Thoroughly enjoyed our trip despite being a bit pricey. Our tour guide was excellent! He was very enthusiastic and kept us very well informed of the history. Giverny & Versailles palace were both beautiful! Lunch venue was great, however food could improve.

Engaging & professional guide and driver, full of interesting information throughout the journey. FANTASTIC lunch venue at Moulin des Fourges like a postcard with simple but delicious French fare. Tour group was a good size only 14.

We had a really great time at both Versailles and Giverny. We had a very personable tour guide and a wonderful outdoor lunch at an out of the way restaurant with a great backdrop. The only suggestion would be to do Versailles first and Giverny in the afternnon. After such a tranquil lunch it's a little tough to go the hustle and bustle of busy Versailles.

Excellent! Well timed, not rushed.

It was a wonderful day trip. I traveled with a girlfried and both of us loved Giverny. Make sure you have enough memory in your camera- the place is a feast for the eyes. We had a 3 course meal included in the package. The food was simple but still very fulfilling. Add to all of that, having a warm and very accommodating guide. She amused us with her wealth of trivia on the places we visited and the characters who lived in Versailles. I would highly recommend to anyone who can spare a day from Paris.

Our Tour Guide was awesome! Very articulate and her comments were interesting. We needed a wheelchair for one of our group. She worked tirelessly to get one for us both at Giverny and Versailles. It was very crowded at both places. She waited to make sure that we were within hearing distance throughout the Versailles Tour. She couldn't do enough for us! It was great! Thank you!

Great trip with a very good guide. Time spent at Giverny was perfect followed by lunch at the French BB Watermill Rest was lovely. Guide was very informative during the tour of Versailles but we lost some time and so not enough time was allocated for the famous gardens. Overall a great trip. Worth the time and money.

Great trip, and we especially appreciated the driving tour through the small towns between Versailles and Giverny.

We had an excellent tour guide and a great trip. Monet's Garden is just beautiful. Versailles is great; would have been nice to have longer there, but we needed to do the two in one day so of course time was limited. This was well worth doing, and lunch was in a beautiful setting -- set menu but very pretty place.

Wonderful day trip! The Paris Vision office is easy to get to using the Metro. The guide pointed out points of interest while we were still in Paris. We got to see the French countryside. Versailles was beautiful, as was Giverny and the village - we had time to explore it. Lunch was at a beautiful village we would never have found on our own. On the way back, the guide had the driver take us through a couple of very scenic villages. Very good trip!

Giverny was beautiful and we gained a real sense of what motivated Monet to express his wonderful talent. Versailles was awesome in its decadence and beauty. One cannot fail to feel how it played its part in the shaping of a nation.

On a short holiday to Paris this is a great way to fit in a jaunt outside the city and experience two magnificent locations! Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. She took great care of our group and made sure we were all looked after and accounted for. Giverny was tranquil and filled with beauty. Versailles was a treasure of opulence and history. Our luncheon was surprisingly elegant - 3 courses, along a picturesque riverside. All details of the day were finely prepared. The bus was a comfy ride home after a long day.

Our only problem was that it was scheduled for Bastille Day and very hard to get to the tour place. They did not have us in the computer for any of the tours so my husband had to go to a different location before they would let us on the bus.
