Both Guide and Driver were excellent. Like new friends. Tour site was also excellent as it gave us a new understanding of Monet
We were very happy with the trip. Everything worked smoothly. Both the guide and the driver were very helpful, as well as the person who we talked to in advance of the trip to arrange the pickup location.
The garden is beautiful and was worth the trip. The hotel pick up and drop off is very convenient. The crowds and unusually hot temperature were not fun to deal with, but obviously not within Viator's control. The guide, however, added no value. He read information about Monet off his iPad and admitted he knows little about gardens, when I asked him. He could have used the time driving to Giverny to provide information about the trip and what we were going to see. He said nothing. Perhaps he hasn't been doing this tour very long.
All our guides for Giverny are experienced and you can read great reviews about all of them. All of them have got names. Most of them have started after pandemics since 2021 and I can hardly imagine that one of them was something reading from I Pad. We are happy that you liked at least our doo-to-door pick up. And the gardens are beautiful ...
This tour of Monet’s House and Giverny was fantastic and so inspiring! Our tour guide, Maria (Masha) was so enthusiastic and kept everyone engaged. She was very knowledgeable. There was enough of a balance between informative tour and free time to explore the surroundings.
A truly inspiring trip to Monet's house and gardens in Giverny. Maria/Masha was an excellent, well-informed and witty guide. Would definitely recommend this trip. Thankyou.
Maria was a wonderful guide. We were picked up directly at our hotel and driven to Giverny. There were 5 of us in the van. Maria took us first to the burial place of Monet and then on to his home and gardens. Maria is very cheerful and knowledgeable. Her suggestions of the order to do things - first touring Monet’s home, then proceeding to the shop and finally the Japanese gardens was perfect and helped us to avoid the growing crowds. We then had time for a leisurely lunch in the village outside of the Money gardens and a nice ride back to Pairs.
My smalll-group half-day trip to Giverney was a great experience. It was definitely worth the money. A hotel pick-up and drop-off as announced. No waiting on long queues before entering Monet's house and gardens. We were among the first to go in. The English speaking guide Daniel is an intelligent, well-educated and expert guide. His story about Monet's life and art was given to us in a charming way. We had the free time for enjoying the gardens, walk leisurely through the main street and finally have our drink and optionally lunch in the open air on the spot. A really memorable experience!
Our guide Olga was informative and extremely friendly giving us an insightful overview of Monet and the beautiful gardens. Thank you so much Olga.
This tour was good, but we had issues, mainly with the guide. We also had hot weather and long lines, crowded everywhere, no shade. Need to know local provider to fully review.
It is crowded In Giverny in high season. Thank You for You statement that this "...tour was good." Find in future less crowded places please or come during not so bizy time. Good Luck !
