Fantastic - We had a great time in both places. Guide was informative. It rained but it didn’t stop us. Lunch was delicious. It was very crowded at the palace which cut down on garden time and would have liked to see more.

Amazing art work and gardens - We lovd the Giverny Monet house and gardens. Even though it is late September the gardens were still beautifully in bloom and we were wowed by the house and the almost endless amount of artwork. The only downside were the crowds. Perhaps going on a Saturday was partially responsible but possibly they should limit the number of tickets they sell.

Guide Claire was great. ... - Guide Claire was great. Recommend that when you book with Viator the company indicates name of company doing tour. No indication that the company that conducted the tour was Viator.

A very French Outing - This full day was busy but well planned. Monet house/gardens were enchanting at the end of summer, a tad overcrowded but otherwise I enjoyed it. I loved the lunch and the break so very French and a nice touch to a long day. The palace was what I expected big, and like a time capsule, the gardens a tour in themselves. I like we were given time to wander.

Do separately not combined, not enough time - Giverney Claude Monet house and country side was beautiful. Versailles was beautiful as well. Ferad our driver was amazing. But, I was disappointed at both locations because we didn’t have enough time to explore the gardens after the guide finished. Didn’t have enough time to use the restroom.

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!
