Absolutely Amazing Day Trip! - Merveilleux! Our tour guide, Jean Paul was awesome! He was right on time to pick us up at our hotel. He was so friendly, patient, kind and thoughtful! We enjoyed every minute of the tours. What a beautiful day we had at Monet’s garden and home! JP was so knowledgeable in both arts and history. Dropped us off at a local crepe cafe just before we go into Versailles. The food there was great as well. JP definitely knows the areas. He was very well prepared for our tours with good visual presentation from his tablet and print outs. He got us into the palace without having to wait. There were unbelievable arts to see. JP gave us fantastic information during our walk inside the palace and the magnificent garden! One day is not enough to spend at these two locations. We we’ll definitely be back to explore on our next trip to France. By the way, JP is also a great photographer too 😍👍🏼 Merci beaucoup Jean Paul!

Great private tour - Great tour with JP! He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Day started early but was worth it to just barely miss the crowds in Giverny. Was great to talk to him about all things France and French culture as well. A bit pricey of a day but very worth it

Best Day on our Paris Vacation! - Our tour guide was right on time, picking my mother and I up at our hotel. Gil was very knowledgeable about both sites, and gave us excellent information to understand Claude Monet and his gardens, Louis XIV, and Versailles. My mother has mobility issues and Gil was so accommodating and helpful. This trip was worth every penny!

Gardens were magical;... - Gardens were magical; Palace was stunning; Guide was on his schedule not ours. He did not allow us time to visit the gift shops. He did not suggest a place for lunch. Having had a private tour of gardens and palace several years ago {not with Viator}, which was wonderful, this tour was a disappointment.
