Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris

I am so glad that I booked this tour. I didn't have to worry about getting to these attractions, everything was done for me. Our tour guide was very informative and knew exactly what to do. The lunch that we had was amazing. I felt sorry for all the people that had to waste their time standing in a long line!

Pamela our guide made sure we enjoyed the tour. We were a group of six and she kept us engaged the entire time on a very long day. Hitting both places in one day was ambitious but Pamela knew all the ways to make the day run smoothly and efficiently. Although she herself gave the guided tour of Versailles, She provided us ample time to wander own our own in the palace gardens and at Monet’s house and garden. Great tour. Interesting and informative and allowed us to have only one day outside of Paris instead of two, which worked well with out schedule. If there were any shortcoming on the trip, it is the lunch. Gorgeous and charming setting, but the entre left something to be desired. Otherwise, we loved the tour in every way.

The tour successfully contrasted the simplicity of Giverny to the opulence of Versailles Excellent guide who made sure we had not only an enjoyable but also an informative day. Small group was ideal.Transfer well organised and lunch quality so far above any tour lunch I have experienced. Would highly recommend.

This was a fantastic experience!! It was quite a lot to do in one day, but it was well worth it. Our group was small, which makes such a big difference, and our guide was very knowledgeable about Versailles.

This was a great educational experience the guide was excellent Versaille was amazing and Givernay tranquil and beautiful

I cannot rave about this tour enough. Seeing both INCREDIBLE sights in one day is essential & this tour is the only one for it! Our tour guide Nick was nothing short of amazing & made our tour so special. He was informative, helpful & not at all annoying like some tour guides can be, The place they take you to for lunch was phenomenal & so incredibly gorgeous. The van is very spacious & the air conditioning is great (& essential!) This tour is worth every penny & I could not recommend it enough. Request Nick as your guide for the best tour ever!

I called Paris City Vision as requested, 3 days prior to schedule our pick-up for our trip to Giverny and Versailles. I then called the day prior to our scheduled trip and confirmed that our apartment was on a pedestrian only access walkway and would the tour company prefer for us to meet the driver at a more vehicle-friendly site. We were assured NO, the driver will come find us. On the appointed day we were to be picked-up at 8:30. We sat in the apartment with no one arriving. At 8:45 I began calling the tour company attempting to reach them, making 6 calls, but no one answered the phone. No one ever called us, no one came to the apartment to take us on the trip. I would never us Paris City Vision again, and by extension I will also no longer use Viator.

Cecilia, our guide was terrific and we had a great time. Definitely a wonderful trip. A wonderful stop for a meal in Normandy is included. The pace was just right and we returned in time for more fun in Paris.

We were left stranded at Monet in Giverny. We were not told what parking lot the driver was in and could not find our group. We called the Viator office a dozen times to tell the driver to please pick us up. We were told to wait and he would come get us. After about an hour more we found out he just left us stranded. We were later told to take a taxi to meet him. Impossible to find a taxi in Giverny. Finally a store owner came to our rescue and called a friend who drove a taxi. I spent an additional 170 Euros to get him to drive us to Versailles to try to find the group which we did. We missed hours of the day waiting for the driver, almost $200 extra for the taxi , missed lunch and no apology from the driver who could care less. On the way home from Versailles the rest of our group could not find the van because he told them to meet at a certain spot but forgot he told them that. We stayed with him the whole time because of our prior experience. Also, he was the only tour guide who did not hold up anything to find him while walking around thousands of people. Very bad experience. get us to Versailles to meet the group. He had just abanded us and he nor the office could care less.,

Our Guide and Driver, Julian was excellent. Experienced exactly what we were looking for - Giverny was a bit too crowded to really enjoy the gardens but overall we loved seeing the highlights of both places. The included lunch in a Normandy Countryside restaurant was an amazing surprise. While we could have spent an entire day at each place, seeing the highlights with an experienced and knowledgeable guide made the long day well worth it. 8 total in the group was just the right size.
