Highly recommend!

A wonderful day with Victor of Blue fox travel ! Would highly recommend. It was our first time in Paris and our tour day was the same day as the last day of the Tour de France in Paris sooooo getting back to our apartment was a bit of a challenge but our guide managed to work out a seemless adventure for us on the return and all went smoothly as he went above and beyond !!

An ambitious but gratifying double-dip day

Loved this visit! The timing was especially great at Giverny since we departed Paris early enough to join the first available queue time at the gardens. I was astonished how empty it was when we first got started! Our guide Marceau was also a great sport about the hot weather and made sure to take good care of our group with great parking spots, umbrellas, etc. Be prepared for a zoo at Versailles, but this isn't the company's fault at all. Would absolutely recommend this tour to others!

Karim - excellent ambassador to Giverny & Versailles

Our guide Karim was exemplary. He deftly navigated lines and entry times on behalf of our group while simultaneously providing excellent commentary on the history of Monet's home and garden as well as the Palais of Versailles. No small feat on an extremely hot early July day with a group that included our family of four (jncluding two teenagers) and another American family of three which included two elementary-school age children. Karim was sensitive to everyone's differing levels of knowledge and energy and brought a welcome wry sense of French humor to the proceedings. Highly recommended.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear that Karim made your day so enjoyable with his knowledge, organization, and enthusiasm. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We hope to welcome you back on another tour soon! - Alice

Highly recommended, great day

Fantastic trip, a very long day but that is kind of the point so you can fit in both places in 1 day. I felt there was more than enough time seeing Giverny and Money's garden and house and also Versailles. We had a lunch stop in between. Out guide was lovely and helpful and very knowledgeable and accommodating. Gave us umbrellas for walking in the hot sun and answered all our questions. Tour stuck to time and all included stops and tickets were part of the tour. Nice air conditioned van ride both ways and convenient pick up and drop-off points. Highly recommend.

Efficient way to see both

Wonderful guide Marceau who drove us from the meeting point in Paris in a comfortable, clean van to the venues. This trip includes transportation and entry tickets but you are on your own within the spaces. That’s fine at Giverny as it is all about the gardens and at Versailles you can get an audio tour if you’d like. Unfortunately the audio tour is not great. Marceau was really helpful pointing out lunch spots at Versailles, giving us a nice brief history lesson between the palace and garden tour. I The whole tour was well explained and efficient. Would be a 5 if we liked Versailles more.

Operator response

Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the comfortable transport and found Marceau helpful and informative throughout the day. We appreciate your feedback about the audio guide at Versailles and will keep it in mind. We hope to welcome you again for another tour in the future! - Alice

Best decision ever!

It was perfect! The number of persons on the tour and transportation was comfortable. Our guide was a transplanted American and was easy to understand, yet very knowledgeable about the tour aspects as well as Parisian living. He made it fun and interesting. He was very thoughtful. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to make the most of the day visiting Paris to see Versailles and Monet historical sites. It was a trip of a lifetime!
