The best way to see these two fantastic places. The guide was very knowledgeable, and the lunch was lovely.

If you are a Monet fan, going to his home in Giverny is very exciting and was a wonderful experience. The lunch at the restaurant was excellent. Not enough time at Versailles however. Our tour guide was very informative and spoke perfect English.

Giverny is so beautiful. The Japanese garden is everything we imagined. A tip: There is a shop that sells apple juice there; definitely get some. The sugar is great and needed for Versailles. Lunch was so so good! Now, Versailles is a league of its own. Words cannot describe it. We are going back for at least another day when we are next in France, it is massive! Loved this trip, but could have spent less time at Giverny and more at Versailles!

Great historic commentary about Monet, super trip, and lunch was an unexpected bonus.

Excellent tour and guide, good guided portion and then plenty of time to see more on your own.

Claude Monet's house and garden at Giverny were so beautiful that we forgot about the long walk from the coach parking lot. We got lost on the way back from the house and almost missed the bus. Fortunately, local residents were very friendly--and probably used to lost tourists!--and directed us back to our pickup point. Our guide was very professional and smoothed all ruffled feathers. Lunch was at a big restaurant near Versailles. The food was good, although it was a set menu. Versailles was packed with people, but our guide managed the group very well with headsets. She made sure we visited the gardens while the fountains were turned on. We couldn't have seen and done all the things we did if we had been touring independently.

Amazing tour guide! She was entertaining, able to answer some of the most obscure questions, and obviously knew her history. Very glad we signed up for the full-day tour as the gardens at Giverny are stunning, and Versailles should only be done with a professional guide.

We had a terrific tour guide who had a wealth of information. With this being our first time in France, we thought the experience with our guide was definitely one never to forget. Just a little gripe with lunch: we were served fish, and thought a choice may have been better. Thank you again, and we would recommend any tour through Viator.

Great tour, a little long at Giverny but not terribly long. Both places are sights to behold and not to be missed! Guide was patient and easy to understand. I recommend this tour, our group only had about 20 people so it was really manageable.

I have been very interested in the arts since I got an A in a class at USC. I felt so privileged being in Monet's house and garden knowing that that place was his inspiration and his most valuable masterpiece of all. The palace was simply amazing!! Walking on the grounds of the palace was an out-of-body experience by itself. Knowing that it was once lived in by monarchy!
