Tur från Paris till Giverny

Trevliga reseledaren Laurence berättade om Monets liv under resan och på tillbakavägen gav han oss tips om sightseeing och shopping i Paris. Organisationen var utmärkt. Bussen var bekväm. Monets trädgård är magnifik, en fest för ögonen. Huset och näckrosdammen är också värda ett besök. En halvdagstur räcker, du kan se allt på en 2-timmars promenad.

Biljettförsäljningen var enkel och fungerade bra. Älskade trädgårdarna och huset men så synd att de tillåter så många människor där på en gång. Bara för trångt. Alla biljetter bör förköpas och antalet begränsas. Bussen som tog oss hade luftkonditioneringsproblem och pumpade varm luft ut ur ventilationsöppningarna på övervåningen. Guiderna var kunniga och hjälpsamma.

Vår guide Selma var fantastisk. Massor av kunskap och roliga historier. Hon gjorde vår dag till Giverny till en resa att inte glömma. Allt var fantastiskt med resan till Giverny. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Älskade att vi kunde utforska i vår egen takt. Det regnade på morgonen, så halvdagsturen på eftermiddagen var idealisk! Inte många människor var där, och det kändes definitivt som rätt tid.

Went in peak season and yes, it’s crowded, but the garden is insane. Our guide was like a walking Monet encyclopedia. Worth every penny.

Jag älskade trädgårdarna och Lilly-dammen. Hela platsen var imponerande. Vår guide, Agnes, var mycket omtänksam och såg till att alla blev omhändertagna.

This was my second visit and it just gets BETTER. The garden is a riot of color in July. Even with the crowds it’s so peaceful. Bring a sketchbook if you draw!

Went with my girlfriend and it was so romantic. The water lilies were blooming and the sun was out, couldn’t ask for better. Crowds weren’t toooo bad in the morning. Would recommend for couples big time.

Honestly, this was a dreamy day trip. I did the tour solo and was a bit nervous about joining a group, but our guide (think her name was Jacques?) made EVERYONE feel included. The gardens were in FULL bloom—like, I literally took 200 pics. It was busy, not gonna lie, and there were a few times I almost lost the group, but the guide kept waving his umbrella so we knew where he was. If you love flowers, bring allergy meds! Worth every penny.

Truly magical! Went with my partner, we both loved it. Staff were so friendly. Bring your own snacks, cafe is a bit expensive.

Giverny was so pretty but sooo busy. We had to wait like 40 minutes to get in the house. Once inside, it was crowded but worth it just to see the kitchen tiles. The garden was the highlight. Wear comfy shoes—lots of walking!

Visited with my husband and our two small kids. The gardens were EPIC! Both kids actually liked it (rare). We packed a picnic, sat by the water, and just people-watched. House was a bit cramped but the guide at the door was super sweet, chatted with my daughter about Monet. Would go again if we’re back in Paris.

I went with my mom and wow, Monet’s garden is like walking thru a dream painting. The COLORS are wild in summer! It was a bit crowded (expected) but I still managed to get some cute pics in the water lily area. Our guide, I think her name was Emilie?, was super patient with my endless questions. Also, the house is smaller than I thought but so charming. Only thing—gift shop line was loooong, so bring snacks if you’re the hangry type.

Giverny was the highlight of my trip. Loved the colors, the peaceful pond, and our guide had great stories. Only downside: can’t take pics inside the house.

We went on a whim from Paris—SO GLAD we did! The bus was comfy, guide was hilarious (dad jokes galore), and the gardens just blew me away. Crowds? Yep, but you sorta zone out staring at the water lilies. Pro tip: skip the house if lines are nuts, the garden is the real star.

Went with my girlfriend, she loved it. The flowers are wild in July. Couldn’t hear the guide well in the house, too many people, but still worth it.

Took my parents—my mom is Monet obsessed. The garden is so lush in July. Guide had great stories. Bit busy, but still magical.

I’m not even an art person but this trip was GREAT. The guide cracked jokes and shared weird Monet facts (the man apparently loved Japanese prints??). Didn’t love having to wait for the bathroom but overall, solid tour.

LOVED it. Went with my wife, both of us big garden nerds. Early slot, barely anyone around. Got the perfect sunlight for pics. Audio guide wasn’t great but who cares—just look around and soak it in.

