Traveler reviews
Very enjoyable experience
Our private half day tour was excellent. Our driver/Guide was informative and personable. By going in the morning we missed the huge crowds and half a day was just the right amount of time. The private tour is expensive but if you can afford the splurge it is worth it. You get picked up at your hotel and everything is convenient and easy. Recommended.
5 star 1/2 day private tour from Paris to Giverny
Michelle was a fantastic guide. Extremely knowledgeable and amazing with our two young kids. We wish we would have had her for a tour guide for every trip we took. Thank you for a great day.
Not a Good Company
Our trip was canceled last minute because they couldn’t find us a driver that didn’t have Covid supposedly. And they still charged my credit card $850. I am now having to waste my time on the phone trying to prove why we didn’t go on the trip to get refunded.
Lovely escorted half-day tour to Giverny
We booked this tour online before we left the U.S. and weren't sure what to expect, so we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the office to find we were the only people on the tour! Isabelle was our driver/guide, excellent in every way. We climbed into a nice air-conditioned van and were off. En route she provided some commentary—the drive took about an hour. Once off the highway she navigated along some country lanes and, voilà, we were at Monet’s famed house and gardens. She got our tickets and escorted us inside, where she showed us around the large and impressive water-lily gardens. She then left us alone for about 1.75 hours to explore on our own. The gorgeous gardens are vast and lush, planted with seemingly endless varieties of flowers and trees. It was enchanting and we took our time wandering the paths around the iconic pond, admiring many reflections and vistas. Inside the house we passed through the atelier, bedrooms, hallways, dining room, and kitchen, decorated with period furnishings and reproductions of Monet’s paintings, plus Japanese prints by Hiroshige, Hokusai, etc. We finally wound up in the gigantic gift shop, which formerly was the master’s studio, illustrating the huge amount of space needed to paint the large-scale water-lily panels of his late career. Isabelle kindly drove us back to a Paris taxi stand so we didn't have to return to the office. This tour was well worth every cent, and we sincerely thank Isabelle and Paris Trip.
