Beauty + Insight = Total Enjoyment - The gardens were beautiful and they remain a tribute to the creativity of the artist. Sheila was an incredible tour guide adding insight to the house, gardens, and Giverny.

Amazing. - Great, we loved this visit. The garden is beautiful, full of variety of flowers and plants. See what season you come, in summer the flowers start to tire. Claude Monet has a beautiful collection of fabulous Japanese prints. It's worth the cost! Must do

VIP Skip the Line Tour - There were only 3 guests on our tour so it seemed very VIP. Bertrand offered great information and answered all our questions. His English was excellent. He knew all the spots for a perfect photo opportunity. He gave a recommendation for Oscar Restaurant and we had a lovely lunch. Highly Recommend!!

We didn’t arrive at the... - We didn’t arrive at the correct time and the guide went out of her way to accommodate us and give us a tour of the gardens. Thank you Mwamini Feza Marine. You made our day!

Beautiful, beyond words - This was an excellent tour! We loved getting the background and history. Our guide was fantastic! Highly recommend doing the morning tour like we did (10am) as it was getting extremely crowded just as we were leaving.

Unnecessary to book a tour - The gardens are beautiful and a must see. The tour was entirely unnecessary. Our guide was lovely, but we would have learned a sufficient amount from a good pamphlet. Because we had a 10:00 start time, we did not save time in terms of lines. Unbeknownst to us, our “English” tour was actually English and French, so half of potential information was provided (while translation occurred)

Way too busy! - Gardens visited on a Saturday in July. Mass tourism has largely ruined our trip. Far too many people are allowed in the gardens. The gardens also lay unkempt. The house was overwhelmed. Very sorry

Dissappointing - The tour guide was extremely difficult to understand. The static in the ear phones were very loud making it even more difficult. I don’t feel she touched on the points of Monet’a life at Giverney well, nor discuss his method for painting. Our grandchildren (8-12) did not listen to her because she was too hard to understand.

No compassion or understanding - I am very disappointed with Viator and this tour company. I accidentally booked the wrong day, because I was denying my previous booking. I tried to put in my new credit card. So had to rebook. Not realizing it was not the day I booked. Tried to cancel, but couldn’t. I will be in France in September. So from now on. I will not be using Viator.
