Our guide Alex was great. It would have been helpful for her to annunciate a bit more. But she made lemonade out of lemons…we are late b/c getting out of London was a problem due to the Chinese President being in the city - so our trip got shortened by approximately one hour

our guide was rxcellent. He gave a very presentation about Monet and the house and gardens.
My only negative comment would be that I did not think enough time was allowed for the visit. It was crowded which meant we had to wait in line for EVERYTHING!!

Monet's house and gardens are incredible. We were lucky to visit Paris right after the gardens opened post-winter and they are definitely worth a visit. However, this tour was very disappointing. Our tour guide, Lis, was very nice and informative but everything else about the tour was not accurate to the description. Our bus driver managed to hit two separate things en route to Giverny. Due to these two accidents that caused major delays and the ridiculous 25-minute mandatory bathroom break once we arrived just steps away from the entrance to Monet's home (where more bathrooms were available to those that needed it), we were left with only one hour (when we were told we'd have 3 hours) to explore the house, gardens and the Giverny village. Most people had to choose to either see the house OR the gardens and we all missed Giverny entirely. We were pretty upset that we paid extra money to have the logistics taken care, only to be left with no time to enjoy where we were. So while the destination is extraordinary, I would not sign up for another tour with City Wonders.
My advice to those considering this tour: Take the train and arrive early (or very late) to avoid some of the crowds.

Monet’s gardens and home were amazing. The presentation and slideshow delivered by Kadir were perfect and great preparation for the tour of Monet’s gardens and home.
There was a medical emergency for an elderly member of the tour group and Kadir’s response to this challenging situation was perfect. Kadir comforted the elderly person and other members of the tour while we waited for the ambulance to arrive .

It was a great experience! Our guide Kadir was really helpful and dedicated! I really enjoyed the explanations given during the bus ride to Giverny. Really liked the experience with Getyourguide and City Wonders!

Even early in the season the garden in worth the coach trip from Paris alone. Our guide Riatre was very informative and provided a great commentary to Monet’s life on the journey. It was obvious to imagine why Monet loved and chose this beautiful location. We loved the gardens and the lake with the famous water lilleys. Although the waterlilies were not in bloom the wisteria was and provided a perfect overhanging arch photo opportunity on the bridge. We could have spent another hour at Monet’s House easily but time was a little short following our fascination with the garden. A excellent trip and well worth a revisit!

Picked up on time. Guide Liz was knowledgable and enthusiastic, the driver also highly competent and friendly. Absolutely loved the gardens but thought inside the house itself nothing special- more a collection of Japanese prints.

Wonderful tour guide. Disappointed because after we got off the bus the tour ended and we were on our own. A tour is with a guide but our guide did not come with us but sat on a bench over looking the pond. Bit disappointed. I would have saved my money and driven out there myself.

Explanations of where to meet were good and a lot of very interesting information provided .
Interesting and amusing historical anecdotes . Also explanation of impressionist period .. something that I hadn’t quite understood before . Explanations of how mood etc were displayed in brush strokes . I liked the manner of Ratri’s delivery .. easy to follow and understand . Altogether a good

Great insightful guide (Ratri) ! Deifnitely recommend it as a capsule to visit the Giverny, the planning should be revised to allow to see all the major attractions, as there is too little time to see everything in the high season
