Overall rating

4.5
(302 reviews)

I thoroughly enjoyed this day trip, and there was just the right number in our group. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and easy to travel with. The stop in Giverny village was lovely and just long enough to grab some food for our lunch, which we had on the banks of the river. The cycling was just long enough for me and pretty flat - a nice way to get to Monet's gardens and house. We had plenty of time there before heading back into Paris on the train. I'd definitely recommend this :)

It would be nice if there were either multiple pick up times or a slightly earlier pick up time for people who are staying the whole day. The Giverny gardens are beautiful and well worth taking the time to spend there but the impressionist museum was disappointingly small (it is only one exhibit), and does not fill up the rest of the day much.

The day trip could easily be an hour and a half shorter and pick up could be at 4:30, , but it was a great experience and I enjoyed the tour very much

Just a little too long 5pm would have been a better time to finish being October instead of 6pm as it wasn’t crowded but hard to predict I’m guessing

Well planned and organised. Great introduction to Monet on the bus. Wonderful way to see the gardens.
