Unique Tour Experience
Karen_S, Oct 2022
We throughly enjoyed our trip with Fred. His knowledge was vast and he engaged us in the trip right from the hotel. We loved the travels back to Paris along the Seine through the old villages & towns. Monet’s gardens & home were more than we could have expected. The lily pond was like seeing his paintings come to life! Amazing tour all the way around!!! Ore

Our guide was Frederick, vastly knowledgeable about Impressionism in a fully engaging way. We got so much more from this guided tour than if we had visited Giverny on our own.

Excellent experience....
Mary_L, Oct 2022
Excellent experience. Beyond our expectations. Our guide, Zara, was delightful & so knowledgeable of Claude Monet, the most extraordinary gardens & history in general of Paris. On the way to and from the gardens, she drove us through specific areas and pointed out specific buildings, streets & monuments acknowledging American history with France (as we are Americans). Highly recommend!!

Half-Day Versailles Trip Heavenly
Katrina_S, Sep 2022
My husband and I had a wonderful private half-day tour with Bertrand. He is friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable of everything you would ever want to know about the history of Versailles. Incredibly informative and have a private tour at our own pace was pure heaven! Highly recommend!
A wonderful day in Giverny
John_K, Sep 2022
We had a great trip with our guide Kevin. He was knowledgeable of the history of Monet, as well as Paris itself. He had a very nice car, and it was a very comfortable drive to and from the Gardens. Kevin made the time fly by, and gave us time to enjoy things at our own pace. This is the way to go on a tour in a small group!
Terrific half day tour to Monet’s Gardens.
Judie_K, Sep 2022
We had a lovely and informative drive to Giverny with Fred. He has a great sense of humor and gave us lots of historical information on the Normandy region and Monet’s life. We toured the fabulous gardens and house for 2 hours on our own. On the way back, because I had asked about info I had read about the chalk deposits in England and Normandy he took us on back roads so we could see some of this area. All in all it was an incredibly enjoyable half day trip and Fred dropped us off near Sacre Coeur, where we wanted to go next, instead of our hotel. We highly recommend Viator, Fred and this tour.
Photos do not compare to the beauty in person
STACEY_W, Jul 2022
Standing on Monet’s Japanese bridge and walking through the magical flower garden was amazing. Cafe at end of tour has take away food & drinks to enjoy. The gardens open at 9:30. We got there early by 9 and we got great photos before the afternoon crowds hit. Each room of Monet’s home was a different beautiful color. Loved everything about this gorgeous tour. Our guide Zara drove us from Paris to Giverny and was fantastic.
A perfect day.
Ginny_B, Jun 2022
This was a magnificent day. Our guide, Frederick, was superb! He was full of information on every subject, very accommodating, and even pushed by wheelchair through the gardens! We enjoyed our day tremendously
Great Day at Giverny
Audrey_S, Jun 2022
Our guide was fabulous (Kareem). He educated us on the life of Monet and was incredibly friendly & fun. I would definitely suggest this tour to my friends. We did the half day version; however, a full day tour would give you time to explore the local restaurants and shops!

Magical Giverny and Claude Monet’s home
Anne_M, May 2022
We were a party of 6 family members and friends ages 22-63. Our guide, Thomas set the tone for fun and comfort from our very first contact. He shared all kinds of history of Paris, the Giverny region, including Normandy, as well as the life of Monet, and a drive in the local village around Giverny. We had many laughs, felt totally care for, and completely enriched! Highly recommend!
Great experience
Gary_M, May 2022
This could not have been a more perfect experience. Frederic was amazing and a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.
Great site, pray for good weather.

Fabulous trip outside Paris
Madison_K, May 2022
Our guide Thomas was knowledgeable, helpful, and we learned a lot from him. He picked us us up on time, was a great driver as well. We went in the afternoon and it was very crowded with groups of old people, which made it hard to get around. Giverny was amazing, very idyllic and beautiful. The drive there and back was amazing. It was definitely worth it.
