Monet's home and gardens at Giverny were fabulous. If you are planning to see Giverny and Versailles, this combined trip is the most efficient way to cover both superb attractions.

I loved both sites. This tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting Paris. It was the highlight of my nine-week European holiday. Thank you.

I have always wanted to go to Giverny and was so excited to finally see it in person. The day started out very grey and threatening to rain. But once we got into the water garden the sun broke through the clouds and it looked so magical. We took tons of pictures, the flowers in the garden in front of Monet's house were truly amazing. Our tour guide on the coach bus was great and the tour guide we had inside Versailles was very knowledgeable. The gardens of Versailles are vast and beautiful. I wish we had visited on a Sunday when the fountains are on. I can only imagine how awesome they must look. Lunch was included with this tour. The restaurant is just outside the Versailles, the food was okay but felt like it was more the tourist special versus authentic French cuisine. I would recommend this tour for anyone who's a Monet fan and loves history and wants to see the inside of a royal palace.

The only thing that could have been better would be a bit more time at Versailles. Seeing the actual gardens of Claude Monet made his paintings come to life!

Versailles was breathtaking, and Giverny was suburb. It was raining that day, yet not even rain could spoil such beauty. In the gardens, the rain seemed to make everything come even more to life. What a great excursion.

The tour guide was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! The Mercedes bus glided through the countryside, and the lunch was delicious. Thanks so much!

Aside from Giverny and Versailles, both extraordinary, we were most impressed with our tour guide. She was knowledgeable, witty, easily understood - just a terrific resource. We highly recommend this tour and these folks.

Our tour guide was wonderful, she did an excellent job giving us the important facts and made it so you remembered and we had enough free time to do our own thing.

A great day of sightseeing, with ample time to browse Monet's garden as well as gain a good overview of the Palace of Versailles. The included lunch was also of a high standard.

Great day trip from Paris. Both sites are well worth seeing. Guided tour of Versailles was great; garden and self-explore time at Giverny also very nice. Lunch was pretty bland, but didn't expect much anyway.

Monet's gardens were gorgeous and well worth the visit. Versailles was also a nice way to spend some time outside of Paris but maybe doing both in one day was too much. Still, we enjoyed ourselves immensely.
