The tour started late so we had 90 minutes which was not a sufficient amount of time in our opinion. We were hoping to visit the little town as well but time did not permit. We felt rushed and disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful so glad we did tour.it rained all day but feeling there was amazing .The house was like stepping back in time,just gorgeous. Definitely do it if you can won't be dissappointed

Laura_H

The visit to Monet's Gardens was a fun adventure, but it was much too little time there as compared to the travel time to and from Giverny. We didn't have much education about either the gardens or Monet's life/family/experiences at Giverny, which was disappointing.

MaryAnn_C

Guide,Alex, was great and able to keep a group of 30 together. The gardens were beautiful but unable to enjoy the peacefulness because the crowds were so large and paths so crowded.

Gabrielle_M

The setting was lively. The guide was very likeable but spoke too fast and too much. It was difficult to understand her Kudos to our driver who was extremely patient in a very long traffic jam at the end of the day

Marlene_S

The gardens were beautiful, but the crowds were massive. You could barely walk through the paths to enjoy the area. Our group was much too large with 38 people and we could not catch up with the guide once we entered the gardens. We we ended up exploring on our own. The guide was lovely, but the size of the group was unmanageable.

Kathleen_H

The gardens are lovely. The tour guide tried her best but there were too many people assigned to the tour (38) and the head set sounds were unintelligible. The gardens were extremely overground with people. The bus ride was comfortable but the bus restrooms were closed apparently since covid times.

Elizabeth_S

Giverny - Monet's house and garden - was absolutely wonderful. The guided half day trip was not. Significantly more time is needed simply to enjoy the house and garden, let alone the village of Giverny. It would also be nice if options had been apparent to us beforehand, e.g., taking a morning bus out and returning on the evening one.

Ron_W

Such a wonderful experience! Our guide Alexandria brought the memory of Claude Monet alive along our travels to and within the gardens and home of the estate. Photos do not truly share the beauty of this little slice of heaven but will do for now. Well worth the 1.5 hour bus ride and highly recommend this trip b

Alan_M

Alex was wonderful. Extremely misleading. Says little over an hour one way by bus, impossible. More time spent I. Transit than at the gardens. Waste of money.
