We booked a trip with your company to go to Giverny Gardens and Versailles and the bus DID NOT COME! 2 groups were left behind. We WERE there at 8:15 as requested. We called and called. Someone finally answered and hung up on me. Called again a woman told me the bus left. The other group that was left behind got a WhatsApp message. SEE ATTACHED. The message said they DID have verification that we were there ON TIME so they don't know what happened. The agent who responded to my WhatsApp message stated that there were only 2 out of 22 groups that did not show up. How could 22 groups get on a bus at 8:15 a.m. yet we didn't see any of those people? How could 22 groups be at that little cafe in the rain, which by the way is a dumb place to meet? On top of the verification that WE WERE THERE, as per the ATTACHED, an agent for a different group was there all morning and he said that the "guy in the red jacket" that we were supposed to meet was NOT there ALL morning.
A perfect day!

The guide, Clemance, immediately began our tour and gave us interesting information as we passed by places. She made the entire tour interesting and fun. Giverney was made even more memorable with the facts that she shared with us on the way. She gave a biography on Monet’s life that made me appreciate him even more! Lunch was at a lovely old mill restored to a bed and breakfast and restaurant. It was very peaceful, and we enjoyed our menu selections! Versailles came to life as Clemance gavé us an in-depth tour. We got some wonderful pictures and have even better memories of it. Seriously, this is the best tour we ever had, and we have done many private tours in European countries! Many thanks for giving us such a perfect day!
Nice day/good experience

Our guide Clemence was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to spend the day with... The day's order was flipped without our knowledge, so we started at Givenchy and ended at Versailles. We were a little crunched for time, but Clemence was wonderful and gave us a lot of information in a very short timeframe. Also, the lunch at Givenchy was outstanding (just one added benefit).
Best way to see and learn about Monet’s Garden and Versailles

Great time with a incredible guide who shared her deep knowledge of Claude Monet and his gardens. Had a wonderful lunch followed by a beautiful tour of Versailles. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to truly experience the beauty of Paris
