Great travel - The gathering is timely, a group of 6 people, guides will pay attention to everyone's needs (whether you need coffee, place to eat choice)
Monet's painting changes and the meaning of life in the valley are clear, although guides from all over the world will also encourage each other to share, and lunch will help to book and communicate in French and restaurants, and the bus is clean and comfortable.

Art lovers dream tour - A fantastic tour with the wonderful Michael as host ,driver and tour director. Michael has a wealth of knowledge and was extremely helpful and patient with a participant with mobility issues. An excellent way to tour both these areas in comfort with the advantage of a small group. Value for money I highly recommend this tour and Bluefox .

A lovely day out in Giverny - Great day trip out of Paris especially if you are an art lover and a big fan of Impressionism. It’s a treat to see the objects and locations which provided inspiration for Monet and Van Gogh paintings right before our eyes. Highly recommended if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Paris.
