The guided visit of Monet’s gardens in Giverny lasts approximately 30 minutes with a guide. The visit of Monet’s house is self-guided by the guests, without a guide, as guides are not allowed to accompany groups inside the house. Due to the very limited space inside the house, guests visit it individually at their own pace.

Pickup Locations & Times
ATTENTION: (*) We would like to inform you that, due to particularly difficult traffic conditions in Paris, we have had to limit our pickup zones in order to ensure a high-quality service for our clients. Traffic congestion and circulation restrictions make travel in certain parts of the city very complex and unpredictable. Therefore, we currently provide pickup and drop-off services only in the western districts of Paris, namely the 1st, 6th, 7th, 8th, 15th, and 16th arrondissements, as well as in the western areas of the 2nd, 5th, 14th, and 17th arrondissements. This decision allows us to adhere to our scheduled times and minimize any inconvenience for our clients. However, for groups of more than 5 people, we do offer pickup and drop-off services throughout all the districts of Paris. We appreciate your understanding and kindly ask you to check your email regularly, as we will send a confirmation of your final pickup time 1 to 2 days before your visit.

One of the best tours I’ve ever been on! Nafi was patient and extremely knowledgeable.. I would hire her for other tours as well if I could.. and we loved Fred! He knew the entire Giverny area and its history
With the exception of having to walk to our pick up location, this was a phenomenal experience. Our small group of five were provided private, personalized service with direct access to our incredibly knowledgeable tour guide, Miriam. The exclusivity is well worth the extra cost.
This was the perfect combination doing Versailles and giverny in the same day. With a pickup from your hotel and a return back it is a seamless transition from location to location
Nadi was a wonderful guide. She was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We were delighted to have her for our guide at Versailles and greeter at Giverny. She has a delightful way of asking questions and explaining things in a playful way. Hope you get her for your guide.
Being in a small group tour was the perfect way to see both. Once you see the line for the non-group entrance, you will be so very glad you are in a group.
Our driver and our guide at Versailles were excellent. I give both of them 5 stars. Our guide for Monet’s garden was useless: he gave little information and seemed anxious to dump us at the end of the garden tour (we knew that he would not be guiding us in the Monet house). The garden tour guide is the reason that this excursion received only 4 stars instead of 5.
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you were very satisfied with both your driver and your guide at Versailles, and we truly appreciate your 5-star comments about them. We are sorry to read that you were disappointed with the guided visit of Monet’s garden. We would, however, like to clarify that the guided portion in Monet’s garden is scheduled for approximately 30 minutes. Regarding Monet’s house, guides are not permitted to conduct guided tours inside, as the space is very small and was originally Monet’s private home, not a museum designed for guided group visits. To provide additional context and information, we also made a video guide available to guests during the journey from Versailles to Giverny. We regret that this part of the experience did not fully meet your expectations, and we sincerely thank you for your comments, which help us continue improving our excursions. Kind regards, The Team
This was a wonderful way to spend the day, thank you to both our guides and driver. The tour of Versailles was wonderful, our guide was very knowledgeable and took time to let us see everything at our own pace. The grounds are extensive and the only drawback was there was little time to see it all ;) Monets gardens were just beautiful and it is self directed so you can take as long as you like to meander through. Thank you to the coordinator for assistance with pickup! You were very helpful and it was much appreciated!
The tour to Versailles and Giverny was awesome! The tour guides and the drivers were amazing. Fred, the driver to Giverny was outstanding. We would recommend this combined tour.
The pickup and travel experience were smooth, the van comfortable, and our drivers were friendly, informative, and helpful, plus it was good to see something outside of the central ring of arrondissements where we spent most of our time. Versailles was crowded, by our guide Elise did a great job of keeping our small group together and out of the crush of humanity. Most importantly, her presentation added much depth and context to what we were seeing. I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience much more than I would have by just touring independently. She was a delight. The trip to Giverny was unguided, but the staff person who greeted us there and saw that we got back to our car at the end of the day was kind, helpful, and informative. My friends and I enjoyed the experience.
Wonderful - stunning - great trip - tour guide was funny and informative - loved the day !! Would recommend .
