Giverny, Monet's Gardens, and Versailles Tour from Paris

The tour is a must for first timers in Paris. Monet’s house, garden and water lily pond are most beautiful. Too bad traffic leaving Paris was so bad we hardly have any time to look at the lily pond or the gift shop. Lunch included was average, if you like chicken breast, apple pie was ok, ice cream missing, appetizer fish loaf was ok. Palace of Versailles is magnificent. Too bad it was pouring as we finished the inside tour and moving out to the beautiful garden. We have to come back sometime again. Tour guide Julian and driver were very good. The double decker coach is clean and comfortable.

Good pace, delicious and filling lunch. The concise tour of Versailles, was great, too, given the size of the palace. Guide could be friendlier and more personable.

The only thing that could have improved the tour was to go to Giverny in the afternoon instead of the morning…. it was nice and sunny in the afternoon while we were inside the palace of Versailles.

The garden of Monet's former residence is simple and elegant, and the garden is magnificent and beautiful! There are many kinds of flowers, and the unique design of the lotus pond and garden makes people linger and forget to return.

our guide Amelie got a great sense of humour & knowledgable. the lunch was not great. chicken was dry. For a hotel trying to use this tour as a marketing tool, it sure fails.

The tour guide explained very seriously, the scenic spots are great, but the lunch is really good, fish mousse + chicken breast + pineapple pie, I feel that I am not full and the taste is ordinary, mainly because I gave a can of red wine and a can of white wine. A glass of fruit wine, you can try it if you like to drink

The garden is quite beautiful and full of various flowers. The tour guide is patient and kind. Although the Palace of Versailles is a little rushed, it is still highly recommended.

Not what we booked; instead of an intimate small group tour, we were herded on a bus of 60 comprising 3 different groups (2 groups under 2 guides, one group only with audio guides) on the same itinerary. Each place was rushed and impersonal, our guide was not the best at holding attention but she tried her best. The lunch was not bad and the sights were lovely (see photos from Monet’s garden, lunch and Versailles grounds) but the experience in totality was still disappointing. Bear in mind we were a group of 2A and 2C and were looking for a much freer and personal experience than what we actually got.

1. There is very little time to visit (the gardens of the Palace of Versailles are only given for 5 minutes 🙄) 2. There are only 3 dishes for lunch, which is ordinary 3. There is also very little time to buy souvenirs. will be too late to get on the bus

Both places are worth visiting. A 10-hour trip can basically only be arranged this way. If you want to spend more time looking at each point in detail, it is best to visit them separately. Price is expensive
