I was very disappointed with the write up about the tour. It does not clarify that tickets are not included. The driver was disappointing - no offer of any music zero communication, knew nothing of where we were going. Giverney is beautiful but I would recommend another way to get to the location
Incredible experience, the gardens are beautiful. You need like 3 hours to fully tour the gardens and the house.
We did not book in advance but stood in line for tickets - which was fine on a sunny day, and it didn't take that long. There were LOTS of people, and I guess you just have to settle for that as part of the experience. It was really funny to see the water-lily pond and the little bride that you've seen in so many prints. If you're into flowers, you mustn't miss this place. The ticket also gives you access to the house, but we skipped that because we ran out of time. The toilet was a surprisingly pleasant experience.
Our driver was very professional, patient and kind. He was also a great driver. The car was very nice and extremely comfortable. Thank you! This is an easy and relaxing way to get out to Giverny. Once we were off the highway our driver made it a point to take different local roads to and from Giverny so we could see more of the surrounding towns and countryside. It was beautiful. PS - remember that this is just a private driver. You will need to get entry tickets separately. The drive from Paris ranges anywhere from 1hr 15 min to 1hr 45min. We booked our time slot at Giverny at 3:30pm. We left Paris at 1:30pm and arrived with 15 minutes of spare time.
The Monet house and gardens were nice. The drive was too long with children. The restaurant we ate at was not good! Slow, had to send a meal back.
