5.00If you enjoy Monet, art, gardens and nature, plan to spend the day. Two hours is not enough to take in the atmosphere. Our guide Phillipe was excellent: knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful.

5.00Well organized tour, punctual and courteous staff, overall a very positive experience, highly recommend. We hit traffic going to Giverny so the company extended the tour time by 45 mins and added a short tour of the village. The guide, Leonor was great and we learnt a lot about Monet, Giverny, and impressionists in general.
Beautiful

4.00The gardens were lovely and seemed to be in full bloom except for the water Lillies. The trip to the garden was without incident. Leaving the exits were poorly marked and the bus was parked as far away as possible. Not good for a bus filled with mainly senior citizens!
