Late April is a great time to see the gardens --so much color! Guide Alexandra was excellent, gently herding the group that wanted a guided tour. There was an option to see on own as well.

If you are pressed for time, taking a tour bus *might* be a good way to see Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny. However, the audio guide didn’t work for me, the customer service orientation was not good, and the bus was packed and smelled bad. After getting to Giverny, hordes of tourists crowded the area and the pictures I managed to take did not belie the stress experienced by a lady ramming into me to get a better view of the bridge and feeling like appreciation of the gardens was stilted by a constantly moving line. If I were to visit Giverny again, I would choose to take the train by myself or maybe rent a car and I would more peacefully and leisurely spend the day with admiring the gardens, the museums, and having lunch. A solid 2 hours and 30 minutes is spent on the bus, 30 minutes (15 each way) are spent walking from parking into the main area of the town, and there were just shy of 2 hours for visiting the house and gardens. Very rushed and unpleasant experience. OH and, aside from 2-3 clips, my audio guide didn’t work! You have to scan a QR code to listen to pre-recorded clips dictated by a man whose voice seems designed to put you to sleep. After a few clips, there was no sound. The attitude of Paris City Vision was that they’re not responsible and that’s that. Do not go on a Paris City Vision tour to Giverny! I learned very little outside of my own explorations. I really should have just gone on my own.

Giverny is a great place. Unfortunately, way too crowded to appreciate. Audio guide not very useful. Guide was ok but not too helpful and didn’t add anything to the experience.

Gina_V

I bought a guided tour in Spanish, unfortunately the tour was always in English. The agency did not communicate in it.

Lynda_P

The gardens were beautiful in the spring. I have been there in the summer so it was totally different. The flowers were gorgeous

Arlene_S

This is a place that every tourist to Paris should see. Being on this tour made the excursion doable. It is too far to try to maneuver on our own with trains. Our guide Alexandra was wonderful. She gave a running commentary the whole tour. I learned so much. Unfortunately, it happened to be a school holiday so the grounds were mobbed with people. But the grounds are beautiful. The flowers are amazing. And as I said, I learned so much!

Megan_C

Traveling in July allowed us to see the water lilies. The grounds were stunning. Definitely worth a half a day’s trip.

Audrey_E

I really enjoyed visiting the gardens and Monet’s house. It was better than I expected. The grounds were lovely even in October. I would recommend doing the self guided tour.

Karen_H

I enjoyed taking photos of the flowers and Monet's house. The reproductions of his art was lovely to see.

PIERRE_V

Although extremely crowded, still worthwhile . Beautiful kept gardens, the foundation foes a great job with this property upkeep
