JP picked up at our Paris hotel for a private journey to Giverny, where we toured Monet’s private garden and home. Transportation was great. Guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and skillful. Everything was as advertised! Better!
Do not book this tour! The company confirmed 2 days before and then no showed the morning of the tour. 45 minutes after we were supposed to meet they finally replied to my text asking where they were and cancelled. So we missed out on going entirely since it was then too late to rebook with someone else.
Dear Kand, We’re truly sorry to read your review and to hear about the disappointment you experienced. After thoroughly checking our records, we can confirm that we did not receive any booking under your name for the date in question. As a result, we were unfortunately unaware of your planned tour and had no way of preparing or contacting you in advance. It’s possible that the issue originated with a third-party booking platform, and we strongly encourage you to follow up directly with them for clarification. We understand how upsetting it must be to have your day disrupted, especially with such high expectations—and we completely sympathize with your frustration. Providing a reliable, high-quality experience is at the heart of what we do, and we regret that this miscommunication affected your plans. Should you return to Paris, we would love the opportunity to welcome you properly and show you the level of service we are known for. Warm regards,
It is a very, very beautiful museum. The house is splendid as are the two gardens. You need at least 2.5 hours of visit to take the time to observe. Very warm welcome from the staff, however to avoid waiting to buy tickets, take them beforehand. But not on site, via the internet because the WiFi works very poorly. There is also a bar with terrace and a very good ice cream parlor Good visit
Sarah took my mom and I on a tour of Monet’s gardens and house. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time. She was incredibly knowledgeable and very kind to us. The gardens were beautiful and well worth the trip from Paris. I would 100% use them for another tour and hope to in the future!
The guide on this trip was terrific- he knew so much about the Monet and the gardens. It is a stunningly beautiful place to visit. The ride from and to Paris was also beautiful- not to be missed if you are a Monet fan.
Fantastic tour of Claude Money’s gardens and home! Our guide Ang provided so much interesting information on the drive from Paris and during our walk around. Highly recommend!
The guide was right on time picking us up on a rainy day in a busy Paris. He was friendly with excellent English skills and provided helpful historical background for our visit to Giverny and Monet’s residence.
What an experience so blissful and discover. And a ZEN feeling happens to you despite the crowds. The house really is a discovery!
Excellent tour - not rushed and guide steered us around heavy tour group traffic to enjoy the gardens with minimal interference. Drove back to the main highway via a different route that allowed enjoying the Normandie countryside.
