, water-lily pond, coach transport, guide options, tips, and crowd advice.
“Date and time of half day tour was August 13 at 2:30 pm. The guide did not share any information about history of Monet's house. She advised that if we didn't make it back to the bus on time, plan two was that we can take a train back on our own. Now, what tour operator does that? In my opinion they are responsible for keeping track of ALL tourists and making sure tourists they return to the bus, and not depart until all tourists are accounted for. On the return ride, she said she hoped we enjoyed our visit. As well, she suggested not to eat at restaurants near…”

“I was a solo traveler and the trip was awesome! The guide was awesome. He drove us in minivan to Versailles and took care of entry and everything and gave us a private tour of the palace and then drove us to Giverny’s B&B where our lunch had been arranged and cost included in the booking. We had peaceful lunch at scenic B&B with some open seating at a garden with live music and some good French wine and food!

“The tour had a good mixture of explanation and giving us space to admire the garden and experiencing its beauty. Mwamini, our guide, gave a useful biographical recount of Monet, to understand when in his life he created the garden and also the different people important to him. Then she walked with us, ensuring no one would get lost, while giving us space. We where thrilled and awed by the garden, especially since it was in full bloom.”

“Very well organized, there was time to enjoy every visit without rushing. The lunch was delicious, well paced and very lively. The bus was very comfortable and not crowded. Our guide, Manuela, explained everything clearly and made sure everyone had all the necessary information. She managed to create a very relaxing and friendly atmosphere, while also keeping an eye on the schedule. Maybe an extra half an hour would have been nice, as the gardens at Versailles are very large, but in any case, it was a great day, full of beautiful art, nature and good food. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour, it was an amazing experience!”
