5.00Great day visiting the gardens and house! Both Kadir and Michelle have a lovey way about themselves, engaging, informed and both excellent. Very easy to meet the group in Paris and travel on a luxury coach. The gardens are magnificent. We enjoyed a nice lunch on the property. It was a great addition to our week in Paris.
Great trip to Giverny

5.00I had originally booked a more expensive small group tour but it was cancelled the day before. I was hesitant about the big bus tour but it was great and saved me money. The heat was a lot but the AC was worth it on the bus

4.00We were with Michelle and Hendrix. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. Great tour. Only issue was all the traffic in the morning. So we had to rush a bit to see everything when we arrived at Giverny. Otherwise very friendly and beautiful place.
Go for it! Great tour.

5.00Michelle is an excellent tour guide—wonderful explanations. I am picky about tour guides. Kudos to her. Hendrix was clear when giving directions. The half day tour is just barely enough time. I did not get to the museum, but that was at the bottom of my list. There are places to have a full meal. A full-day tour would have been a better choice for me. However, I got enough on the half-day. Be on time! There is a wonderful collection of Monet’s woodcut prints (he was a collector of them). Delightful all around.
Amazing Guide and Tour!

5.00Our half-day tour of Giverny and Monet's Home and Gardens was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our trip. The gardens were absolutely stunning, bursting with vibrant flowers, picturesque pathways, and the iconic water lily pond that inspired so many of Monet's masterpieces. Seeing Monet's home and the beautiful grounds in person was truly unforgettable. A special thank you to our tour guides, Michelle and Hendricks, who made the experience even more enjoyable. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and had a great sense of humor. Their fascinating stories about Monet, the history of Giverny, and French culture brought the tour to life, while their friendly personalities kept the group engaged and entertained throughout the day. The tour was well organized, informative, and the perfect length for exploring this incredible destination. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Paris area and looking to experience the beauty and inspiration behind Monet's work.
