I liked that the tour guide let us wonder some on our own after giving us the history of everything. The gardens are beautiful!
Thank you for the review. See you next time in France. Wish you well
Great experience. Picked up from our place, and dropped off safely. Wonderful way to spend the day in Giverny.
Thank you very much. See you next time!
Our tour guide Doru was absolutely amazing! He pointed out many sights around Paris as we drove to Giverny. It was like driving with our own personal historian. I would highly recommend any tour with Doru! He guided us through Giverny and gave us time to explore and have lunch in the village! It was a perfect day! Stress free!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was a real pleasure showing you the beauty of Giverny and sharing the history behind Monet's life and work. I'm especially happy to hear that the day felt relaxed and personal—that's exactly the experience I always hope to create. I truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in France! Safe travels! 🇫🇷😊
It’s busy, but beautiful. It’s peaceful and immersive. If you love Monet, and art, and Impressionists, this is for you.
thank you very much for the review
Our guide, Doru, made our day just perfect. For one, I always worry about getting car sick on these day tours in a car. He is the best driver I’ve ever experienced - even through all the Paris traffic. He knew a lot of history to share with us along the way and it was very comfortable being with him for the day. He took great care of us! I would highly recommend! Worth the extra money to avoid being in a group that navigates slower.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! It means a lot to know that you enjoyed both the journey and the time we spent in Giverny. I'm especially happy that you appreciated the relaxed pace, the historical insights along the way, and the comfort of traveling privately. Thank you for your recommendation—I wish you many more wonderful travels, and I hope our paths cross again someday in France! Best wishes, Doru
Doru was absolutely wonderful! We ended up being the only ones, and we so enjoyed the entire day. His knowledge is unmatched, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the gardens, home, and grab some lunch. Loved Giverny. 🩵
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you in Giverny. I'm delighted that having a private experience made your visit even more enjoyable and gave you plenty of time to explore Monet's house and gardens at a relaxed pace. Thank you for your kind words, and I hope to welcome you back to France for another memorable day trip in the future. Best regards, Doru
Our guide, Duro, arrived early, had clearly done his research, shared many fun facts, and could not have been more accommodating. The extensive, breathtaking gardens were in full, glorious bloom with waterlilies popping up under the classic Monet bridge. Monet’s home was filled with his artwork and brightly decorated furniture and rooms. A true joy to check this off the bucket list.
Thank you so much, Jean, for your kind words! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you in Giverny. I’m delighted that you enjoyed Monet’s beautiful gardens at their peak bloom and that the experience met your expectations. Thank you for mentioning the guiding and storytelling aspects of the tour. I always try to make the journey as enjoyable as the destination itself. Wishing you many more wonderful travels, and I hope to welcome you back to France someday! Best regards, Doru
Doru was a fantastic guide he was extremely knowledgeable about the history not only of the Giverny and Monet, but the history of Pairs. Also a really lovely person and very interesting to talk to. Doru helped us with activities for the rest of our stay, which was very generous. I would highly recommend this company one of the best we have had on this trip.
Thank you so much for your beautiful review and kind words! Sharing history, stories and special places with travelers like you is exactly why I love doing these tours. I’m very happy you enjoyed the experience and that I could help make your stay in France memorable 😊 Hope to see you again someday! Warm regards, Doru
Our driver and guide, Doru, texted us the day prior to the tour date to confirm our pickup place and time. He arrived a few minutes early so we were on our way quickly, to Giverny about 1.5 hours from Paris. Doru was a superb and friendly guide who is extremely knowledgeable and insightful in many topics including both French and world history, and of course the world of the Impresssionists. Doru was also accompanied by Stella, a photographer, and between our conversations with both, we were immersed in glimpses of life in France. The Monet House & Garden visit at Giverny was a wonderful experience, especially at the garden walk in full bloom. With the house tour, you could imagine Monet and his family living a simpler life and enjoying the tranquility of the countryside. There were a number of restaurants along Rue Claude Monet to have a leisurely lunch. While it was a bit busy since our tour day was May 1, a national holiday, our overall experience was highly informative and memorable!
Thank you so much for this beautiful and thoughtful review! It was truly a pleasure sharing Giverny, Monet’s world and a little piece of France with you. Stella and I are very happy you enjoyed both the visit and the conversations during the journey 😊 Reviews like yours mean a lot to small local tour companies like ours and we are deeply grateful for your kind words. We hope to welcome you again in France someday! Warm regards, Doru
Our guide Doru was very knowledgeable and provided a very nice tour. The gardens were spectacular and we enjoyed the quaint village of Giverny. I would recommend this tour.
