Clair was wonderfully enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable about Giverny, Monet, Versailles, and French history/culture. Lunch was very tasty, comfortable, and relaxing. Bus ride was also comfortable and smooth.

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!

I thought the guide was too America centric and talked a lot about nothing. Was generally annoying. Sadly the venues are suffering from over tourism. I wanted to hear what the events had an affect on France. Not America.
