Wonderful Day Well Spent - Giverny was as beautiful and other-worldly as I always imagined. Versailles was as WOW as can be. Our guides knowledge and ability to quickly teach was wonderful. He overcame problems with the speaker system we'll. He can move through crowds like a fish through water, though, and keeping up in the crowd was a challenge.

Raining but wonderful anyway - Garden, home &palace were very enjoyable! Dario was a great guide and driver. We could have used a little longer over lunch. Felt a bit rushed.

Perfect day - Small tour, great guide. Nicholas was very informative and on time. Instructions were clear and we had free time in both Giverny and Versailles. Lunch was good and meeting new friends a plus. Patti and Randy

A perfect day - Our driver and guide, Oliver, was a gem. We were fortunate to be a group of only three. Oliver's driving was reassuring, his commentary and guidance were very professional. Our lunch venue was perfect, as was the food and wine. A perfectly managed day of amazing experiences.

Everything we wanted out of a day trip - Our day trip was great. The tour company had good communication leading up to the day of the trip and the meeting spot was easy to find. We left on time, and our guide Nic was wonderful. Everything was very well organized. We had 4 people in our group, so it did not feel crowded and we rode to Giverny and Versailles in a van. We had plenty of time at each location, and at Versailles we had headsets to allow us to hear the guide well. The lunch break was also lovely. The only thing that would have been nice was if they water were available in the van as it was a warm day, but that is a small thing. Overall highly recommend and really happy with the trip!

A wonderful day out - We had a lovely time at both Giverny and Versailles. We were blown away by the amazing flower gardens at Giverny. We were there in June, it was simply magical. We had a lovely lunch at a picturesque spot along the way, and spent the second half of the day at Versailles. I can understand why it’s a half day tour, coming from Newport RI I think I expected it to be more furnished as the Newport mansions are, but the paintings and art were breathtaking. The gardens were lovely, the time we had there was perfect, our guide was funny and knowledgeable.

Best Tour in Paris!!! - This was quite possibly the best European tour I’ve ever been on! My tour guide was so knowledgeable and considerate. You can tell he’s been giving this tour for a while because he had so many great tips for us. He’s the best!

An enjoyable way to spend a day - My wife and I enjoyed this tour. Comfortable transportation and a small group of 8 people. The attractions were enjoyable and our guide and driver were friendly and very knowledgeable. The lunch at a small restaurant in the country was very nice and gave us a chance to meet our fellow travelers. The one thing I didn’t think made sense was our guide gave us a preliminary tour of the sites, we were given personal time to walk around. At first this seemed like a good idea, but having a guide full time to offer more information would have been better in my opinion. Still, overall, a good experience.

Great day - Marcella was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. I wish we weren’t so rushed in the palace, could have spent another hour and a little less time at Monet house.

Okay tour but not if you want to really explore Versailles - It was nice to have a tour where we were able to see both Giverny's House and Versailles in the same day. However there really wasn't enough time allotted in Versailles given the enormity of the place, gardens, and fountains, which are beautiful but we barely had opportunity to explore. Instead of spending 1.5 hours on a tour provided lunch the time would better have been spent in Versailles.
