Tekemistä paikassa Giverny

I went because I was invited by relatives who are currently staying in Paris. Since I had visited the Orangerie and Orsay the day before, the experience was even more moving. I'm not very knowledgeable about paintings, so I don't think I would have gone out of my way to visit if I hadn't been invited, but it was absolutely the right decision to go. It was the most memorable place of this trip!

The same-day tickets were sold out, so I joined a tour! The tour was good, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if we had a bit more time. Also, since the tour moves quickly from one spot to the next, it's a bit difficult to take photos. However, it's reassuring and helpful to be able to get around easily!

The guided tour to Versailles and Monet’s House was well organized and enjoyable from start to finish. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting stories and historical details along the way. Versailles was absolutely stunning, while Monet’s House and gardens were peaceful and beautiful—especially for anyone who loves art and nature. The transportation and schedule made it easy to visit both places in one day without worrying about the logistics.

A wonderful, well organised trip. the time at each place was correct. the staff was extremely friendly and forthcoming. I loved every bit of it. since we were only a group of five, we had a very comfortable car well equipped with water bottles and long charging cables. The accompanying staff was very nice and had answers to all our questions.

Osallistuimme 6. syyskuuta tälle yhden päivän retkelle Van Goghin talolle, Monetin puutarhaan ja Versailles'n palatsiin. Tämä oli hieno pienryhmäkokemus, ja oppaamme oli erittäin ammattitaitoinen. Van Goghin viimeisessä leposijassa näimme kultaisten vehnäpeltojen huojuvan tuulessa. Lisäksi matkustajien ei tarvinnut jonottaa lippujen ostamista varten, vaan he pääsivät nopeasti sisään. Monetin puutarha oli erittäin kaunis, kukkia oli kaikkialla, ja japanilaisella sillalla oli kuvankaunis maisema. Lammikon lumpeet näyttivät odottavan kaunista kukintaansa. Versailles'n palatsista kerrottiin erittäin huolellisesti, ja saimme nähdä Ludvig XIV:n loistokkaan aikakauden.

Michael was an incredible guide! He knew what he was talking about and he was very funny and witty, I had the best time. Both places are beautiful and it was really good learning about Van Gogh and Monet. Definitely fell in love with Van Gogh and his work, especially after visiting Auvers-sur-Oise. Worth the trip for sure and would love to come back to take my son!

this is not a guided tour. we just had a driver that got us to and from the attractions

Osallistuimme mieheni kanssa päiväretkelle Givernyyn ja Versaillesiin. Sattumalta olimme ainoat osallistujat, joten saimme nauttia ylellisestä retkestä. Olimme hieman väsyneitä emmekä aina jaksaneet keskittyä englanninkieliseen selostukseen, mutta oppaamme Dario oli koko ajan rauhallinen ja selitti asioita kärsivällisesti. Haluaisimme pyytää Daria oppaaksemme myös seuraavalla Pariisin-matkallamme. Hän ajoi myös erittäin taitavasti. Kiitos paljon.
