What a wonderful day we had on this tour. Ann was very knowledgeable and patient. Versailles was on my bucket list for years and Monet’s Garden was a perfect duet and with lunch between the two. Yes, I highly recommend this tour.

It is very handy to be able to get to both venues in one day. Our guide was lovely. Lunch was at a charming old mill venue and just right. Versailles was about as minimal a walk through of both palace and gardens as could be. So, if time is short, this is a good option. If you really want to take your time and perhaps get more in depth access to Versailles especially, consider a booking that includes more of the private areas.
A great day!

This was an excellent tour! It was unfortunately rainy most of the day but getting to see Monet’s water lily pond and home was worth the visit! We also loved Versailles and our guide did a wonderful job taking us through the history of the palace! The lunch stop was lovely with delicious, locally prepared cuisine and delicious wine! If you’re lover of Monet and French history, cuisine, I highly recommend this tour!
Great time!
