Majesty & Masterpiece: Versailles & Monet's Giverny Day Trip
No address available
Think of France and what comes to mind? Chances are the Palace of Versailles and the Impressionists are up there in your top ten. However fleeting your visit, you do have time to experience a bit of both, thanks to our day trip from Paris. Ever wanted to step into one of Monet’s paintings? Your wish is our command! Wander through the lush gardens of the artist’s residence, inspiration for his Nympheas, among others. After lunch, head to Versailles, royal pad to three King Louis. From the moment you approach this imposing Palace, we dare you not to gasp at its lavish splendor. In fact, you’ll probably keep your mouth open for the rest of your visit!

Our guide was invaluable and informative. The Monet house/garden was really nice. Having lunch was nice to have given this was a full day tour.

Tour guide was not attentive. We were left behind at the rest rooms and only found them by the bus, missing the whole tour.

We loved Giverny and Monet’s gardens and house. Best part of the trip for sure. So beautiful. Versailles was so so. So crowded. Hard to stay with group. Beautiful palace but not the trip’s highlight.

Great day, if you love Monet...this tour is a must. Lunch was great, the tour of Versailles was also good, wear comfortable shoes.

Very well organised tour. Amelia was a fantastic guide, so pleasant, efficient and knowledgeable. Bus was very comfortable. Altogether a great day.

Well organized considering the crowds and difficult navigation. Well informed guide and bus driver was superb. Easy to spend one day to do both sites. Recommend

My husband & I did this same tour with you two years ago. This year it seems you added an audio guided tour with two options. One is with a guide and the other is without a guide. I didn’t realize this and was not expecting to have no guide. When we got to Versailles we only had two hours. Since we were not with a guide, we had to stand on the general admission line. First of all, we lost over a half hour of our time on this line and second, I don’t understand since we booked with a group why we were separated!! I’ve taken many tours with you but I will never book another, nor recommend you moving forward. I feel we certainly did not get our monies worth.
