1.Giverny Day Trip with Audio Guide or Live Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 2,372 reviews · 5 hours · from $93Our pick

Travel from central Paris to Claude Monet’s home in Giverny on a five-hour half-day trip. Choose a live guide such as Agnes, Alex, or Alexandra, or explore with an audio guide. See the water-lily pond, flowerbeds, house, and village, with skip-the-line entry.

“Beautiful day in Giverny. The trip went very smoothly. Agnes, our guide, was friendly, joyful, and knowledgeable. It was peak season, so the garden and house were crowded. The line for people trying to get in was extraordinarily long. It made us very happy we could skip all of that. Take a snack since there is really not time for lunch and the "snack" window in the garden is very limited. Have a late lunch when you get back to Paris.”

“Even though the weather was not perfect, with rain, cold, and wind, we really enjoyed these tours. Monet’s gardens are so beautiful! Our guide, Lara, was very knowledgeable and provided us with information both before and after the tour. At Versailles Palace, our guide was Natalie. She was also excellent and provided us with a wealth of information about the kings, queens, mistresses, and families who lived there, as well as the French history and politics of the time. Although, because of the rain and cold weather, we didn’t explore the gardens. But we still enjoyed our trip. Thank you very much, Lara and Natalie!!!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,319 reviews · 5 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $102

Travel by coach from central Paris to Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny. Walk through the flower gardens, Japanese bridge, and water lily pond, then explore the house and studio with free time. Choose an audio guide in 10 languages or a live guide such as Alex, Agnes, or Philippe.

“We had a wonderful time on the Giverny tour. Our guide, Alex, was brilliant. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled at keeping the group together and on task. We arrived at the gardens just after a rain shower, and the sun broke through, which made the flowers and water lilies even more beautiful for photos. We didn’t take the time to see the village or Monet’s house this time, but that gives us a reason to return. I’d happily recommend this tour to anyone interested in Monet and his gardens. The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the restaurant where the group met. Best to choose your own spot before…”

“An excellent tour of the garden and with plenty of opportunities for photography and questions. Our guide, Brigitte, was full of charm and wit and made the tour enjoyable, interesting and informative for our lovely small group. Unfortunately near the end I became rather unwell in the heat and she immediately made arrangements for me to sit in the shade in the dining room of Monet’s house where I could take my medication and recover until my husband and the group rejoined me. A memorable day. Thank you Brigitte.”
