Inspirational Giverny & Auvers-sur-Oise Day Tour! - Ollie led my husband’s and my fantastic tour to visit Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny, and to Auvers-sur-Oise… the town where van Gogh lived in 1890, painting and drawing over 80 works of art in two months before his death. The day was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Even late October, the gardens were blooming. I drew the famous boats, an honor and inspiration. How moving to stand in the room where van Gogh died, and visit his grave next to his beloved brother’s, Theo. Ollie was knowledgeable and passionate about the artists and our fellow travelers were all-in. We highly recommend this tour!

Impressionist Dream - A lovely full day seeing top sights for two great artists. The small group size felt cozy and allowed a good mix of group and individual activity time. Even on a misty October morning Giverny shines.

Monet and Van Gogh! - This was one of my favorite things we did on our trip to France. It's a perfect pairing--Monet's Giverny and Van Gogh's Auvers-sur-Oise. The gardens were beautiful in October, if a bit crowded. Auvers was definitely off-the-beaten path and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to see it--it was the highlight of the day for me. Our guide, Will, was brilliant--kind, personable, and knowledgeable about Monet and Van Gogh.
