Discover the home of Claude Monet, his workshop, and the impressive garden surrounding his home outside of Paris. Your audio-guided tour will depart from Paris, with a travel time of about 1.5 hours on an air-conditioned bus.

Giverny, a quaint village in Normandy, attracted many Impressionist painters in the 19th century; they followed the lead of the movement’s founder, Claude Monet

On arrival, you will have 2 hours to tour the home and grounds, visit in complete freedom with your audioguide the Master’s house where the spectacular colors and enchanting garden were designed like a work of art. Walk through history as you see how Monet lived and was inspired by his surroundings.

You will be dazzled by the flowerbeds and plants, and you will sense the artist’s emotions in front of the famous water lilies and weeping willows in the water garden.

Punctual and attentive staff. Comfortable bus and good time dimensioning. But the link to the audio guide offered did not work. I used a free one for my phone.
Disappointed with the tour guide

Not enough time to see the gardens and Monets garden. Waste of money regarding the audio guided tour as we were not given headsets but a QR code download which didn’t work due to wifi problems. Tour guide Crystal wasn’t interested in helping us and basically said - you can complain to the operator and ignored us from then on. Disappointing
Well worth it

Five hours is too short with 3 hrs on bus and long slow lines we just barely had time to get thru everything and grab a sandwich to go for the trip back. If l were to do it again I would make sure of at least 6 hours. Or take the train to Vernon and then you’re in control of your time. The gardens were lovely and worth the trip but they deserve more time.
Giverney - wonderful in Spring.

Magnificent to see such a famous garden in its Spring splendour. The colours and scents were amazing. The tour was a perfect length allowing time to wander.
Beautiful gardens on a nice day

The gardens are spectacular and worth seeing. The bus ride was comfortable. It wasn’t clear that the “audio guide” would be a website accessed by our own phone. Also, we would have liked more time to soak it all in instead of rushing back to meet the bus so next time we’d probably go on our own.
Wonderful Day out of the City

If 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.

The tour was fantastic! Our guide, Dominique, was incredibly helpful and friendly. She made sure the group was well-informed at every step. Having her as a guide truly enhanced my experience, she was a warm, welcoming presence throughout the trip. Thank you again!

They left is behind and refused to accept that they did not turn up at the agreed time! There were 10 of us waiting, so it wasn’t us. BUT they were so rude and do not accept ANY responsibility! DO NOT USE THEM!! They are a fraud!!
