Additional Information

Are you a fan of nature and Impressionist art? If so, keep reading! We are offering a half-day excursion to the village of Giverny, a place that was adored by Monet and his fellow Impressionists during the 19th Century. Following a brief trip of one-and-a-half hours from Paris, you’ll arrive at this charming village in Normandy. Together, we’ll visit Monet’s beautiful home and fascinating gardens. Accompanied by an art historian guide, you’ll tour the flower gardens that inspired Monet, walk along the famous water lily pond depicted in the ‘Water Lilies’ series, and cross the well-known Japanese bridge featured repeatedly in his paintings. Lastly, we’ll take you inside Monet’s home which has beautifully withstood the test of time.

  • Excellent souvenir shop with a wide range of reproductions of Monet’s paintings, crockery, table sets (dominant in Monet’s favourite blue and yellow colours) and even a range of flower seeds.
  • The collection of Japanese engravings inside Monet’s home is one of the most important in the world.
  • Please note that during the Olympic Games, and ONLY from July 19th to September 8th 2024, your tour will have a different meeting point. Please check the redemption instructions on your voucher for more information

Guide,Alex, was great and... - Guide,Alex, was great and able to keep a group of 30 together. The gardens were beautiful but unable to enjoy the peacefulness because the crowds were so large and paths so crowded.

Slice of heaven on earth - Such a wonderful experience! Our guide Alexandria brought the memory of Claude Monet alive along our travels to and within the gardens and home of the estate. Photos do not truly share the beauty of this little slice of heaven but will do for now. Well worth the 1.5 hour bus ride and highly recommend this trip b

Lovely, but very crowded - The gardens were beautiful, but the crowds were massive. You could barely walk through the paths to enjoy the area. Our group was much too large with 38 people and we could not catch up with the guide once we entered the gardens. We we ended up exploring on our own. The guide was lovely, but the size of the group was unmanageable.

Consider using your time differently - The gardens are lovely. The tour guide tried her best but there were too many people assigned to the tour (38) and the head set sounds were unintelligible. The gardens were extremely overground with people. The bus ride was comfortable but the bus restrooms were closed apparently since covid times.

Giverny: Blink and you missed it - Giverny - Monet's house and garden - was absolutely wonderful. The guided half day trip was not. Significantly more time is needed simply to enjoy the house and garden, let alone the village of Giverny. It would also be nice if options had been apparent to us beforehand, e.g., taking a morning bus out and returning on the evening one.

Disappointing - The setting was lively. The guide was very likeable but spoke too fast and too much. It was difficult to understand her Kudos to our driver who was extremely patient in a very long traffic jam at the end of the day

5 hours in a bus (not advertised, and not because of traffic). Very misleading in the time spent in transit. - Alex was wonderful. Extremely misleading. Says little over an hour one way by bus, impossible. More time spent I. Transit than at the gardens. Waste of money.

not as adverstised - Our bus left over an hour late resulting in a very rushed tour which did not provide the itinerary promised and no time to visit Givernay at all.
