What You Can Expect

Versailles and Giverny Day Trip

Giverny, France

Monet lived at Giverny from 1883 to 1926, and it was here that he created such paintings as his famous "Nympheas" water lily sequence. Monet was the master of Impressionism, inspiring many visiting American Impressionist artists who walked through the gardens you'll visit on your Giverny tour. The Japanese bridge crossing the famous water-lily pond also featured in Monet's paintings.

Your tour continues to Versailles, on the way you will stop for lunch at the Moulin de Fourges, a picturesque mill on the banks of the Epte River. After lunch it's time for the glory and splendor of Versailles when you enter the gilded world of King Louis XIV. You'll visit the opulent Grand Apartments, the stunning chandelier-lit Hall of Mirrors and the Queen's Apartments. Along the way your expert guide brings the past alive with illuminating details of courtly life in the palace. While visiting Versailles you have free time to visit the formal gardens "a la Francaise".

5 star rating: Highly Recommended June 2013

The tour was exceptional. The Guide was incredibly knowledgable and personable.
The restaurant was surprisingly great. It was lovely and the food, wine and service were wonderful.

I would hate to take away from the 5 stars but I found the administration lacking. While on vacation I had no access to a printer. Maybe a move to the 21st century would be good so that you can send an eticket and scan it. It gave me great anxiety which was completely unnecessary. It would deter me from booking a last minute event with this company.
