We all loved the tours and thought our guide did a good job. Our only complaint was that since we were a group of 9, we could not always hear him unless we were standing right next to him. It would have been useful to have had earbuds or some sort of listening device that he spoke into so that we could hear him better wherever we were standing.

This is a Paris "must do"—-I had done a tour of Giverny in 2023 and returned to this one which included a tour of Van Gogh's final home in Auvers-sur Soise. The trip was led by Valeria who is beyond delightful, knowledgeable about Monet, Van Gogh and art history in general. It was a truly enjoyable day and an immersive experience with a fabulous and fun guide. Thank you Valeria!

This was our favorite day during our trip to France. Our tour guide Ang was a fountain of knowledge. We loved Monet’s garden and walking in VanGogh’s last footsteps! Having a skilled driver get us out and back into Paris was critical! Highly recommend!!!

The garden is magnificent and Van Gogh tour was great. I appreciated the back ground given while driving there., but once we got to the garden the guide spent very little time with with us. We were listening to another group that had a guide. Also, we were unable to have lunch at Van Goh’s restaurant I guess a misunderstanding with our reservations. They did offer to have lunch at outside table , but that defeats the whole experience . 🤷🏽♀️

Jean Paul was very knowledgeable and easy to speak with. He took us to the Monet water garden first before it was too crowded. We then wandered the garden and home. Afterwards he drove us to Auvers and we visited the inn where Van Gogh died. I thought it would be morbid but it was respectful. He showed us the scenes that Van Gogh painted and eventually Van Gogh’s grave. While we ate lunch he moved the van to the cemetery as walking a long time is hard for me. He was a very good and thoughtful guide. Highly recommend. I was a wonderful day. Many tours do not include Auvers as a Van Gogh fan I loved this day. I will always remember it.

Gil was very friendly and knowledgable. We especially appreciate arriving earlier at the Gardens and Mansion before things got too crowded. Overall a great experience, especially combined with later visits to the Musee D'Orsay and Monet Museum Marmatton in Paris. One note is that the tour decription on Viator mentioned admission to the Maison du Docteur Gachetamd and the Musee des impressionnismes, which we did not visit. We were not sure if this was an oversight or an incorrect description on your web site.

Great trip with a knowledgeable guide. Giverny was beautiful. Monet created the perfect garden to inspire his art. We were picked up from our hotel which was far superior to having to traipse across town to a meeting point. The fee was reasonable. The Van Gough portion was also moving and we ate at the cafe where he ate and lived upstairs.
