5.00Laura and Anish were awesome tour guides and we had a great time seeing this beautiful village. Best part was skipping the gigantic line but the views were amazing and learning about Monet and seeing what inspired him was wonderful.

5.00First, our guides were simply the best : Ana and Bhavya. The experience was excelent because during the bus trip they spoke about Paris , the outskirts and the life and career of Monet. Once we got to Monet's house, you are on your own with the audio guide, which is perfect because it is a crowded place and you don't want to follow a guide, once inside. The gardens are absolutely beautiful and the fast track ticket is very much needed, so you don't stand on a 3 hours queue .
If touring Paris you...
