Perfect timing with no crowds - First, the smaller group is the way to go. Second, ask for Florence to be your guide. She is the Boss of Paris and she is the HBIC. Love her so much. The experience is enough time for both locations, however I did go during off peak season. No excessive crowds at all. Food was very French and delicious. If you tend to eat heavy at lunch, be sure to bring or buy food at the else where.

Giverny and Versailles in a Day - This is a great trip. Our tour guide was excellent and kept us together throughout the trip. We drove through villages in France that most people never get to see. We arrived at Giverny and were awed by the beauty of the place. Although the season was almost gone, there were still plenty of flowers to see. After visiting first-class gift shop, we drove to lunch at an exquisite village restaurant. Next we drove back towards Paris to stop in Versailles and visit the impressive palace there. Finally we drove back to Paris with day well spent.

Giverny was more than I imagined! - Mati took great care of us logistically and was very engaging and interesting. Our bus driver Fred did an amazing job as well with both safety and acknowledging key sites along the way. Highly recommend.

Very good experience - Very good trip. Isabell was an outstanding guide, would have liked more time in Versailles gardens but someone in our group got lost and pushed everything back

DENIED is their favorite word - Left the hotel by private driver in time to be at location 30 minutes early. Traffic was horrible, so began texting number provided. No response. We arrived late. Tour was gone. Texted again to try to catch up with them or meet. Still no response. Went on to Versailles on our own. Saw one of their guides and asked if this was the group we had missed. He said no, and when I explained what happened he said I would get a refund or alternate day. They did not respond so I am out $550.30. Contacted Trip Advisor/Viator upon return to the States. They denied my refund request, claiming I had not attempted to contact them. I sent them screen shots of the texts and they denied THREE TIMES. Don't be foolish like me and think you would never be in this boat. I am never late. I left the hotel at 6:45 for an 8:15 departure and still didn't make it. Do yourself a favor and book with a company that will entertain refunds, or take the train and save a bunch of money!
