Embark on a journey to Claude Monet’s bloom-bursting estate at Giverny and learn about the hugely influential Impressionist art movement. Travel from Paris to the quaint country village of Giverny by air-conditioned coach. On the drive, which takes around an hour, your guide will provide a detailed explanation of the day’s agenda
Stop atFondation Claude Monet
Your first stop is the Fondation Claude Monet where you’ll be treated to a brief but informative introduction to the estate where the Impressionist master made his home. After the orientation tour, you are free to explore the House and Gardens of Monet at your leisure using a convenient self-guided audio app. Stroll around the lily pad-peppered ponds of the garden that were made famous by Monet’s own masterpieces. Admire the fabulous explosion of blooms which change depending on the season. Make your way around the artist’s ivy-clad house which has been restored to show how it would have appeared during the painter’s lifetime. You can also grab lunch in one of the town’s tranquil bars or restaurants which exude provincial charm. After lunch, we’ll regroup and make the short trip back to Paris with enough time to spare for you to enjoy another fun-filled activity in Paris. Take advantage of this unparallel experience to one of France's most photographable and unique destinations.

Informative tour with a great guide, Rotri! Easy trip from downtown Paris. Would recommend for a quick half day trip. A must do before Museum D’L Orangerie
Fantastic visit, enhanced by our tour guide Kadir

Our recent trip to Monet’s house and gardens was truly memorable. The coach ride was excellent, largely thanks to Kadir, our guide, who provided an informative PowerPoint presentation and a talk on the history of Monet. As someone who didn’t know much about Monet beforehand, I found this extremely helpful and engaging.
The bus itself was comfortable, although I did notice that it was a bit dirty behind the seat. Despite this minor issue, Kadir’s directions and guidance were spot-on, making sure we knew exactly where to go and how to make the most of our time. He also did a great job of ensuring everyone got back to the bus safely.
We had two and a half hours to explore Monet’s stunning gardens and home. Even though it rained during our visit, the experience was still lovely. We managed to explore the house and gardens before the rain starts. Although, there’s something magical seeing Giverny in the rain.
A special congratulations to Kadir on recently passing his fashion degree in Paris! Good luck on getting the job in fashion! His passion and knowledge certainly shone through during the trip. Overall, it was a wonderful day, enhanced by Kadir’s efforts. Highly recommended!
Lovely day trip with very...

Lovely day trip with very knowledgeable guide. She shared history of our destination all along the way there and pointed out things once we were there as well.
Giverny was well worth the time. Beautiful space.

Our tour guided Eya explained everything very clearly about what to expect and we had time to do it on our own for 2 1/2 hrs
