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 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, past the water lily pond made famous in the Nymphéas 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.

The tour itself was great, Monets garden and house were very beautiful, the tour guide was goood. BUT, the tour organiser was horrible. 1) The bus SMELT LIKE SULPHUR DIOXIDE (SEWAGE) 2) Befote the way back the bus broke down before we leave, they made us wait for 45 minutes without knowing what's going to happen. Then they said that the bus can not be fixed and they need to send another bus to take us back. But the bus will need ANOTHER 2 HOURS TO ARRIVE!!!! We had to book an uber and pay an extra €150 on our own expense to go back to Paris for an hour trip!!! Very very horrible experience.
