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

Great Giverny tour - We totally enjoyed our Viator Giverny tour. It was easy to make reservations, meet and get tickets, very comfortable bus ride, and the gardens, of course, were spectacular. Two hours was enough time to see the house, have a snack, visit the museum shop and relax a bit before our return to Paris. We highly recommend this tour.

Skip the middle man. - Unfortunately, the most memorable part of our Giverny "experience" was the fact that we were misdirected as regards the pickup location. This created a delay for everyone, not just ourselves. This in turn most likely led to everyone's time being limited once we got there.
