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.

Awesome - The gardens were a unique place....very calming, serene and tranquil. The trip was great and gave us a couple of hours to also enjoy the Eiffel Tower before and after the bus from Paris.

Giverny - Love Giverny. Tour was nice. Would have enjoyed more time to sit in the gardens and relax, time for snacks and shopping, as you cannot do it all in the allotted time. Maybe you could make the tour an additional hour.

AM Tour Monet Gardens - This was a beautiful experience and I am so glad we had a guide to bring us to the house and gardens. Our Art Historian guide was very detailed with the information presented on the bus. This tour allows you to see the gardens and the house on your own but the guide is there to navigate in between. It was a busy day and you are definitely pushed through the house by the crowd. Don’t expect to be able to look at much in the house. The gift shop is great but I wish I left more time to get a quick lunch or coffee in the town.

Marvelous day at Giverny &added bonus! - Our 1/2 day tour of Giverny with Alexandra was a wonderful trip. Alexandra and the Bus Driver deftly managed the traffic complications that came from the upcoming Olympics and the heavy tourist season. She was very knowledgeable about Monet and the town of Giverny. She was very helpful to patrons, assisting with techology, giving Metro information in 3 lanuages. She & the driver got us to see the Arc De Triomphe when we couldn't get back to our original drop off point due to a traffic jam. She made sure e ery client was able to do their own tour of the Arc or could make connections back to their hotels. Can't recommend this tour & guide enough!

garden of Eden - the garden with its colorful flowers is a great place to visit. The water lilies seems as if I enter to Monet's pictures. The house gives us a glimpse of the modest way of living of the painter and its family

Great experience, but have to navigate through visitor hordes. - Lovely drive through the countryside and incredible experience to be at Monet's garden and house. The guide (Alex) kept a good balance between commentary and free time for the group. The only "down" part of the trip is the hordes of visitors at Giverny, so that the experience feels rushed.

Rushed - The stunning colours in the garden and house were mind blowing. I chatted to some lovely people on my tour. The problem was half a day was too short, we had 1hr 55 mins max to see the house, gardens, gift shop, use the facilities and wander around the laneways hereby. I rushed through the house and shop, no time for a moment to relax and admire the surroundings.’it 2 extra hours were added to the tour,, it would be perfect. I loved my visit but it was so short a time we were allowed there.
