Like nature? Love Impressionism? Read on! Let us whisk you away on a half-day trip to the village of Giverny where Monet and other Impressionists set up home in the 19th Century. After a short one-and-a-half-hour ride from Paris, you’ll find yourself in this quaint little village in Normandy, where you’ll visit Monet’s exquisite house and gardens. Your art historian guide will animate your tour around the flowerbeds that proved a source of inspiration for Monet, past the water lily pond made famous in the Nymphéas series and across the Japanese bridge that pops up so often in his work. Then you’ll explore Monet’s house, almost untouched by the passage of time.

We visited the gardens in late April, and the flowers were gorgeous, quite spectacular! Our guide told us April and May have the most flowers blooming. The gardens were very crowded, but there was a one way path to follow to keep things flowing. The interior of the house was interesting as well. There is road construction in Paris that added a chunk of time each way to the drive. Since they had another tour in the afternoon, that time was simply subtracted from the amount of time we had at the property. There was enough time to view the home and garden, but not enough to leave the property to explore.

Due to road blocks on Paris streets (political activity) We had only a little more than an hour at the house/gardens. Tour guide could have done a better job of helping us make the most of the short visit based on interests of the guests. First 15 min wasted waiting for people in the toilet line (was the lav on the bus available…it was never mentioned). Sound system not good, especially on the bus. I heard/understood little of what guide said. Roads still closed when we got back tp Paris so we could not reach our drop off point by bus. Everyone encouraged to get off bus and walk, in my case 30 min in area where I had no sense of direction. Help getting Uber or to Metro would have been appreciated.

Our guide, Alex was fabulous. Unfortunately Paris traffic was gridlocked which meant we only had an hour at Giverney.
Monets garden was totally worth the trip.

Beautiful garden at house
Tour guide was knowledgeable and extremely nice ( great customer service skill)
To improve: guide tour should be shorter to aloud more free time in the garden

Trip took so long we had to rush our time in the gardens
Guide’s headset was cheap and tinny. Hard to hear her.
Even though it was not mentions in the info we got, we were dropped off over a mile from where we boarded the bus

Seeing the gardens and pond revealed the inspiration for many of his paintings. Beautiful, peaceful.

The grounds were impeccable, the property clean and the crowd was relatively sized. Our guide, Alexandra, had a great sense of humor, casual and very knowledgeable of the process, the estate and about the Artist himself. She was very engaging, helpful and accountable. It was the highlight of our time in France.
