A real taste of France and it's art history. A lovely day out.

If you love Monet then you should take this bike tour. Take a break from crowded Paris and have a peaceful small French town.

The excursion was very nice. Our guide was great. Everything went very well. I didn't like the style of bike as there is a lot of play in the handlebars. Other than that, it was good.

This was a wonderful experience overall. However, it was hard to navigate traffic through Denon. Perhaps starting the biking portion of the tour closer to the bike trail would help with this. Also, we were told about visiting a farmers' market for lunch supplies, but this does not take place on Fridays -- the day we took the tour.

This was a lovely bike trip even with the ugly weather it was raining on and off the entire day. this was mainly due to our wonderful guide, who made the day fun! Giverny was beautiful and I wish there was more biking involved, we were not on the bikes for too long compared to the Versailles bike tour which I also did. Monet's garden is quite lovely though, and a must for any Monet fans.

Very good though it would have been better to have a little more time in the market at Vernon. Suggest using earlier train as on weekdays.

The Giverny tour was surprisingly pleasant and Monet's Garden was a revelation! Again, the tour guide was caring and well prepared! Worthy!

This was the highlight of our week in Paris. The guide was delightful and helpful, and the weather was perfect. The bike riding was easy. I only wish we had time to go through the American Museum of Impressionists, which is on the same street.

The Monet tour was awesome, I think going in the spring would have been better, though.

Trip was ok, but not what I was expecting. The group was too large - 25 people, and we spent too much time stopping to make sure everyone was still together. I was also expecting more guided commentary once we were at Giverny. Basically, you could have taken the train and rented a bicycle yourself for much less than the cost of this trip, and it would have been just as good. Our guide was a very nice young man and he did his best, but I think this trip would be better with smaller group no more than 12-15 people. Also, the description indicated that as an option, one could bicycle up the road for cider tasting, but that was clearly not an option as our guide knew nothing about it, and there was no time to do so. All in all, I was disappointed.

The guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. However, the trip was overpriced given the price of the train ticket and nominal entry fee to Giverny.
