Giverny privat tur: Monet's House & Garden

We recently used My Private Paris for our trip in June. I can't say enough wonderful things about the company and the experience. *Everything* in Paris requires planning: tickets, transportation. Even things that are free entry sometimes require tickets. Navigating all this online is tricky and filled with Scammers. My travel arranger at MPP was Ludivine and she was a gem! I'm convinced she knows everything about Paris! I just told her what I wanted to see, what I wanted a guided tour for and she did the rest. Group tours, private tours (which we used and our driver Anicet and our guides, Ludivine, Victor and Hugo....I know....how much more French can it be!? ;) ) were fanTASTic guides who just made me as excited about Parisian history and culture as they clearly are! It's like wandering around with fun friends! I feel like I would have missed SO much information if I had done a group tour. They can arrange for you to be picked up at your hotel and dropped off it that's what you want. In short, MPP took our trip from great to Just a completely wonderful dream vacation. I shall be returning to Paris, and I shall be using My Private Paris without a doubt!

We did My Private Paris full day tour with Versailles and Giverny (Monet’s Garden). Zach was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. His depth and breadth of historical knowledge was remarkable. We learned so much about French history throughout the Palace, Greek Mythology as we walked the gardens, art history, and local culture such as different coffee styles. He could even identify a picture we took in Monet’s home, the artist, and all their other art and where it’s located. He knew when we needed to rush to get to something before crowds and also when we could slow down and take it in. We enjoyed getting to know him over the day and missed having his kind heart and brilliant mind the rest of our trip. A perfect day. Absolutely worth it.

Marc was charming and knowledgeable. He shared quite freely about what we were seeing. He was able to answer all our questions with ease. I would definitely use his services again.

Dina, our highly knowledgable guide for Giverny, was full of information not found in tour guide books. I studied art history and loved her discussion of Monet's art, gardening plan, and irascible personality. As a special and unexpected surprise, Dina also knew quite a bit about Japanese prints and their influence on Monet and other Impressionists. Japanese printmaking is one of my specialities (and I taught that area at the college level) and quite enjoyed the exchange of information. We were able to go to the front of the line on a Sunday afternoon after a pleasant drive with Francois along a scenic route and accommodate my particular off-route request to see the Museum of Impressionism nearby. Highly, highly recommend My Private Paris for a tour that will suprise and delight you!!

Excellent visit and excellent guides!! It was wonderful!!! The guides were so experienced and knowledgeable!!

First, this is the group you want to have guiding you. Thoughtful, thorough, kind, generous with their knowledge. Personable and easy going. Flexible! They make it "your day" or "your trip". Attention to your impressions and interests. They have a way of focusing on giving you as much or as little detail as you wish. If you want a custom trip, with experts, this is the group, look no further. We will return and we will use "My Private Paris" without question. "Magnifique, on s'est fait de nouveaus amis..." Not sure if I am relating this correctly, but it was Magnificent and we feel we have made new friends!
