Like nature? Love Impressionism? Read on! Let us whisk you away on a half-day trip to the village of Giverny where Monet and other Impressionists set up home in the 19th Century. After a short one-and-a-half-hour ride from Paris, you’ll find yourself in this quaint little village in Normandy, where you’ll visit Monet’s exquisite house and gardens. Your art historian guide or audioguide will animate your tour around the flowerbeds that proved a source of inspiration for Monet, past the water lily pond made famous in the Nymphéas series and across the Japanese bridge that pops up so often in his work. Then you’ll explore Monet’s house, almost untouched by the passage of time.

Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Excellent souvenir shop with a wide range of reproductions of Monet's paintings, crockery, table sets (dominant in Monet's favourite blue and yellow colours) and even a range of flower seeds.
The collection of Japanese engravings inside Monet's home is one of the most important in the world.
During the high season, this popular destination can experience significant crowds. As a result, there may be some unavoidable queues, especially during the morning hours when visitor numbers tend to be highest.

4.00A great way to see Monet’s Garden, booking was easy, location to meet easy to find, and a comfortable bus ride. We did the audio tour, which enabled us to meander through the gardens at our own leisure. The Gardens were magnificent, well worth the trip!!
Great trip!

4.00When booked the meeting point and drop off point were listed as the same. I prepped my return plans accordingly and they dropped us off in another location. The time at Monet felt too short and rushed.
Too crowded, little...

3.00Too crowded, little information about the garden, felt rushed the whole time. Not very satisfying. Been there before and still felt lacking.
Beware of Viator

1.00Our experience with Viator was less than ideal. During a major protest taking place in Paris with 800,000 protesters in the street, metros closed, major roads blocked - Viator was non communicative and unresponsive to our concerns: We used their “chat” feature to voice our concerns and questioned the refund policy prior to booking - they assured us they would keep us informed as the day of planned protests approached. They did not up date us after the announcement of the closure/blockade of the major roads leading out of Paris. We learned this from the news and our local hotel. We reached out immediately and we received no response. We assumed the seriousness of the protests had impacted the tour and requested a refund. Only then did we receive a response - to inform us there wld be no refund.
