Worth a visit! - Wonderful tour. We loved visiting the gardens! The bus was a convenient way to get there. We would have liked more time to walk around Giverny.

A must see if you are a fan of Monet - Spectacular, even in the fall. I didn't expect the garden to be in bloom but it was lovely. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. There is a lot of walking and it does get very crowded but completely worth it!

Great walk. Wonderful guide. - The guide was sensational. Gave us a lot of information and gave us tips to go to the house and the gardens. Easily accessible meeting point. The bus was punctual and the journey was fast. It was worth it because it takes you right to the spot. I highly recommend visiting Giverny, as if we were living Monet.

Beautiful, well managed trip to Giverny - Nice half day trip. Guide was excellent providing background information that was very helpful. This was a half day trip that was more than enough to see the house, gardens and stroll the town of Giverny. Very comfortable luxury bus. The gardens were beautiful even in late October. The house was interesting but not big. Not much to see in the village. If you are a Monet fan the trip to the gardens alone is worth the tour. It was not that crowded for this visit. It would not be as enjoyable with in season crowds as the garden paths are narrow with no manged traffic flow.

Art and Nature perfect combination! - As soon as you enter the garden you immediately breathe a peace and serenity that surely inspired Monet during his pictorial life, while the house and reproductions of his most famous paintings accompany you during the journey on Monet's daily life, the gardens that surround it make it an almost fairytale landscape, these small streams where plants lush in quantity and colors, make this visit truly enjoyable.

Not a tour but transportation to and from Monet’s estate in Giverny - The cost of the tour essentially covered the bus ride to and from Giverny. It was, in reality, not a tour as our group was dropped off at the entrance to the Giverny grounds and left to fend for ourselves. It would have been beneficial to at least been given a map of the estate, as the signs to the various areas of interest were not well displayed or concise. We noticed that other groups were actually led through the grounds by tour guides.
