Discover the home of Claude Monet, his workshop, and the impressive garden surrounding his home outside of Paris. Your audio-guided tour will depart from Paris, with a travel time of about 1.5 hours on an air-conditioned bus.
Giverny, a quaint village in Normandy, attracted many Impressionist painters in the 19th century; they followed the lead of the movement’s founder, Claude Monet
On arrival, you will have 2 hours to tour the home and grounds, visit in complete freedom with your audioguide the Master’s house where the spectacular colors and enchanting garden were designed like a work of art. Walk through history as you see how Monet lived and was inspired by his surroundings.
You will be dazzled by the flowerbeds and plants, and you will sense the artist’s emotions in front of the famous water lilies and weeping willows in the water garden.

The gardens were beautiful. The site was lovely. The ‘sortie’ signs were not clear; the guide gave the wrong description of the bus for returning
purposes;; bus was NOT in the parking area when we retuned nor were we told that the bus would be leaving the parking area while we toured gardens. Very disconcerting to find that upon returning to the parking lot out tour bus was no where to be seen.

While we took the self guided tour, our guide, Alexandra was so kind and helpful in how to make the most of our time. She had excellent knowledge not only of Monet's gardens and home, but of the sites we passed on the travel to and from the site. We highly recommend this half day tour and our guide, Alexandra!

This was a terrible experience Not at all as described when we ordered tickets. It said the bus ride was a little over an hour. When we got on the bus, the tour guide said some freeway was closed so it would take an hour and a half. Well it took an hour and 45 minutes to arrive! Then we were so pressed for time during the tour. She said they added on 15 minutes. really? all of that should have been disclosed in the description. Also the self guided tour is BS. My phone got no internet service out there, and on my partners phone the sound went on and off! DO NOT BUY THIS TOUR and because of the 2 hour bus ride, we missed our dinner reservation back in Paris.

Late April is a great time to see the gardens --so much color! Guide Alexandra was excellent, gently herding the group that wanted a guided tour. There was an option to see on own as well.

If you are pressed for time, taking a tour bus *might* be a good way to see Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny. However, the audio guide didn’t work for me, the customer service orientation was not good, and the bus was packed and smelled bad. After getting to Giverny, hordes of tourists crowded the area and the pictures I managed to take did not belie the stress experienced by a lady ramming into me to get a better view of the bridge and feeling like appreciation of the gardens was stilted by a constantly moving line. If I were to visit Giverny again, I would choose to take the train by myself or maybe rent a car and I would more peacefully and leisurely spend the day with admiring the gardens, the museums, and having lunch. A solid 2 hours and 30 minutes is spent on the bus, 30 minutes (15 each way) are spent walking from parking into the main area of the town, and there were just shy of 2 hours for visiting the house and gardens. Very rushed and unpleasant experience. OH and, aside from 2-3 clips, my audio guide didn’t work! You have to scan a QR code to listen to pre-recorded clips dictated by a man whose voice seems designed to put you to sleep. After a few clips, there was no sound. The attitude of Paris City Vision was that they’re not responsible and that’s that. Do not go on a Paris City Vision tour to Giverny! I learned very little outside of my own explorations. I really should have just gone on my own.

Giverny is a great place. Unfortunately, way too crowded to appreciate. Audio guide not very useful. Guide was ok but not too helpful and didn’t add anything to the experience.

I bought a guided tour in Spanish, unfortunately the tour was always in English. The agency did not communicate in it.

The gardens were beautiful in the spring. I have been there in the summer so it was totally different. The flowers were gorgeous

This is a place that every tourist to Paris should see. Being on this tour made the excursion doable. It is too far to try to maneuver on our own with trains. Our guide Alexandra was wonderful. She gave a running commentary the whole tour. I learned so much. Unfortunately, it happened to be a school holiday so the grounds were mobbed with people. But the grounds are beautiful. The flowers are amazing. And as I said, I learned so much!

Traveling in July allowed us to see the water lilies. The grounds were stunning. Definitely worth a half a day’s trip.
