Decent tour of two beautiful places
Deborah_D, Jun 2025
Both places were extremely crowded but worthwhile. We couldn't get into Monet's house due to crowds and time constraints but the gardens were splendid in full bloom. Lunch at the mill was poor but we enjoyed the place. Despite the crowds, we were able to see everything in Versailles which was magnificent. All in all, it was a worthwhile trip. Just a note of caution, an audio tour requires you to bring headphones and download an app to listen to the descriptions. This is not clearly stated that you do not get a Whisperer device.

Landra_O, May 2025
Loved this experience. The gardens the home and the GIVERNY trip was great. The Versailles portion was not so good. Could not understand the guide very well. Left entrance ticket on bus. Driver left. Guide disappeared so I did not get to go in but all the others did. We had fun despite the difficulties
