26 July. The house and gardens were quite beautiful. The coach driver was excellent. Unfortunately the pickup address email 2 days prior was incorrect and the return drop off address was in a different part of Paris which we did not know!

Monets garden and house at Giverny are well worth the visit, very beautiful! BUT … No air con on bus so extremely hot and sticky! Go on your own so you have more time, you need more than 2 hours to explore properly. Also few wearing face masks on bus, Covid 2 days later.

Very enjoyable visit led by a friendly and knowledgable guide who provided interesting commentary on the coach journey. The audio guide was a great addition while at the house and gardens with lots of background information about Monet and the area.
