Monet’s Gardens a MUST SEE! - Our Tour Guide Chris was amazing and he was a great driver. He was very knowledgeable about the property and its history. The gardens were amazing with all the spring bulbs in full bloom.

Just book it!! You won't regret it! - Andre was wonderful. He arrived early and picked us up at our hotel. Our van was clean roomy and comfortable. We were given plenty of interesting facts on the hour drive from Paris. While at Giverney he kept things interesting while touring us around slowly enough for the pace to be enjoyably for my elderly mother. This was the best highlight of our Paris holiday. Would book again. Highly recommend. Don't forget to tip. The trip and the guide are worth it.

A Special Experience - The gardens and house of artist Monet had been on my bucket list for some years and it was well worth the wait. Arrived at the gardens as part of an English coach tour, queues were at the entrance on day of arrival.
Very busy around the grounds and lake. April is not water lily season yet the gardeners had been busy and the Tulips and flowers were stunning. Expect queues to enter the house, yet worth the wait as the house is lovely inside.
A very special experience. Perfect in all respects. Bucket list ticked. Many thanks.

Pleasantly surprised - Stunning gardens, water lily’s were not out but the pond was lovely. Flowers were in bloom and gorgeous colours.
Go early before the crowds.

Magical morning in Giverny - This was an absolute highlight of our trip to Paris. Our guide Andre was knowledgeable, funny, and so impressive in his extensive knowledge. The gardens were breathtaking, and I feel like I have so much context now as to what I took in. He drove us there through back streets in the villages so we could see the houses built into the limestone cliffs. The whole experience was amazing and well worth it. I highly recommend!

The one you must pick, hands down - My guide Christophe was superb. He made me feel at ease as solo traveler. Transportation was extremely clean. He made the drive time a great time to share information.
He was great in Giverny. He gave a highly personalized tour of the home and gardens. He was obviously known there and we moved quickly without waiting. He took photos of me.ci didn't have to ask (which is hard to not feel awkward). He knew every place that was perfect and the photos were wonderful. He communicated multiple times..."take your time". It was refreshing to a highly customized experience and be able to truly enjoy the experience. He allowed me to wonder about and grab the local musuem as well.
I had experienced an issue with my accommodations and He gave wonderful feedback and advice that got me to new choice and resurrected my vacation. He have me ideas for restaurants and places to see in Paris.
I can't emphasize enough that this is the tour to take Giverny. More than worth the cost.

A magical & wonderful day. - Our guide Mario was terrific. He wove historical information about Monet, Giverny, the gardens & the house while we explored them. Then he explained the same for Normandy on the return trip to Paris. The house & gardens were beautiful. The rain was usually light & made everything sparkle & fresh. A wonderful day.

I thought we had paid for... - I thought we had paid for a guided tour. Our driver/guide did not accompany us through out excursion. We got basic info both ways in car and only a few minutes at the gardens. Unless my expectations were incorrect, I feel like we overpaid. I should have just booked transportation both ways it would’ve been cheaper.
Not related to the tour specifically, but there is a café on site and the staff there is so rude. They yell at their customers and have no patience.

Get Your Guide is an Irresponsible Guide Company - I booked an English speaking tour. We were 7 people. # English speakers and 4 French. The guide put off my questions until we were past the point of interest. She spoke French most of the time and when questions were asked in French she answered in French so 3 of us missed the questions and answers. Three of us felt like we got half a tour and were very dissatisfied. I contacted Get Your Guide via internet and told them the problem. They have never responded. I think they wasted my time and will n ever use them again. Fortunately I had a day and a half to walk this sweet town and chat with other visitors and knowledgeable people.
