★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 755 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $392

Small-group day trip from Paris to Giverny and Versailles with timed entry, guided highlights, and a 3-course lunch with drinks.

“This is a very good day expedition! I touted itself as a "small group" (less than 8), but clearly several "small groups" were combined, as there were more like 20-25 people. But, the adventure itself is very well organized and delightful. Giverny is simply beautiful! It is pretty far from Paris, but worth the bus ride. And Versailles is a crowded "must-see," made more enjoyable with the skip-the-line group advantage. I must say that my favorite part of the day was the lunch stop at an excellent restaurant in Normandy, which included great food and wine. This trip is pricey, but well worth it, even with a bit bigger group…”

“The trip to Giverny was great. Our guide was Hendricks.He was pleasant and gave informative info and showed photos to small groups on the bus to and from Giverny. Seeing inside Monet’s house was wonderful, the gardens were lovely. Hendricks left our group before we traveled to Versailles to pickup a different guide. The trip to Versailles was nice. However, our new guide, Frederick was not so nice! Once we got into the palace, had a restroom stop, etc. we had an unpleasant issue with Frederick. My sister and I are in our late 70’s and were already tired from the Monet tour. We asked if we could use the…”

Waited 45 mins and then called viator who said they will contact my driver and assured they was going to be on their way. Another 30 mins later no sign so called back only to be told on the phone our trip was full…”
