★★★★★★★★★★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…”

Travel by air-conditioned bus from one of three Paris meeting points, then explore Versailles independently with entry to the palace, gardens, Trianon Estate, Queen’s Hamlet, and seasonal fountain shows.

“The best option with transfer to the Versailles palace! The guide is excellent man with good explanations. The excursion itself is by your own with audio guide, but it is quite convenient because you can go with your own speed. Also the most pleasant thing was the fact that we have small extra excursion (free) to the parfum museum! And our group even got some small presents during that excursion!”

“Tour guide was knowledgeable, gave us time to look around and ask questions. We never felt rushed. It rained all day, appreciate the earlier access to the bus, not everyone wanted to tour the gardens and there is nowhere really to wait that is covered. Bus was comfortable, appreciate the host telling us about Paris. We went on a Sunday, guide said that was usually busier at palace, it was crowded. But overall a great time.”

Travel from Paris to Giverny in a minivan group of up to eight. Your guide leads you to Monet’s flower gardens and water-lily pond, then gives you time to explore his colorful home before visiting his grave. Guides such as Kenny, Lucy, Frankie, and Marius are praised for clear, friendly commentary.

“Our guide John was fantastic! Very knowledgeable, great energy and open to question's. You could tell he enjoys his work! He also does the champagne tour, so next time I’m in Paris (and I’ll be back), I will request him! Be aware the travel time is 1 hour each way to Monet’s house.”

“Both Hendricks and Helin were amazing guides! Hendricks was an absolute wealth of knowledge on everything to do with Monet, and Helin showed real insights on her Versailles 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”
