Enjoyed the GIVERNY home any garden. - Loved this experience. The gardens the home and the GIVERNY trip was great. The Versailles portion was not so good. Could not understand the guide very well. Left entrance ticket on bus. Driver left. Guide disappeared so I did not get to go in but all the others did. We had fun despite the difficulties

Loved seeing the Cheatue... - Loved seeing the Cheatue of Versailles! I also enjoyed the lunch very much at the village of Forges and all the fancy cars there! Just seeing the countryside and areas outside of Paris was amazing in of itself! Also the village of Gitney was incredible as well seeing Monet’s house and bedroom and actual kitchen was all a very unique experience would highly recommend this tour!

Decent tour of two beautiful places - Both places were extremely crowded but worthwhile. We couldn't get into Monet's house due to crowds and time constraints but the gardens were splendid in full bloom. Lunch at the mill was poor but we enjoyed the place. Despite the crowds, we were able to see everything in Versailles which was magnificent. All in all, it was a worthwhile trip. Just a note of caution, an audio tour requires you to bring headphones and download an app to listen to the descriptions. This is not clearly stated that you do not get a Whisperer device.

Monet and versailles - Monets garden was beautiful, versailles was mind blowing despite the wet weather. Tour was great for a taste of each site but would have liked more time to explore versailles. The guide were very informative. Lunch was provided and delicious.

Not enough time - It was super crowded as all Paris is after the Olympics. Couldn’t see much in Monet’s house but gardens were lovely. Could have used another half hour of time. Versailles was absolutely mobbed and I wished we had just taken the train. Two hours wasn’t enough time to even get to all that I wanted to see.

Versailles queue wasn't skipped! - Monet's garden was beautiful. We were disappointed to be dropped at Versailles at 2.45pm with tickets timed for entry at 3.30pm. One of the reasons I booked this tour was that it stated "skip the queue" at Versailles. We didn't skip the queue we wasted 45 minutes waiting for the queue we were in to move. That's not what we expected and paid for.
