The excursion was well organized. It was important for my mother to have an audio guide in Russian, which determined the choice of this company. The bus was comfortable, departure and return - on schedule. Monet's estate and gardens are beautiful. One of the most beautiful places I have ever been to.

The gardens were absolutely stunning but so very crowded - so glad we were able to save time by skipping the very long queue for entry tickets

This was the most amazing tour and I'm only bummed that it couldn't be longer. The weather was on our side and it didn't rain except during points when we were on the bus or inside. And our tour guide Alex was the best! She knew everything about Monet and the Palace and brought us to the best lunch. Of course the highlights were the sights of Giverny and Monet's gardens, though there weren't any water lilies unfortunately. And the Palace was exquisite, though crowded. Completely worth every penny!

It was great to find a tour that included two key sites in one day trip. Many available are one or the other and when you are travelling you often have limited time so finding a way to put them both together definitely was a highlight. Both tours were run by different tour guides, and the tour at the palace of Versailles was run by such an expert in the field it was fantastic to have someone so passionate showing us around. Tips for anyone taking this tour: - if you want to save money you can bring a packed lunch pretty easily as there is no designated meal time. That's at your own discretion - it starts early and we don't stop for your own time until midday so definitely eat breakfast beforehand or bring snacks - Monets house was packed so do that first before you even look at the gardens otherwise you may miss out - bring a hat if it is spring or summer especially - there is water available to purchase but bring your own - the location they drop you off afterwards is different to pickup and they didn't give us that location. It made it a little harder for us to return to our hotel after as it was further away and we didn't know. Not a deal breaker but don't plan anything afterwards to give you extra time to travel at the end

Ticketing was easy and worked well. Loved the gardens and house but such a shame they allow so many people there at one time. Just too crowded. All tickets should be pre purchased and numbers limited. The bus taking us had air conditioning issues, pumping hot air out of the vents upstairs. Guides were knowledgable and helpful.

The grounds are so beautiful. The area is easy to navigate. Bathrooms are readily available. Great gift shop with reasonable prices. The home is gorgeous and organized to enter and exit.

My dad often talked about Giverny and told us stories about it but we were always stumped by the lack of transportation. Thanks to this ticket that's not a problem any more; woo hoo!
