Monet’s World

5.00It’s busy, but beautiful. It’s peaceful and immersive. If you love Monet, and art, and Impressionists, this is for you.
Visit to Giverny with Doru was excellent!!

5.00Our guide, Doru, made our day just perfect. For one, I always worry about getting car sick on these day tours in a car. He is the best driver I’ve ever experienced - even through all the Paris traffic. He knew a lot of history to share with us along the way and it was very comfortable being with him for the day. He took great care of us! I would highly recommend! Worth the extra money to avoid being in a group that navigates slower.

5.00Doru was absolutely wonderful! We ended up being the only ones, and we so enjoyed the entire day. His knowledge is unmatched, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the gardens, home, and grab some lunch. Loved Giverny. 🩵
Breathtaking Gardens & Very Knowledgeable Guide

5.00Our guide, Duro, arrived early, had clearly done his research, shared many fun facts, and could not have been more accommodating. The extensive, breathtaking gardens were in full, glorious bloom with waterlilies popping up under the classic Monet bridge. Monet’s home was filled with his artwork and brightly decorated furniture and rooms. A true joy to check this off the bucket list.
Doru highly recommended

5.00Doru was a fantastic guide he was extremely knowledgeable about the history not only of the Giverny and Monet, but the history of Pairs. Also a really lovely person and very interesting to talk to. Doru helped us with activities for the rest of our stay, which was very generous. I would highly recommend this company one of the best we have had on this trip.
May Day Monet House & Garden Visit

5.00Our driver and guide, Doru, texted us the day prior to the tour date to confirm our pickup place and time. He arrived a few minutes early so we were on our way quickly, to Giverny about 1.5 hours from Paris. Doru was a superb and friendly guide who is extremely knowledgeable and insightful in many topics including both French and world history, and of course the world of the Impresssionists. Doru was also accompanied by Stella, a photographer, and between our conversations with both, we were immersed in glimpses of life in France. The Monet House & Garden visit at Giverny was a wonderful experience, especially at the garden walk in full bloom. With the house tour, you could imagine Monet and his family living a simpler life and enjoying the tranquility of the countryside. There were a number of restaurants along Rue Claude Monet to have a leisurely lunch. While it was a bit busy since our tour day was May 1, a national holiday, our overall experience was highly informative and memorable!

5.00Definitely worth the drive. The gardens were beautiful. His home had lots of paintings to view. One of my favorites is the girl with the umbrella. He had 2! Unfinished ones in his home studio
Recommend, great for older travelers too!

5.00Our driver Doru was fantastic! He was really knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on the drive - he was so knowledgeable on history and buildings it was like a driving tour of Paris! He also showed us all around the town of Giverney and gave recommendations on where to eat lunch. We got skip the line tickets, I do recommend going in the morning as the actual gardens got significantly more crowded as the day went on. He picked us up when we were ready, no rush. I (46) was traveling with my 80 year old parents. I highly recommend this experience! It was perfect for them. He was also a safe driver and the car was comfortable and he was early picking us up in the morning.
An Enjoyable trip to a beautiful Giverny Village.

5.00It is a very pleasant journey as it’s only 3 of us for this trip. Mr Doru our tour guide and also a driver is very knowledgable, humorous and friendly. He is patiently waiting for us and we did not feel it was hurried to finish our tour. He was also happily answering and tried to explain our queries. It was indeed an enjoyable day trip to a beautiful Giverny Village. Giverny village & monet garden is beautiful & highly recommend to visit. Thank you
