The driver was very knowledgeable and careful. The lunch stop at an old converted mill was most enjoyable. Enjoyed Monet's garden and Versailles but unfortunately it was such a hot day that we did go out to the gardens just observed them from the Palace.

This was a great trip and well worth the price! In a small group of 8 plus the driver guide, we had a minivan that was very comfortable and was able to park close to the entrance, so no need to spend part of the day hiking to the entrance. Good guidance and tips from the guide, and you get to tour at your own pace. All tickets taken care of - no wasting time in lines. Lunch was very good too!

We had an excellent tour guide. He was full of knowledge from the second we got in the comfortable, clean van. We saw soooo much. Lunch food was OK. Beautiful place. Monet's gardens looked like the day Monet himself painted them. Versailles was absolutely magnificent. Highly, highly recommend. Worth the money. Bring snacks.

Our driver was wonderful, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to have as a guide. The entire day went smoothly and as planned. We loved Versailles and avoided the long line we would have had if we went on our own. Giverny was spectacular in June, I love Monet so this was an unforgettable experience. Lunch was delicious and the setting was lovely, near a stream and old cottage with a waterwheel. Overall, I can't imagine a better tour. This was first rate!

Giverny was amazing and the Versailles beautiful. Well worth the trip to do both in one day if your time is limited.

Our guide was great, and the tour and lunch were excellent. However, we had a short time at each location, so if you are a traveler who takes lots of time when visiting, this is not the trip for you.

Giverny was absolutely delightful - everything I'd hoped it would be. We had been to Versailles before and were disappointed to see the modern art there. It was completely out of place. Our lunch was wonderful and at an absolutely perfect location. Our tour guide was great!

The driver was almost an hour late and drove extremely fast to get caught up. He just dropped us off at the different places and we were on our own.

First, the driver was 5 star all the way. The best guide of the 3 tours we took. Lunch was perfect in a beautiful setting. If you are an art lover, Monet's Giverny may be worth the trip, otherwise, it might be wiser to spend more time at Versailles. The local Monet museum was closed, so we spent at least an hour longer than needed there. 3 hours there is just not enough time to see both Versailles proper and its gardens, much less Marie Antoinette's apartments. However, if you want to see both and are time constrained, this is the tour. If I had to do it over again, may have done all day at Versailles, but then would have missed the wonderful lunch setting!

It would have been nice if the tour guide took us through the castle in Versailles. Also, lunch was quite rushed and we weren't advised as to what we were eating.
