Overview

Neither Versailles nor Monet’s house in Giverny are easy to reach by public transportation. Couple the ease of round-trip transfers from your central Paris hotel with the expertise of a live guide at Monet’s house, the Grand Trianon, the Petit Trianon, and Marie-Antoinette’s notorious model village. Experience the Palace of Versailles itself by audio tour, after your guide introduces it, and have free time to photograph the gardens.

Penny_D, Jun 2024

Giverny was my favorite, the fragrance of the flowers, the birds singing and the bees humming— was perfect. Our guide was very friendly and polite.
