5.00Really lovely experience .. both were different… and the bus time was comfortable, not too long. I would definitely recommend this trip… it was nice to have both excursions combined.
Amazing day!

4.00The day overall was good, but Amit (guide for Giverny) was a bit underwhelming in the delivery of the information, and gave no insights once we were in Monet's house and gardens, just a monologue on the bus. Maxim (guide for Versailles) was absolutely sensational and gave us an excellent commentary as we moved through, and I learned a lot. More time in the Gardens would have been nice, we couldn't have possibly seen all of it, but in all, a fantastic day, and highly recommended

5.00Monets garden and house did not disappoint even on a cold drizzly day. The coach and tour guide were amazing too. Versailles palace was well worth the visit even though the gardens were closed due to the weather. A great experience overall!

5.00Monet’s gardens are spectacular! There is a lot of walking at Versailles, but there are wheelchairs available and if you feel like you need one, don’t hesitate to ask. The gardens are huge. One good option is renting the golf carts.
