I gotta say, this tour was just what I needed after a week of Paris crowds! My partner and I went in with low expectations (honestly, thought it would be wayyyy too touristy), but the garden at Giverny is ridiculously pretty—like, movie set pretty. There were a ton of people but our guide (can’t remember her name but she was funny!) zipped us through the chaos and made sure we didn’t lose anyone. Versailles was, well, totally grand, but the inside felt suuuper packed. The best part for me was the little lunch spot—old mill, birds everywhere, and homemade apple tart that I’m still thinking about. We were a bit wiped by the end, but so worth it. PRO TIP: bring water and comfy shoes, it’s a looong day.

If you’re into gardens AT ALL, you gotta go! Went with my mom and sis in late June. Our guide, Luc, was patient with us stopping for a million flower pics (and yes, you really can’t take pics inside Monet’s house—just outside, fyi). Weather was sunny, so the colors were unreal. Lunch at the mill was totally chill, not fancy but reeeally good bread. Versailles was busy (like, shoulder to shoulder at some points) but still worth it for the crazy gold and mirrors. We got a bit lost in the gardens but stumbled on a bunch of ducks so that was hilarious. Def bring sunscreen and comfy shoes.

Went with my mum (she loves Monet) and the gardens did NOT disappoint. The colors were wild, like real-life painting vibes. The house itself is cool but sooo crowded, felt like we shuffled through a queue the whole time. Versailles = super impressive but honestly I was ready to sit after that. Our guide was energetic and patient, even when some folks kept wandering off. Coach was comfy, AC worked which was a lifesaver. Only downside—wish we got more free time at Giverny, it felt rushed. Still, nice way to pack a lot in if you’re short on days.

    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.

    Went with my mom and little bro. The bus was super comfy, and the AC was a total lifesaver since it was suuuper hot out. Giverny was honestly like walking into a painting, flowers EVERYWHERE. Versailles was packed (guess that's normal), but our guide, Jerome, kept us moving and gave us cool facts. Lunch at the old mill = wow, so French, even if my bro hated the cheese. Would recommend, but wear sneakers, so much walking!

    Went on this tour with my mum and we LOVED it. The guide was super friendly, told us random Monet facts I’d never heard before (did you know he was obsessed with water lilies??). Monet’s garden was like walking through a painting, honestly, but sooo many people – we kept bumping into elbows, lol. Versailles was HOT but beautiful (bring water, trust me). I’d do it again just for the garden vibes and the little bakery we stopped by for pastries on the way back. Totally worth the early wake-up.

    Great tour for seeing a lot in one day. Guide was friendly, bus was comfy, and lunch was decent. Only negative—crowds everywhere.

    Giverny is a dream, just like Monet’s paintings. Versailles is… a palace. Our guide was funny and kept us moving. Only complaint is the group was maybe too big, so hard to ask questions sometimes. Wear good shoes, lots of walking!
