Giverny and Versaille with a TravelScoot - This was a return trip to Giverny and Versailles - but it had been many years and we enjoyed having our son and his wife with us to experience it too. My husband's mobility is compromised this year so we had a TravelScoot with us for him to get around. We were delighted how the guide could get us through Versailles (with some behind the scenes elevators). Giverny was harder (gravel roads, etc.), but found a lovely place to stop and get a quick bite at the end of the tour time.

Worth the money - Nice trip. Good tour guide. A bit disorganized with rough start. The bus picked up extra guests and they moved our stuff for absolutely no reason. Parts were rushed. Meal was just ok.

Excellent trip - Everything went very smoothly! Madame Marie-Amelia was so patient and informative- even with an infant in the group. Would definitely recommend this excursion.

A lovely day in the countryside! - This was a great day experiencing the French countryside and Versailles. Our tour guide was fine. She seemed knowledgeable but there was a lot of static on the the transmitter that made it very hard to hear her and she often seemed in a hurry to finish and move on. Giverny and the lunch stop were beautiful and incredibly enjoyable. Versaille castle was super crowded and, although beautiful the experience was definitely diminished by all the people and the need to be on guard all the time. The gardens outside were incredible and we wished we had more time to explore them. Overall a really good experience!

This Is a Very Good Day Expedition! - This is a very good day expedition! I touted itself as a "small group" (less than 8), but clearly several "small groups" were combined, as there were more like 20-25 people. But, the adventure itself is very well organized and delightful. Giverny is simply beautiful! It is pretty far from Paris, but worth the bus ride. And Versailles is a crowded "must-see," made more enjoyable with the skip-the-line group advantage. I must say that my favorite part of the day was the lunch stop at an excellent restaurant in Normandy, which included great food and wine. This trip is pricey, but well worth it, even with a bit bigger group than advertised.

Nope - Lunch with friends was the most enjoyable. There were too many people at Giverny and Versailles. Au revoir.

Could have been wonderful….alas - Giverny is so worth a visit —simply beautiful. The guide was knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the poor organization of the company including not providing the small group promised of 1-15 but rather well over 20 people, a late start to day, no working air conditioning on bus(uncomfortably warm) overshadowed what could have been a great day. Versailles is nice but was extremely crowded and we only had 1 1/2 hours total to see palace and gardens since we arrived late. Lunch was nice- food was ok—wine was not spectacular—wish we would have been outside on patio as it was a nice day. Instead we were in a smallish room.

Let me out - Although the sites and garden are beautiful, the crowds were too much! The traffic did not help with the situation.

Terrible Experience. NOT small group and overpriced - This is by far the worst tour we have taken while in Europe. Although it is advertised as a small group tour, the first thing they do when you enter the minibus is give you headphones so you can hear the guide. We started with 13 people going to Giverny which was already pushing my definition of small. However, when we arrived to Versailles, another group was combined with ours, resulting in a total fo 26 people. Next, our guide was terrible. She had such a thick accent that I could barely understand her. I got so tired of straining to understand her that I gave up listening. Plus, she zoomed through Versailles such that we were barely able to take anything in. The price for this experience is way too high for what you receive. I would strongly advise booking with a different company

This tour was advertised... - This tour was advertised as a small group of 1-8 people. Fine pint said no more than 15 people… This was a regular tour bus with 34 people onboard for the entire tour. We paid nearly €300 per person for a SMALL group experience. We could have paid far less by picking the regular option and we would have saved money and experienced the same. Bait and switch.
