From Paris: discovery of Monet's house and its gardens in Giverny

What a perfect day! I really liked to be picked up directly from my hotel. The driver was really kind, giving us a lot of information about Paris and its culture (Thank you for the restaurants recommandations!) Monets house is a very crowded place so you need to be patient there, Im glad we could have skip the line tickets otherwise it would have been really long to get in.

Site itself was wonderful. Only problem (as our guide explained) is that visitors per year has gone from 100,000 to 800,000 making it VERY crowded. Try to inquire when off-times might be.

Ich habe diesen noblen Event [364,-€]für meinen Mann und mich zu unserem Kennenlerntag ( 1.Mai 1992) , am 13.12.2025 gebucht, am 22.03.2026 bezahlt für den 1.Mai! (weil ich nicht so gut zu Fuß bin, das heißt nicht länger als 3Stunden spazierengehen kann/50% schwerbehindert. Ich wollte es einfach haben & vom und zum Hotel hin- und zurück gebracht werden) Dieser Event war der Grund warum wir nach Paris fuhren! Von unserem Urlaub in Nizza als Abschluss nach Paris geflogen - für 3Tage, dann mit dem TGV nach Frankfurt zurück.(ohne den Ausflug haben wir um die 1400€ ausgegeben, es gab keine richtige Entschuldigung - wir fanden in der Kürze KEINERLEI ERSATZ- ALLE MUSEEN waren geschlossen, teilweise auch die Restaurants, zu spät für eine Buchung für den 1.Mai!) Nachricht am 24.04. vom Veranstalter:We hope you're as excited as we are for your upcoming visit! We wanted to give you a quick heads-up regarding your booking: due to exceptionally high demand on this weekend, we were unfortunately unable to secure skip-the-line tickets in time. Your tickets will therefore be purchased directly by our host on-site on the day. Please anticipate some waiting time, our host will be right there with you to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Think of it as the perfect opportunity to soak up the atmosphere before you step inside! You can for example explore the village of Giverny or relax in a coffee with some Viennoiseries... We'll do everything we can to make the most of your time and ensure this remains a truly memorable experience. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, we're here for you! - Nachricht am 26.04./Veranstalter:'Because we always secure tickets a week before to avoid financial loss due to customer cancellation. We feel sincerely sorry for you. You can cancel this tour to get an immediate refund. Regards' Ich verstehe nicht warum es ein Problem mit den Tickets gibt (13.12.2025 gebucht/22.03.bezahlt!!!?) Dieser Ort ist immer gut besucht besonders am 1.Mai, also keinerlei Überraschung!!!

It was excellent - far better than my expectations. But Viator should confirm immediately after the. Booking when and how the tickets would be sent as this was a worry and they should confirm the car and pickup arrangements at the designated hotel. Instead I got repeated messages right up to departure day asking me to state our pickup point even though I had confirmed this at the outset. Nevertheless a truly great trip.

We had the best time traveling with Yasser to Giverny! He is so friendly and knowledgeable! Answered all my questions (and I had a LOT of them!). We would definitely seek him out for future tours!

It is fantastic to stroll through the garden and admire the world-famous water lily pond. However, traffic jams occur due to the high number of visitors. Worth it.

The gardens planned and carried out by Monet were wonderful and blooming. There was a time when the house and the gardens were closed, but today who manages all the property is the Claude Monet Foundation, a non-profit organization that preserves the house and the gardens. The house and the gardens, where Monet lived and painted for 43 years, between 1883 and 1926. The gardens have been recognized as one of the Maisons des Illustres and a Remarquable Jardin, awarding their excellent qualities. The property was classified as a historical monument in 1976. I can say it was one of the most beautiful and inspiring gardens I have ever visited in my life.

Anas was very courteous and made great conversation, giving us clear instructions and answering all our questions on the driver to Giverney. A+!!!

Our trip was fantastic and we're so happy not to miss this opportunity to immerse ourselves into the beautiful world of Monet!

Great time. Our driver was excellent. Went out of his way to make our experience special. Very fortunate to have had him.
