Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch

This was a return trip to Giverny and Versailles - but it had been many years and we enjoyed having our son and his wife with us to experience it too. My husband's mobility is compromised this year so we had a TravelScoot with us for him to get around. We were delighted how the guide could get us through Versailles (with some behind the scenes elevators). Giverny was harder (gravel roads, etc.), but found a lovely place to stop and get a quick bite at the end of the tour time.

Nice trip. Good tour guide. A bit disorganized with rough start. The bus picked up extra guests and they moved our stuff for absolutely no reason. Parts were rushed. Meal was just ok.

Everything went very smoothly! Madame Marie-Amelia was so patient and informative- even with an infant in the group. Would definitely recommend this excursion.

I was a solo traveler and the trip was awesome! The guide was awesome. He drove us in minivan to Versailles and took care of entry and everything and gave us a private tour of the palace and then drove us to Giverny’s B&B where our lunch had been arranged and cost included in the booking. We had peaceful lunch at scenic B&B with some open seating at a garden with live music and some good French wine and food! Then the guide drove us to Monet’s village and he left us and gave us plenty of time to explore the garden and house and village! While driving back to Paris, he gave us some good pointers on sightseeing in Paris!

Great driver and guide. Had a wonderful self tour of Monet's Gardens and House with ample time. A really nice lunch in a country setting. And then a real nice overview tour of Versailles, especially the Palace and outside Gardens. The whole day was enjoyable!

I am so glad that I booked this tour. I didn't have to worry about getting to these attractions, everything was done for me. Our tour guide was very informative and knew exactly what to do. The lunch that we had was amazing. I felt sorry for all the people that had to waste their time standing in a long line!

I thoroughly enjoyed my day in Versailles and Giverny. I only wish I would have had more time to enjoy the incredible sights at Versailles. We were not able to be there for the day the water fountains were working, so perhaps another trip is in order! It is also nice to skip the lines. Our guide was very knowledgable and kindly took our little group to the mall in Paris when done - we needed another suitcase!

Pasquale was a well informed and gracious host. We arrived at Versailles in a very comfortable coach and had to barely wait to access the palace and gardens. There was adequate time to see both the palace and the gardens. We then drove to a beautiful spot in Fourges for lunch. Giverny was beautiful too and again we had plenty of time to explore at leisure.

Pamela our guide made sure we enjoyed the tour. We were a group of six and she kept us engaged the entire time on a very long day. Hitting both places in one day was ambitious but Pamela knew all the ways to make the day run smoothly and efficiently. Although she herself gave the guided tour of Versailles, She provided us ample time to wander own our own in the palace gardens and at Monet’s house and garden. Great tour. Interesting and informative and allowed us to have only one day outside of Paris instead of two, which worked well with out schedule. If there were any shortcoming on the trip, it is the lunch. Gorgeous and charming setting, but the entre left something to be desired. Otherwise, we loved the tour in every way.

The tour successfully contrasted the simplicity of Giverny to the opulence of Versailles Excellent guide who made sure we had not only an enjoyable but also an informative day. Small group was ideal.Transfer well organised and lunch quality so far above any tour lunch I have experienced. Would highly recommend.
