Perfect tour - Our guide Clemence was wonderful. Getting there in the morning enabled us to miss the crush of people while we enjoyed the garden. By the time we got to Monet’s house, it was incredible it crowded, but that didn’t matter as much for the house. This tour was a trip highlight for sure. Not only are the grounds stunning, but the visit gave us a great deal of context for the art we saw in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

Family vacation - Philippe have us a great trip and tour of Giverny. Good commentary during drive from Paris to Giverny and at the gardens. He was very savvy - took us into the gardens to beat the crowd of large group tourists. We'd go on his tour anytime!

Good cost and Great Space - Great way to get to the gardens and house. You arrive about 30 mins before the general public (8 AM tour) and have the space all to yourself. Our guide showed us the best viewpoints for photographs. Tour is guided up to the house and after the photos, we were left to explore ourselves. A really great cost for what we enjoyed!

Well worth a visit - Wow, what a place! The house and gardens are out of this world. There is one surprise after another and it is all is so much bigger than you expect. The queue to get in is not too long if you haven't bought online. You really get a feel for the man's passion. Well worth a visit, even if you are not an art enthusiast.

Beautiful - Beautiful as soon as you walked through the gate The gardens and lily pond were extremely well cared for all out in bloom Yes it was crowded but not overwhelming. The house and studios unbelievable to see in person. Easy to get to by train use the shuttle takes you to a large car park,then an underpass to house and gardens, where its divided into to two parts easy walking all flat. We also enjoyed lunch in the restaurant A must go see place for both art lovers or non art fans .

Overpriced - Overpriced and no guidance. Traveled 3+ hours for 40 minute view of house and gardens. Definitely not worth the time and money spent.