WOW. The garden is just like the paintings. Staff were amazing, helped my mom with her wheelchair. Can’t recommend enough.

It’s like stepping into a rainbow. Guide was fun, gardens were lush, and even the gift shop was cute. Highly recommend for families.

Gorgeous garden, but lines inside the house are brutal in July. Not much shade while you wait. Maybe not best for little kids or anyone who hates queues.

Went with friends and it was a good day out. Bit crowded but that’s summer for ya. The water lilies were in full bloom and made for CRAZY good photos.

Went with my boyfriend and we LOVED the gardens (so much color, honestly a feast for your eyeballs). The house felt a bit crowded and we shuffled through kinda quick, but still cool to see where Monet lived. The staff were friendly but seemed a bit rushed. Best tip: go early if u can, the lines after 11am get wild. We grabbed a pastry in the village after—super cute.

Took my two teens and even THEY liked it (shocking). The flowers were blooming like crazy, and the pond looked exactly like the paintings. Our guide made history stuff fun and knew all the shortcuts around the busiest paths. We even had time to grab ice cream in the village after. Would def come again, but bring a hat—it gets HOT in July.

This was my DREAM. The garden is out of this world. Went early and had some quiet before the busloads arrived. Staff were friendly, even gave tips on secret photo spots. Bit hard to get wifi for the audioguide, so maybe print a map ahead?

LOVED every minute. The pond is just as beautiful as in Monet’s paintings. Staff were helpful, even helped me find the restroom (not super obvious).

Been to France a bunch, but this was my first time at Monet’s house. Gardens are STUNNING. Guide was enthusiastic, made the history fun.

Nice day trip from Paris. Bus was comfy, guide was fun. Wish we had more time to wander, but saw all the main sights. Would recommend!

Got lucky with the weather, sunny but not too hot. Short walk from parking, but bring comfy shoes. Guide was knowledgable, pointed out Monet’s fav plants.

Went with my sister and it was just SOOO pretty. Flowers everywhere, colors like WOAH. We had to queue for a bit to get in, but honestly didn’t mind bc the garden was worth it. Snapped a ton of pics (can’t take any inside Monet's bedroom tho—heads up). Our guide was chill, kinda funny. Sun was blazing so bring water & a hat (my sister forgot, now she's a tomato). Would def go again, maybe try spring next time.

Beautiful but BUSY. My wife and I went late morning, and it was packed. House is tight, so you shuffle through. Flowers are on another level though. Shop is pricey but cute souvenirs.

Bucket list stop for me! Weather was perfect. Took so many pics. The house was a little cramped but still cool to see where Monet lived. Pro tip: check opening times, we almost missed the afternoon slot.

Went solo, sat next to some nice ppl on the bus. Smooth ride, guide shared some fun Monet facts. Gardens legit felt like a painting. Not enough time to see every corner tho, I wish it was longer. Still, left with a smile.

Took my gran for her birthday. She’s a Monet fan. We both loved the gardens, colors were AMAZING. Staff helped with her walker, very kind. Thanks!

Went with my mom and aunt. Flowers everywhere, so colorful! House is small but sweet. Shop is expensive but got a fridge magnet anyway.

Was hoping for a chill day but tour groups everywhere. Guide was nice but hard to hear with all the noise. Still, the flowers are unreal.

The gardens are beautiful but the house is a bit underwhelming. Long lines everywhere. Glad I saw it, but one time is enough.

Took my mum, she LOVES Monet. We both were wowed by the gardens, colors are unreal. House is kinda small and gets packed, but seeing Monet's actual studio was EPIC! The only downside was the crowd - maybe try super early?

We booked the transport plus entry package. Super easy from Paris. Only issue was the line to get in—took ages. Once inside, the flowers were insane. Monet’s kitchen is a cool yellow color, didn’t expect that. Worth the trip.

We went as a family of five. Kids got bored quickly in the house but loved running around the garden. Staff was kind, let us skip a line with our stroller.

Took my two kids (aged 8 and 10) and they LOVED it. Brought sketchbooks and they drew flowers for ages. The pond with the lilies is just like the painting. Had ice cream at the cafe after, bit pricey but yum. Would recommend for families.

