The tour was, all in all, great. - All in all, this experience was great. Caroline was our guide. I think that she did an amazing job. I only have one complaint. On the bus, we could barely hear Caroline in the speaker system. I also have some advice for future travelers on this tour. It doesn't hurt to keep an eye on the weather forecast. You should absolutely document the trip. I brought my camera, and I didn't regret it.

A Tale of Two Gardens - This was a great little trip! Monet's garden is a little taste of Eden on earth and Versailles is an incredible example of over the top opulence. There is no comparing the two gardens, they are both incredible in their own way. Lunch was tasty, but somewhat lackluster given the price we paid. Our tour guide was exceptional and had so much great information to share from the moment we stepped on the coach in Paris until we disembarked in Paris late that afternoon.

Discrimination - I had a bad experience in my trip. I felt discriminated too. We took package for 3 people ( Paris to Giverny and Versailles). We were late for 10 mins for that the coordinator harassed us like anything. In whole journey of 8 hours she was just talking about us being late. Trip is for enjoyment not to get harassed. Even in schools the teachers are not strict with kids now a days. And lunch also was just ok ok. Not worth for money at all.
