What an amazing day visiting Monet’s home and garden as well as Versailles. Our guide Clementine was knowledgeable, sweet and funny, she helped to make the day even more enjoyable. The Monet portion was the highlight for me, although Versailles was very large and impressive. We also stopped for a Crepe lunch (per Clementine's suggestion) , which was delicious.

What a fantastic day! Tim was a great guide on our trip. We got a great historical overview prior to entering each location. Monet’s gardens were everything I hoped for! I can see why his paintings are so beautiful-what great inspiration! Versailles was fascinating but so massive it was hard to take everything in. Loved seeing the Hall of Mirrors where the Treaty of Versailles was signed and I especially loved our visit to the Petite Trianon where Marie Antoinette made her home. Oh, and let’s not forget the spectacular gardens at Versailles. All in all, a lovely day!

Our guide, Marceau, was excellent! The trip and pacing between Versailles and Giverney worked out perfectly with a nice relaxing lunch break.

Wonderful day out of the city. Guide gave us just enough history and information without overwhelming us and let us wander on our own when needed.

Mariè was awesome! Great tour guide that used visual guides that she had prepared to explain the history of everything. You starts in Giverny and see the grave of Monet for a minute and walk through the village which is amazing. Then you go to the pond/garden and the house for about 1.5 hrs. More than enough time. She then drove us to Versailles and talk more in depth of what we had already seen and what she was taking us to. There isnt enough time on any tour to see all of Versailles. For sure a two day event. This trip does everything you need it too and gives you the time to explore more ir less depending on your speed and still gives you a guide experience to ask questions later. Loved this.

We had a fabulous day! Marius was a marvellous guide, so knowledgeable and had a real passion for his job, we really enjoyed his information and sense of humour! We were lucky that we 3 were the only ones on our trip but I’m sure it would be just as great with the full vehicle. Marius provided us with big umbrellas when it unfortunately rained at Versailles and he ensured we still had a great time and saw lots. Thanks Marius, we loved our day 😀
