Visita Guiada à Casa e aos Jardins de Claude Monet

Loved our tour to Monets Gardens. Our guide Crystal was incredible, lots of interesting information and great sense of humour. The meeting point was easy to find, directions were seamless. We joined our group and made our way to the bus which was a large luxury coach with incredibly comfy seats for the 90 minute drive from Paris to Giverny. On arrival we were given clear meeting points and tips on route options around the gardens. Seeing the water lilies in real life was a pinch me moment. There were so many beautiful flowers on the walk from the garden to the house and we had the perfect amount of time to take them all in before boarding onto the bus back to Paris.

I booked this tour because it seemed like it would take a long time to get from central Paris to Giverny. The bus was comfortable, and I enjoyed various views from inside. We were able to enter Monet's house and garden without waiting, and even a half-day tour was enough to fully enjoy it. I don't understand English, so I couldn't understand the guide's explanations, but they were very kind and I was happy with their consideration. I wasn't sure where the Japanese audio guide was, but it was a guide I could listen to on my smartphone, so it was good that I could listen to it later. It was also very nice that I was put in the same group as other Japanese people, leading to wonderful encounters.

ไม่ค่อยรู้ภาษาฝรั่งเศสเท่าไหร่ เรากังวลที่จะเดินทางออกนอกเมืองใหญ่ๆ แต่โค้ชและไกด์ทัวร์ทำให้ทุกอย่างง่ายมาก! เราจองทัวร์พร้อมไกด์ แต่ก็สามารถไปทำอะไรเองได้ และแยกตัวออกจากกลุ่มเป็นครั้งคราว ครึ่งวันก็เพียงพอแล้ว และอาจจะข้ามบ้านไปก็ได้ เพียงเพราะอากาศร้อนและคนเยอะมาก! โดยรวมแล้วสวนสวยงามมาก 10/10

I went because I was invited by a relative who is currently staying in Paris. Since I had visited the Orangerie and Orsay the day before, I was even more deeply moved. I'm not very knowledgeable about paintings, so I probably wouldn't 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!

Monet's garden is truly beautiful, with flowers and plants everywhere. As it was autumn, some flowers had already withered, but this did not diminish its charm. The journey takes about 1.5 hours, allowing you to admire the bustling city of Paris and the rustic simplicity of the Giverny countryside, both offering beautiful scenery. Five-star praise goes to the tour guide; he spoke fluent English, was engaging without being annoying, and even pointed out attractions on the way back to Paris. However, the price of this tour package is a bit too high, as the garden entrance fee is only 10 euros, making it not very cost-effective.

El punto de recogida no es difícil de encontrar. El autobús sale 10 minutos tarde. Había 17 personas en mi grupo (día de semana). El autobús estaba bien, pero sería mucho mejor si incluyera wifi y agua embotellada (hacía mucho calor en verano en el lugar). Se tarda 1,5 horas en cada trayecto y 2 horas en el lugar de Monet, lo cual creo que es suficiente ya que no es muy grande. Si desea información detallada sobre el lugar, puede reservar la visita guiada, pero creo que la visita autoguiada es preferible si desea más tiempo para pasear y tomar fotografías. Obtendrá una audioguía escaneando un código QR incluso si reserva la visita autoguiada, así que está bien. La guía, Alexandra, fue muy útil. Dio información útil incluso si ibas por tu cuenta. Recomiendo caminar primero al jardín del estanque, ya que no hay mucho que ver, y luego caminar a la zona de la casa, que es lo más destacado. Recomendado para quienes tienen un día libre en París.

Our guide, Auther, provided a comprehensive background on the village of Giverny and Monet's Garden, essentially a guided tour on the bus. After disembarking and confirming the meeting point, we were free to explore the garden at our own pace. On the return journey to central Paris, he thoughtfully pointed out scenic spots along the way and shared recommendations for both highly-rated and less-recommended restaurants near our drop-off location, which was incredibly helpful.

This is great for people who love Paris and want to try a short trip to the countryside. This tour is perfect. The guide is lovely. Highly recommended!

Actually, our package doesn't include a guide, but the guide who was there for a certain group was helpful.

Very good value. Not far from Paris, the meeting point is easy to find, and the place is very beautiful.
