Great experience that was worth the day and price - Our guide was great. He was professional, provided interesting information, and accommodated both those who wanted to walk around the sights in Auvers-sur-Oise and those who had issues and could not walk that far.

On their footsteps - This tour was so interesting especially with our guide Marteen. He was very knowledgeable not only on Monet and Van Gogh lives but on the art also. He truly made this tour extremely fun .

Excellent tour and guide... - Excellent tour and guide (Serena)! This experience takes you to 2 places in one day - (1) Giverny - Monet's house and gardens and (2) Auvers-sur-Oise - van Gogh's residence for the last 70 days of his life and burial site. Although both are within an hour of Paris, it would be very difficult (most likely impossible) to visit both by public transportation in one day. With respect to Giverny, the guide (Serena) did an excellent job of preparing us for the visit with lots of information while in transit. She also made sure that we were among the first in line to visit the always-crowded lily ponds. With respect to Auvers-sur-Oise, we visited the room in which he died, his burial site, and various locations in the town which appear in some of 74 works he painted while living there. The guide had copies of the works so we were able to compare the actual location with his vision. Highly recommended.

Loved it! - Highly recommend! Our guide, Clement, was fantastic - safe driver, knowledgeable, and personable. The day was planned extremely well, we never felt rushed and visiting Van Gogh sites was a bucket list item for me. We had a great group as well

Great trip - I had a great experience. The trip is designed very thoughtful and covers both places I would like to see. Our tour guide Serena was always on time and gave very clear and detailed instructions about the trip. She was also very helpful and knowledgeable about the sites we visited.

Unique opportunity - Claude Monet lived the latter part of his life creating flower and water gardens at his home in Giverney. There he painted his famous water lilies. Vincent Van Gogh spent his last 70 days in Auvers Sur Oise before committing suicide. There he painted his last 70+ important paintings. For an art lover, this trip is heaven. If you’re lucky enough to get Clement as your guide, it is heaven on steroids.
