Giverny and Versailles with Eli - We were picked up at the appointed time at our air BNB. We had a very lovely tour guide, named Eli and a very safe driver, Nikolai. Eli was fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a beautiful trip which I would highly recommend. Small tours and skipping the lines was fantastic.

Impressive Tour - Great value for the price! Ilya was very knowledgeable and provided wonderful insight into the history of all the places we visited weaving it all together. He was very attentive to the group and checked in often to see how we were doing. The time to stroll the streets of Giverny between visiting Monet’s home and heading to Versailles. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Paris.

A marvellous day - We had a lovely day with our driver and our guide Daniel. Both were extremely friendly and accommodating. Daniel is so well versed in the history of the area. If you love art, history, gardens and exploring beautiful spots this is the tour to do. If you have Daniel as your guide....bonus

Fabulous Tour Guide - Diana - Fabulous. I don’t have the words to describe how wonderful, Diana, our tour guide was. The ride to Giverney and Versailles was extremely comfortable for a family of four with two adult daughters. Diana and our driver arrived promptly for departure and we stopped for coffee in advance of Giverney. Moving throughout Monet’s property was seemless with Diana, and I can’t emphasize enough how knowledgeable and relatable she was. We had limited time in Versailles and we never would have been able to navigate and come away with the knowledge, context, and understanding of the palace and French Revolution without our guide. Unexpectedly, the Trianon was probably a personal favorite - even though it was late in the day and everyone was tired and it was pouring rain!! I would definitely recommend this tour for others!

An easy going yet epic experience - Both Versailles and Giverny/Monet Gardens are unique, unforgettable places to visit. Our guide, Daniel, knew a lot about history and facts from both sites. He also gave us lots of tips for best pictures and on how to take best out of the experience. Our driver, Nikolai, was very polite and ready on time to pick us up on each location. Everything went so easy and smooth. 100% recommended!

Great experience - David was an excellent tour guide! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Driver was excellent as well. My daughter and I were paired with an affable Australian couple, so there were 6 of us in the Mercedes minivan, which was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. So glad I paid a little more for the small group option instead of the bus. David provided helpful commentary in the vehicle and at the sites, while also allowing us reasonable amounts of free time as appropriate for this trip’s itinerary. Our Paris hotel was outside the pickup area, so we met David and the driver outside the Opera Garnier. However, since the Australian couple ended their tour when we arrived at Versailles (pre-planned, as they had previously visited that site), I was pleasantly surprised when David offered to drive us directly to our hotel at the end of the tour, which they didn’t have to do and was out of their way, so it was very much appreciated.

Natural beauty of Giverny/Grandeur of Versailes - The tour itself was fine but our guide Valentine acted like he was just going through the motions. He was not engaging and was aloof. He obviously is young and knowledgeable, but he did not share any enthusiasm. The following day we had 2 dynamic guides- one to Notre Dame and the other to the Louvre which shined an even harsher light on the poor performance of this guide. Giverny and Versailles were both beautiful and Giverny is easy to navigate on your own. We enjoyed our time at both sites and the guide who is an art history major did share information BEFORE we went into each venue which was helpful but a little enthusiasm would have made the day perfect.

Awful - The guide didn’t speak good English we couldn’t understand her! She totally rushed us to the point we could hardly take photos we were suppose to have lunch included and we ended up paying for terrible sandwich at Versailles $23 and we were stressed the entire time! I’ve used Viator many times this was the worst tour ever! Thank you Diane Newman
