Beautiful day in May at Monet's House and Gardens and Versailles - Giverny Monet's House and Gardens was absolutely gorgeous with all the flowers and plants in full bloom in May. We had plenty of time to tour the house and gardens on our own, before meeting up with Nicholas, our guide. After a lovely lunch at a small restaurant in the countryside, we moved on to Versailles. Nicholas was very knowledgeable and toured us through the Palace with good commentary on each room. It was extremely crowded but he kept us together and informed so we didn't miss out on anything.

Loved the tour! - Great day trip to two must-see sights! Oliver was a fantastic tour guide. He’s got the right personality for this job. We got such an education thanks to his expertise. The lunch spot was picturesque and it was sunny so we got beautiful pictures! As the other reviews indicated, the food was not spectacular but honestly having bland food on a bus trip is not a terrible thing. We were grateful there wasn’t a lot of fatty meat or melted cheese to digest on a road trip. And the wine is unlimited so if that’s your thing, Cheers! We travelled in a nice air-conditioned Mercedes van, everything and everyone ran on time. There were 13 on this particular tour and that was pleasant. The scenery throughout the road trip is another aspect to enjoy. It was our only chance to see French countryside and it’s just as charming as you’d imagine. Definitely recommend this 8 hour day trip, it’s compact, educational, and historically beautiful.

Excellent tour - This was an excellent tour. Super easy to converse with Nicolas and he was very knowledgeable about everything. It's clear he enjoys/loves what he does and his clients benefit from that passion. An additional bonus was the excellent lunch that was included. I would highly recommend this tour
