Thank you , Alexandra! - Our Paris-to-Giverny-Rouen tour with BackTrip was excellent from start to finish. Alexandra was a wonderful guide who was both knowledgeable and engaging throughout the day. She shared fascinating history and insights in a way that kept the tour interesting and enjoyable. Her passion for the area and for Monet’s gardens truly enhanced the experience. The small-group tour was well organized, comfortable, and well-paced, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of Giverny without feeling rushed. Alexandra’s friendly personality and attention to detail made the day even more memorable. We highly recommend this tour and especially Alexandra as a guide.

Monet’s House and Garden - Dreams do come true - Alexandra made my dream come true in visiting Claude Monet’s beautiful house and garden. Her knowledge of Monet’s life was excellent. I felt like I was visiting with a friend. There were two other ladies in the group and we all had a great day. A special treat was visiting the Joan D’arc museum. Lunch was enjoyed in a medieval village and Alexandra drove us all home safely. I look forward to my next experience with Alexandra - Back Trip

Very personal experience in a small group - Alexandra was a very good guide. The tour was a good pace. It was a dream to visit Monet’s garden and home. Rouen was an interesting old town and the place of Joan of Arc’s demise.

Best trip - Claude Monet tour - This day trip was a truly memorable escape from Paris, beautifully combining art, history, and charming Norman towns. Giverny still feels magical. Walking through the peaceful streets of the village, you can sense the artistic spirit everywhere. Vernon was a delightful stop. The town is picturesque and authentic, with lovely historic architecture and the iconic old mill by the Seine. The Gothic cathedral in Rouen is absolutely stunning . Walking through the medieval streets and hearing the stories about Joan of Arc and the city’s rich past made the visit even more meaningful. A special highlight of the tour was our guide, Liviu. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about the history and art of the region. His explanations were engaging and easy to follow, and he created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. He truly made the experience richer and more personal. Overall, this tour is perfectly balanced — cultural, scenic, and inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Normandy through art, history, and beautiful landscapes.

Monet Monet Monet - A Full Day of His Famous Sites - This was a great introduction to Claude Monet and several of the sites of his most famous work. We arranged for a hotel pick-up, which made the trip easy. The van could, in theory, hold 7, but that would have been tight. We had 4. We arrived at Giverny when it opened, and beat the crowds, many of whom came from cruises. The Monet home is a museum into itself, and the gardens were beyond spectacular. The brief highlights tour of Rouen centered on the Cathedral, which Monet painted several times under various light conditions from what was then a hotel overlooking the cathedral face. We also saw and learned about Joan of Arc and her importance to Rouen and France. Finally, we had not anticipated the charm and beauty of Etretat, a coastal town surrounded by cliffs, which Monet again painted several times under various light conditions. Adding this third site made the trip unique...and also made for a long day for ourselves and our driver guide. It may take some stamina, but you'll find it rewarding. It brings life and depth to the Monet artwork at the Musee d'Orsay and the Orangerie (water lilies) at the Orangerie in Paris.

She was a good driver, but not very knowledgeable. - Monet’s house and garden and Rouen are worth the visit, but do your on research before as our guide wasn’t very informative. I knew we were in trouble when I asked her what that big building was across the river and she had to look at her GPS. It was the Louvre. I enjoyed being driven and she was a good driver, but not really educated on what we were seeing. She read out loud from her phone and some photocopies.
