3.00There is a lot of walking especially up and down stairs. Our guide was rude and not patient. The best part of the tour was the beauty of both sites and a tour guide is the only way to get in and out without long lines.
Fantastic journey with the best guide!

5.00Alexandria is a fabulous host and guide for this tour. We enjoyed the information, the gardens in Giverny, lunch, and the guided tour of Versailles. Incredible views and the bus driver was great as well.
Great tour, long day!

5.00We have a great tour, albeit a long day. There was an accident on the highway that caused a delay in the morning, but we rushed through the Monet tour to make it up. I will say it’s a lot to see in one day and it would be great to do Versailles by itself one day. Steve was a great tour guide. He was informed and funny. We did move quickly so it’s not for anyone who has a difficult time walking or who might be a slow walker. Overall it’s a good tour!
Amazing day

5.00Seeing some countryside outside of Paris was great, Monet’s house was very interesting and being in his gardens and the lily pond felt like being in his painting. Lunch at the old mill was delicious as was the wine and it was fun talking with the others on the tour. Versailles was spectacular and a wonderful lesson in history Our guide Alexandra was amazing and very knowledgeable. She guided us through the day perfectly
