Monet's garden was beautiful. We were disappointed to be dropped at Versailles at 2.45pm with tickets timed for entry at 3.30pm. One of the reasons I booked this tour was that it stated "skip the queue" at Versailles. We didn't skip the queue we wasted 45 minutes waiting for the queue we were in to move. That's not what we expected and paid for.

Monets garden was beautiful, versailles was mind blowing despite the wet weather. Tour was great for a taste of each site but would have liked more time to explore versailles. The guide were very informative. Lunch was provided and delicious.

Loved seeing the Cheatue of Versailles! I also enjoyed the lunch very much at the village of Forges and all the fancy cars there! Just seeing the countryside and areas outside of Paris was amazing in of itself! Also the village of Gitney was incredible as well seeing Monet’s house and bedroom and actual kitchen was all a very unique experience would highly recommend this tour!

The gardens at Giverny were beautiful. If we were to do it again, we would skip going through the house and simply walk the gardens. And, Versailles was amazing. It would have been nice to have more time to walk the gardens there also. The little place we had lunch was picturesque. It was an old mill along a river in a very small town. And, the food was absolutely wonderful. A great experience.

It was super crowded as all Paris is after the Olympics. Couldn’t see much in Monet’s house but gardens were lovely. Could have used another half hour of time. Versailles was absolutely mobbed and I wished we had just taken the train. Two hours wasn’t enough time to even get to all that I wanted to see.

Despite being at the meeting point 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure, failure to connect with the guide meant the tour left without me! No attempt was made to look for me as I was clearly at the cafe at the specified address, nor use the contact number I provided upon booking through Trip Advisor to make contact. After waiting for a while, assuming the pickup must be running late, noone was answering the WhatsApp number provided. When finally connected via phone, I was told the tour left as scheduled and they had just deemed me a “no show”… on a $330 day trip - highly unlikely!! This was extremely upsetting as Giverny & Versailles was a bucket list item I had scheduled on my last full day in Paris. I requested a refund which was denied in full. No responsibility taken by the company at all. Absolutely disgusted by such poor form - they have taken my money without providing the service I paid in full for. I RECOMMEND YOU GIVE PARIS CITY TOUR A BIG MISS.

The whole trip was fantastic. Tour bus was comfortable and on time. Monet's home and gardens were an impressive first stop, the restaurant that served lunch was outstanding and the Palace itself was as impressive as expected.
