Monet and shopping - We had a great time. Transportation was fast and easy. Getting into the House and Garden was fast as well because we did not need to buy tickets there. Overall good experience. Anthony was a great help as well. 5/5

A great half day tour -
Today we visited the village of Giverny and the house and gardens of Claude Monet. Beings somewhat of a philistine when it comes to art, the biggest private collection in the world didn't exactly float my boat but the gardens were certainly worth the trip out there. We booked the tour online from Melbourne and arranged pickup from our Air BnB. We shared a mini bus with a couple of South Africans and 4 Americans. Our tour guide for the day was Andre and he was a well seasoned professional. He knew exactly what he needed to do to ensure a good return of tips at the end of the day. He was genuinely a good communicator and friendly operator.
Monet's gardens were something to behold. We are about a month too early for the water lilies but there were some that had opened early. The lakes must be impressive when they're in full bloom. The rest of the gardens are superb. Although they're French gardens, there are lots of what I'd just call English garden plants. Plenty of giant Poppies, Rhododendrons, Roses and hundreds of other species. The house was in good repair and impressive. It was a bit of a Fawlty Towers design though with lots of ups and downs (not unlike Shakespear's joint)
The trip home was about 2 hours as traffic was pretty hectic. It was only about 80 Km from central Paris.
I would definitely recommend this tour.

All four of us, including my husband... - <p>All four of us, including my husband and two adult children, really enjoyed Giverny and the lovely lunch afterward in a beautiful setting a terrace at an old mill. However, we found Auvers-sur-Oise much less rewarding. Van Gogh's home was very hot and crowded. The guides at the home combined 2 tours 2 different Languages which forced everyone to stand in a tight, crowded,hot and uncomfortable space while the guide spoke in the other language. I would recommend doing Giverny and lunch and skipping Auvers-sur-Oise.</p>

Lousy communication - Our Uber was stuck in traffic. I messaged what said was the tour operator but was not. They left without us and said had they got the message they would have waited. Suck poor service and not what I am used to from Viator.. I think I have to book now directly with the company so it is accurate information. HORRIBLE

Total misrepresentation of a visit to a beautiful place! - The house is beautiful. The tour completely sucked. Nothing posted was provided. We had no time there and several points of interest were skipped. It said maximum 10 people. There were 40. So disgusted! Lunch at an old mill restaurant? Had no idea what we were talking about. I'm an experienced traveler and this one just boggles the mind!