Gorgeous. Can’t believe how many flowers there are. Wish I could have spent all day here. Pro tip: wear comfy shoes, lots of walking.

Loved the gardens, but the tour felt a bit rushed. Could have used another 30 mins to chill by the pond. Still, seeing the Japanese bridge IRL was worth it!

Honestly, this was one of the highlights of my trip. The guide knew all the backstory, and seeing the famous Japanese bridge in real life was wild. Weather was perfect, got lucky there. FYI - wifi is spotty so download audio before!

Good trip from Paris. Bus was clean, guide was friendly. Gardens were packed, but still enjoyed the scenery. Buy tickets ahead to save time.

The flowers!! So many I’d never seen before. Came with my art class, everyone lost their minds over the colors. If you love plants, go. Only downside: can’t sit in the garden, gotta keep moving.

This was a dream come true for me. Gardens are like a rainbow exploded. Took my mom and she was so happy. Line for the house was long but worth it.

Honestly, the whole thing was ok. Gardens nice but too busy. House is interesting but not much signage inside. Glad I went, but not sure I’d go again.

Loved seeing Monet’s water lily pond, even if we had to dodge a million selfie sticks. Guide pointed out where Monet would sit to paint. If you’re a fan, you gotta go.

Went with my mom and little bro. The bus was super comfy, and the AC was a total lifesaver since it was suuuper hot out. Giverny was honestly like walking into a painting, flowers EVERYWHERE. Versailles was packed (guess that's normal), but our guide, Jerome, kept us moving and gave us cool facts. Lunch at the old mill = wow, so French, even if my bro hated the cheese. Would recommend, but wear sneakers, so much walking!

Went on this tour with my mum and we LOVED it. The guide was super friendly, told us random Monet facts I’d never heard before (did you know he was obsessed with water lilies??). Monet’s garden was like walking through a painting, honestly, but sooo many people – we kept bumping into elbows, lol. Versailles was HOT but beautiful (bring water, trust me). I’d do it again just for the garden vibes and the little bakery we stopped by for pastries on the way back. Totally worth the early wake-up.

Great tour for seeing a lot in one day. Guide was friendly, bus was comfy, and lunch was decent. Only negative—crowds everywhere.

Giverny is a dream, just like Monet’s paintings. Versailles is… a palace. Our guide was funny and kept us moving. Only complaint is the group was maybe too big, so hard to ask questions sometimes. Wear good shoes, lots of walking!

I gotta say, this tour was just what I needed after a week of Paris crowds! My partner and I went in with low expectations (honestly, thought it would be wayyyy too touristy), but the garden at Giverny is ridiculously pretty—like, movie set pretty. There were a ton of people but our guide (can’t remember her name but she was funny!) zipped us through the chaos and made sure we didn’t lose anyone. Versailles was, well, totally grand, but the inside felt suuuper packed. The best part for me was the little lunch spot—old mill, birds everywhere, and homemade apple tart that I’m still thinking about. We were a bit wiped by the end, but so worth it. PRO TIP: bring water and comfy shoes, it’s a looong day.

Packed day, but guide kept us on time. Giverny is peaceful if you get away from the main crowd. Versailles is overwhelming but beautiful. Lunch was a nice break. Would do again.

Pros: cool guide, smooth ride, packed schedule. Cons: lots of people, esp at Versailles. Lunch was solid, group was friendly. Bring water!

The tour was quite nice. Beautiful gardens at Monet's, though a bit too busy. Versailles was a highlight, but very crowded and a bit too warm. The guide, Marie, was helpful and cheerful. Would recommend for anyone short on time.

Very efficient tour. Saw a lot, learned a lot. Only downside: not much free time at each stop. Still, guide was great and lunch was tasty.

Tour was well-run, guide kept us on schedule. Monet’s gardens were packed but still worth it for the flowers. Versailles is just on another level. Coach was comfy. Only wish we had 1 more hour at each stop, felt rushed.

Perfect day trip! Guide was great, Monet’s garden is magical, and Versailles is epic. Lunch was delicious. Would do again!

