May Day Monet House & Garden Visit

Our 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!

Definitely 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

Our 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.

It 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
Magical and full of flowers.

I am writing this on behalf of my 11year old daughter for her Bronze Arts Award. When I entered Monets garden, I was immediately surrounded by beautiful flowers. It was a beautiful hot day and there was benches to sit in the shade and places to explore. The garden is really big and full to the brim with flowers. After exploring the first part of the garden which was more formally laid out in rows, we entered the house. The house is a pretty pink colour with dark green shutters. When you enter the house, you enter a small room full of his paintings. It’s a cosy, comfy room. It has a creative atmosphere. After you leave this room you can wander around the rest of the house. Each room has a colour theme. My favourite room was the kitchen. I really liked the brass cookware and beautiful blue tiles. The kitchen felt much calmer than the rest of the house. I really enjoyed visiting Monets house as it looked like his actual house not a museum. After visiting the house, we walked to the pond and the famous bridge. It was very busy and full of other visitors. The pond with water lilies was so nice to see as you can picture Monet sitting there painting. There weren’t many lillys in September but there was still some. My favourite part was the little streams dotted around the garden. Overall, I loved visiting Monets garden. I feel inspired to paint outdoors “en plein air” like Monet.
Wow stunning property and mansion.

We took a train from Paris to Giverny to see Monet’s house. When we got off the train and there was a shuttle bus, easy 10 minutes away from the mansion. We booked our time slot/ tickets before we left and it was no wait at all. It was however late October so the busy season is over at that point. You don’t need more than 20 minutes to see inside the mansion, but what a beautiful place! The kitchen/ dining room are the most amazing yellow I’ve ever seen. The house is so bright and beautiful. The gardens are so vibrant and very well laid out. He was such a creative person. It’s so worth the trip.
Beautiful garden but black with people

Beautiful place but overcrowding degrades the experience (queue for access, difficulties to walk in the alleys, waiting to get home...). Missing from my taste an explanatory display in the garden part that could recall and illustrate with the works of the painter.
A Great Experience

The private tour we took last week with Come and Go was absolutely fabulous! The guide, the driver and car, the photographer were all so professional and yet warm and kind at the same time. They arrived early and we were ready so we got there ahead of schedule. We chose this private way of traveling because we are hearing impaired. The guide sat across from us in the van and we could hear and understand everything perfectly. Not only did he tell us many fascinating details about Monet and the Impressionist painters, he also talked about French culture and history in general. I plan to return to Paris with extended family in the spring and I would definitely want to tour with them again. Thank you so very much for this wonderful experience!
