Daniel was our tour guide for the day on our day trip to giverny. After several days of dealing with trains and the metro, the private tour appealed as a less hassle option. Daniel and co. made the day extremely easy, which is just what we needed. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of Monet and Impressionism, which brought the experience more to life than if we had made the journey on our own. We’re very glad we chose the private tour option with Daniel as our guide, and would definitely have made the same choice now in retrospect over going it solo.
Wonderful experience with Eli and her driver to Giverny to tour Claude Monet’s house and gardens. Eli was very informative and helpful. I would recommend Eli and this tour.
Our tour guide did not speak English so we received no information and basically paid over $700.00 for a driver.
All our guides speak fluent English and have almost 5 star reviews, see previous reviews. I can just suppose that You have chosen NOT LIVE GUIDED option with tickets and driver only. You get always what You have paid for. That's it. Price per person on Viator web is EUR 285 for Non Live Guided option..
Dave was just the best. Very knowledgeable and very attuned to our needs and wishes. Very enthusiastic about the subject. And Nikolas' driving was also fantastic. We felt very safe in his hands. Seeing Monet's adopted village first-hand really brought his work to life.
Excited to Go to Giverny. In lobby at 7:45 am for a 8am tour All ready to go. Tour guide no showed and no call …no nothing. Very disappointed! I wouldn’t recommend this tour company.
It was unfortunately our mistake. We apologise. We have contacted the travellers and offered to do this trip later the same day with 10% discount or any other day this week and got a response that they can not do it. It is a half day trip. We start normally at 08:00 and we could start at 10:30 and make the same itinerary. We tried to do our best to settle this issue.
Driver excellent and got us our skip the line tickets into the Gardens and Monet House. Responsive driver when we were ready to leave. Loved the house and gardens and would recommend visiting. We chose not to use a tour guide but tour on our own.
This is an excellent option if you are traveling with anyone with mobility challenges. We selected the private tour, knowing we would need accommodations for a member of our group and it was the perfect choice. Our guide Mykyta) was kind and patient, proactively finding ways to make the tour more manageable for our friend. His commentary kept the whole group entertained and engaged throughout the tour. When we needed to end the day early due to maxing out mobility capabilities, he and the driver went above and beyond to pick up our friend in an alternative location to our original meeting place. It ended up being the perfect day for us, with everyone enjoying the experience.
Had a brief time in Paris and wanted to see Monet's gardens/house. Looked at several tours, but most were large and required us to travel to a designated meeting location. Booked this tour (Clewel travel) through GetYourGuide as they would pick us up at our hotel and it was a private tour for the 2 of us. We paid the extra for a driver AND a personal tour guide. Ilya, our tour guide, was fantastic. He contacted us through WhatsApp and text the day before and the morning of the tour. He and the driver arrived at our hotel a few minutes before 8am and we hit the road in a Mercedes van. We made a brief rest stop before arriving and were dropped off near the entrance. Ilya was very knowledgeable and discussed history on the drive down. He guided us around the grounds in a direction to catch the fewest crowds early. He continued to give history of Monet and the house and grounds throughout the tour. He was there to take pictures of us and, at the end, gave us good recommendations for lunch. I was glad we opted for the 6.5 hour tour. It gave us about 2 hours on our own to walk around town, see Monet's grave, and get lunch at Restaurant Baudy (which had been a hotel famous for artists in Monet's time). Ilya communicated with us near the end of our time and when finished, picked us up and delivered us to our hotel. It was a great tour and I'm very glad we chose this private option. Yes, it is more expensive than the larger bus tours, but the service to our hotel, personal driver and tour guide and the extra time was worth it for me. Would definitely recommend and would use them again.
Olga was very informative and professional. She had a deep knowledge and infectious enthusiasm. The driver was careful and safely got us to and from the venue.
Our driver Vladim met us at our hotel and navigated construction to meet us with no issue 15 minutes ahead of schedule. The van was comfortable and clean. He was an excellent driver. Our guide Olga was knowledgeable and friendly and kept us moving without rushing us. The gardens were stunning and worth the entire trip to France. Take the earliest tour that you can as it grounds quickly get busy