Good value for seeing two bucket list spots in one day. Very long tho – we left at 7am and got back after 7pm, so bring snacks! Guide spoke clear English and made sure no one got lost. Garden at Giverny = gorgeous, but so many tour groups at the same time. Versailles was AMAZZZZING but crowded (couldn't really take pics in peace). Still, worth it.

Pros: smooth ride, fun guide, gardens are STUNNING. Cons: rushed through each stop, barely time for coffee. Versailles was craaazy crowded. Still glad we did it, just wish for more chill time.

Good overall. Too busy inside Monet’s house, almost felt like herding cattle lol. Versailles is always impressive. Guide was funny, told us where to get the best ice cream near the palace entrance. Would book again.

Did this with a group of friends—packed day, but guide kept things lively. Monet’s garden is incredible, Versailles is next level (soooo many chandeliers). Lunch was surprisingly good.

Absolutely loved it! Our guide was amazing (shoutout to Marie!). Giverny was so lush, the water lilies looked straight outta a painting. Versailles was packed but still EPIC. Lunch at the mill had the best bread I’ve ever tasted. Worth every penny.

This tour was a highlight of our Europe trip. My wife loves gardens so she was in heaven at Monet’s place (even with the crowds). The bus was clean, guide was super knowledgeable, and lunch at the water mill was surprisingly tasty. Versailles blew my mind—never seen anything that fancy. Only complaint is we hit some traffic on the way back but that’s Paris for you. Bring sunglasses and patience, but do it!

Absolutely loved it! Monet’s garden is breathtaking, Versailles is stunning. Guide was fantastic and lunch was delicious.

Long day but worth it. Gardens at Giverny are beautiful, Versailles is impressive. Guide kept us on track. Lunch was a highlight.

Went with my wife – we both said WOW about 100 times! The guide was hilarious, made history fun. Versailles was crowded but still epic. Lunch was fancy but filling. Would do again, but maybe in spring when it's less hot.

The itinerary is ambitious and you feel it. Monet’s garden was lovely but honestly couldn’t really stop to enjoy—just shuffled along in a line. Versailles is obviously historic but way too many ppl. Guide was doing her best but seemed stressed. Lunch was ok. Worth it if you like ticking boxes but not if you want to linger.

Took my mom for her birthday and she was THRILLED. Giverny was full of flowers (and people lol), but our guide made it special with stories about Monet’s life. Versailles was overwhelming in a good way. Lunch was lovely—try the duck if they have it!

Had a great time! Monet’s garden blew me away, and Versailles was insane (in a good way). Guide kept things fun and organized. Lunch spot was a hidden gem. Would recommend!

Did this with my mom and sister. The garden is gorgeous, but hot and packed. Our guide was patient and funny. Versailles is just… a LOT. Lunch was nice. Would recommend if you’ve got energy.

I really liked seeing Monet's gardens, even if it was a bit too crowded for my taste. Felt kinda rushed in the house, hardly got to stop for photos. Versailles was impressive but HOT inside. The guide was nice but hard to hear sometimes. The lunch spot was super cute and the bread was epic. Just wish the group was a little smaller.

Mycket kunnig, vänlig, hjälpsam och underhållande guide. Han hade utmärkta kunskaper i engelska och var till stor hjälp för en person i vår grupp som hade begränsad rörlighet.

We were told our tickets had audio guide in the Louve, this was not recognised by the venue.

This was the highlight of my 2 day trip to Paris. So glad that I was able to do this!

O ponto de encontro poderia ser em um lugar de fácil acesso para chegar de metrô e o guia deveria ficar na porta da Fundação esperando o grupo para encaminhar para o ônibus. Entramos por uma entrada e saímos por outra e perdi a orientação. Estava acompanhada da minha mãe de 81 anos que precisou andar mais do que precisava se o guia estivesse ali. Achei o tempo muito apertado e não deu para comer nada . Mas valeu a experiência!

This was the worst experience I've ever had with a ticket provider in my life, I can't wait to never book from this company ever again and I hope that my mission in life can be to stray anyone else from experiencing the same traumatic agony that this site has caused me. Our ticket was not submitted to the City Wanderers team so when we arrived with our ticket, they did not have us on the list. The support team was inconsistent in their responses and were hesitant to give me a refund only after I complained extrenuisely. My advice: book from City Wanders directly it was half the price and none of the headache. Worst experience possible.
