2.Giverny Day Trip with Audio Guide or Live Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 2,372 reviews · 5 hours · from $93

Travel from Paris to Giverny by air-conditioned coach, then explore Claude Monet’s house, flower gardens, and famous water-lily pond. Choose a live guide such as Agnes, Alex, or Alexandra, or visit independently with an audio guide. Allow extra time for crowds and bring a snack.

“This tour is a MUST. Our guide Agnes attended to all guests respectfully. As I chose half day tour her guidance with highlighting important elements of the garden ensured I saw everything in a short period of time. I learned so many new facts about Monet that only added to the visit. The cost is well worth it, especially to ensure your safety . Three passengers did not join the bus at the clearly conveyed meet-up time. She held the bus for 30 minutes to accommodate those people that did not listen to directions. She didn't leave any behind. You won't get this personal attention anywhere except a private tour…”

They both showed their passion for their topics and both did really well managing the rather unwieldy tour group. Would definitely go again! Zac and Liv”

Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch

11.Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 755 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $392

Travel from central Paris to Monet’s house and water-lily garden in Giverny, enjoy a three-course lunch at Moulin de Fourges, then tour Versailles and the Hall of Mirrors. Groups are capped at 15, though larger departures have occasionally been reported.

“This was a great day experiencing the French countryside and Versailles. Our tour guide was fine. She seemed knowledgeable but there was a lot of static on the the transmitter that made it very hard to hear her and she often seemed in a hurry to finish and move on. Giverny and the lunch stop were beautiful and incredibly enjoyable. Versaille castle was super crowded and, although beautiful the experience was definitely diminished by all the people and the need to be on guard all the time. The gardens outside were incredible and we wished we had more time to explore them. Overall a really good experience!”

“Laurent was an excellent guide. We got to Monet's garden before it opened and it was so tranquil when we got there. He was also great at recommending what to see first in order to avoid any large tour groups. We had the garden to ourselves at times. What a beautiful location! Laurent was professional and friendly and we learned a lot on our trip.”

13.Giverny Monet’s Home & Versailles Palace Day Trip from Paris

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 746 reviews · 11 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $167

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Paris to Versailles and Giverny. A guide leads you through the palace, while Monet’s house and gardens are explored with a self-guided app. Guides such as Maxim, Thelma, Lawrence, and Martha have made a strong impression, though the Giverny portion is mostly independent.

“Great way to see both Giverny and Versailles. Ash was our first guide on the bus and provided us with an entertaining background on Monet. Anaïs was our guide in Versailles and she had a lot of insight and knowledge. The only thing I would change is that we spent a lot of time at Giverny - we were struggling to fill the time, but this may have been because it was the last day and normally more time is needed if popular?”
