Royal Grandeur & Impressionist Dreams: Versailles & Giverny

What a fantastic day! Tim was a great guide on our trip. We got a great historical overview prior to entering each location. Monet’s gardens were everything I hoped for! I can see why his paintings are so beautiful-what great inspiration! Versailles was fascinating but so massive it was hard to take everything in. Loved seeing the Hall of Mirrors where the Treaty of Versailles was signed and I especially loved our visit to the Petite Trianon where Marie Antoinette made her home. Oh, and let’s not forget the spectacular gardens at Versailles. All in all, a lovely day!

Our guide, Marceau, was excellent! The trip and pacing between Versailles and Giverney worked out perfectly with a nice relaxing lunch break.

Wonderful day out of the city. Guide gave us just enough history and information without overwhelming us and let us wander on our own when needed.

Mariè was awesome! Great tour guide that used visual guides that she had prepared to explain the history of everything. You starts in Giverny and see the grave of Monet for a minute and walk through the village which is amazing. Then you go to the pond/garden and the house for about 1.5 hrs. More than enough time. She then drove us to Versailles and talk more in depth of what we had already seen and what she was taking us to. There isnt enough time on any tour to see all of Versailles. For sure a two day event. This trip does everything you need it too and gives you the time to explore more ir less depending on your speed and still gives you a guide experience to ask questions later. Loved this.

We had a fabulous day! Marius was a marvellous guide, so knowledgeable and had a real passion for his job, we really enjoyed his information and sense of humour! We were lucky that we 3 were the only ones on our trip but I’m sure it would be just as great with the full vehicle. Marius provided us with big umbrellas when it unfortunately rained at Versailles and he ensured we still had a great time and saw lots. Thanks Marius, we loved our day 😀

Michel was a great guide. He is knowledgeable and entertaining. Giverny is exquisite and Versailles is awesome. The whole day was absolutely perfect.

Great places but tour guide was not clear on itinerary or meeting places. I almost got stranded in Versailles , we needed his cell phone number. I was quite stressed. A little too casual for my taste.

Tour Organization: The tour was perfectly organized from start to finish. Booking was easy, and all pre-departure details—such as meeting points, timings, and logistics—were clear and accurate. The itinerary ran smoothly and right on schedule, with reliable communication throughout the process. Guide: Our guide, Lucie, was truly outstanding. She combined deep knowledge of history, art, and culture with a warm, engaging manner that made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Beyond her guiding skills, Lucie showed remarkable kindness and professionalism—after learning that my daughter had left her iPad in the company car the day before, she personally contacted the office several times, located the item, and even collected and delivered it back to us herself. This was far beyond her duty and made a lasting impression. Transportation: The vehicle was clean, safe, and very comfortable for the day’s journey. Driving was punctual and smooth, and seating was fairly arranged, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Sightseeing: Both Versailles and Giverny were spectacular choices. The timing at each stop was well balanced, allowing enough time to enjoy the palace and gardens without feeling hurried. The tour followed its description precisely, with excellent coordination at every stage. Group Experience: The group size was ideal—small enough to move efficiently and still feel personal. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, thanks to Lucie’s calm and well-organized approach. Value: The experience absolutely matched the price paid. It combined comfort, insight, and thoughtful service in equal measure. Highly recommended—especially with Lucie as the guide. Her professionalism and genuine care elevated the entire day, making it one of the most enjoyable tours we’ve had. ⭐ 5 / 5

Michel was a thoroughly entertaining host. His knowledge of Monet's house and Versaille was exceptional. We were a small group, and so this gave us some flexibility with what we could do at Versailles

Anthony made visiting the Louvre a great experience. His knowledge and passion came across in every room we entered. Instead of just walking around aimlessly, he made sure to point out some remarkable paintings, statues, and their history and stories. We have visited the Louvre before but were so glad we did with a tour guide this time and even better-got paired with Anthony who is simply amazing! And he gave us other information about the city like other things to do and places to try!
