Overview

Like nature? Love Impressionism? Read on! Let us whisk you away on a half-day trip to the village of Giverny, where Monet and the other Impressionists set up home in the 19th Century. After a short one-and-a-half-hour ride from Paris, you'll find yourself in this quaint little village in Normandy, where you'll visit Monet's exquisite house and gardens. Your art historian guide will animate your tour around the flowerbeds that proved a source of inspiration for Monet, pass the water lily pond made famous in the Nymphs series and across the Japanese bridge that pops up so often in his work. Then you'll explore Monet's house, almost untouched by the passage of time.

Know More about this tour

Fan of Monet? Want to see where he lived and the garden that inspired him? Your wish is our command with this half-day trip!

Expect a feast for your eyes on this half-day tour to Claude Monet's home in Giverny. After an hour and a half from Paris on your air-conditioned coach, you'll alight at Monet's property and extensive gardens, where he indulged in his green-fingered passion.

First, you'll visit the front gardens and orchards with your expert guide, to gaze upon an array of vivid blooms (depending on the season). Next, you'll be enthralled to see the legendary water lily pond in real life and cross the oft-painted Japanese bridge. Don't forget to take a few pics and be the star of your own Impressionist-style landscapes! Take a while to enjoy the tranquility of the weeping willows and bamboo trees. Then on to Monet's house, painstakingly restored to its former glory.

Explore Monet's abode and admire his private art collection, a huge fan of Japanese engravings, he amassed one of the largGare de l|est collections in the world. Make sure to stop by the excellent souvenir shop before you leave to peruse, and maybe purchase, reproductions of Monet's paintings, crockery, table sets and even flower seeds (if you fancy recreating the gardens back home!). Then it's back to Paris in the comfort of your coach.

Beautiful gardens and interesting home. It was raining but still very enjoyable. The guide was good, nice, and helpful. The bus was very comfortable. Would recommend as a no frills and easy way to visit.
Brenda W 03-Jul-2019

The tour guide provided good information on the bus from Paris to Giverny but stopped after we got to Giverny and she reviewed the map of the premises with our group. I was surprised as I thought we had paid for a guided tour and this fell short. We loved the gardens and the experience of walking ...

This was something I had wanted to do for a long time, and when I realised the departure point was very close to my hotel in Paris, it was ideal. The instructions on the ticket were to be at the departure point 15 minutes before. My friend and I were there earlier than that and it was chaos. Too ...

Guide was very average. Needs to polish up on her customer service skills. Also, she was difficult to understand . Had minimal patience

The price seemed high for this limited tour. The coach was comfortable but it was somewhat disappointing.

An outstanding trip to an iconic location. The tour guide was great and provided just enough information, but left us sufficient time for perusing the garden and house. Prompt and efficient departure and perfectly sufficient communication of details in advance. Merci!

our guide was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Monet’s garden is beautiful and well worth the trip. We would highly recommend allowing more time. We took so many pictures at the gardens that we did not have enough time to tour the adorable village surrounding Monet’s home.

This is for a review for a tour done on September 19th, 2018. Great way to spend a half-day doing some sight-seeing. This tour was through ParisCityVision tours. You check in and board a bus that takes you directly to Giverny. A tour guide is assigned to the group and gives great history of Money ...

Overall the trip was OK but expensive for the value received. We enjoyed the bus trip and visit, but our guide Rosanne was terrible. She talked too fast, was difficult to understand, and the few instructions she gave were hard to interpret! We also recommend that the educational talk be held off ...

The bus ride through Paris, there and back, was quite informative. But once we got to Giverny, it was just a run through the gardens and house which were packed with other tourists. It was way too crowded to see much or to capture the mood of the place. We were very disappointed.
