Stop At:  
Fondation Claude Monet
You will be driven from Paris to Giverny, in the comfort of an air-conditioned minibus, where you will start your day with the visit of Claude Monet’s property. Located at the edge of Normandy, about 50 miles north of Paris, Claude Monet’s Home is one of the most popular tour destination around Paris. There you will discover the famous gardens created by the most famous of the Impressionist painters often referred to as the father of Impressionism, though not the first to have painted in « a style that would become known as Impressionism ». You will enjoy the sight of the well-known Japanese bridge in the midst of its flowered paths and wather-lily ponds, and the house, with its pink crushed brick façade, where the leader of the Impressionist School spent 43 years from 1883 until his death in 1926. After a morning spent in one of this most inspirational settings, you will head off to the banks of the Epte River where you will have lunch at the lovely “Moulin de Fourges” restaurant, a 200-year-old mill. The architecture of this listed site, dating back to the 18th century, draws its inspiration from hamlet of Marie-Antoinette at Versailles.

If you don’t have long in Paris and these are on your list i HIGHLY recommend this tour. Isabelle was absolutely wonderful for our guide. We met at the office and she first drove us out to Monet’s House and Gardens in Giverny giving great commentary as we were driving there. The Gardens were absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Isabelle gave us the history of the house and gardens and then we had time to explore. After leaving Monet’s House and Gardens we had a lovely lunch along the river. Then we went to Versailles - WOW! There is nothing like it. We met with a small group at Versailles where we were given headers for a more comfortable tour/listening experience (very glad we had these as it would have been loud with out, also allowed us to explore and look around the room). Isabelle gave wonderful explanation of each room as we walked thru Versailles. We then concluded with a brief description of the gardens and given time to explore on our own before being taken back.

Highly recommend! This tour is a must!! We were so lucky to only have 3 people in our group. Lucille was our tour guide. She was amazing! So friendly, passionate, knowledgeable, professional and nothing was a trouble for her. Best tour guide ever!!! The morning spent in Giverny at Monet's home and garden was spectacular! The colours and beauty of the gardens were mind-blowing! Then our 3 course was lunch was delicious! Can't fault the food or service. Quintessential french countryside location. Then Versailles in the afternoon. Such grandure and beauty. This tour exceeded all our expectations!!! Thank you to Lucille for making it such a memorable experience!!! Wouldn't have been the same without her as our tour guide!!!

I did two day trips: this one and a larger group to Loire Valley. This one was far superior. It was a small group (just my party of three and two others). The tour guide was absolutely lovely, and she was very good at giving us historical context for the sights we were viewing. The van ride was smooth, and once we arrived at Monet's house we were allowed plenty of time to explore on our own. Lunch was a three-course meal including an aperitif, a bottle of red, and a bottle of white for the five of us. The food was great, and I even bought a bottle of the local cider because it was so good. The palace of Versailles was magnificent, and the tour route was brief but well thought out. We were allowed time at the end to explore the huge gardens before heading back. What I liked most was that the pace was almost perfect - we never spent too long in any place, but we never felt rushed and were able to really appreciate the sights. I would definitely recommend this day trip to anyone interested in Monet or Versailles!

Loved Giverny and the lunch was fantastic. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, but by the end of the day at Versailles, we were overloaded with information so the cliff notes version would have been fine so that we could have enjoyed equal time in their beautiful gardens.

1. Lovely drive out to Giverny and Versailles. Very scenic and picturesque. 2. We had enough time to wander the grounds at Monet’s house, and the town. 3. The meal at Moulin de Fourges was amazing. Beautiful plating, great wine, and they made chicken and potatoes look completely new and amazing. 4. Great tour of the palace at Versailles (even in a massive crowd) and just enough time to shop and enjoy the gardens. Isabel was a lovely guide and it was fun listening to her talk about Paris, Monet and Marie Antoinette. The next time I come to Paris I will make sure to book tours with this company again.

Wonderful tour! Yvonne, the driver and tour guide, was personable and knowledgeable. Very good English speaker. Great idea to pair these two venues of Monet's lovely home and gardens in Giverny and the fabulous palace and gardens of Versailles. Lunch in between at the charming restaurant on the river was a treat.

Rosanne was an incredible and knowledgeable guide
dreeuwijk24

We enjoyed our tour. Roseanne drove us in a very comfortable VW van and lunch was good. Our only complaint is that there is no guided tour at giverny, which is what we expected. The tour at Versailles was wonderful and we learned a great deal about French history. The weather in October was a bit dreary, definitely suggest September instead.

My husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in Europe and booked this day trip. Giverny and Versailles are beautiful. Our tour guide Rosanne was great. She is very knowledgeable. She was very in tune with the needs of our small group and some of the limitations one of the guests had. Booking the trip online was easy. The instructions on where and when to meet were clear and easy. Our only suggestion is skipping lunch at the restaurant (it was wonderful) and spending more time at Versailles in the gardens. Maybe grabbing something on the go instead of taking the hour or so to eat. We will definitely book through Viator again.

Monet's garden was magical, the only damper was the rain that flowed all day long... the countryside you travel through is so quaint, the lunch was superb, as well as the wine, and Versailles was beautiful... a lot of people, but worth the trip
