Very organized and wonderful tour. Highly recommend. We had a great guide who was a wealth of information. Highly recommend!

Christopher_M

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!

Cindy_M

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.

Very well organized. Great driver, comfortable bus, patient and knowledgeable guide. Lucy was an exceptional surprise.

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.

The tour guide was so unprofessional, attitude, temper, unfriendly, told us to listen as he would not repeat himself. Audio system was terrible and when in the bus talking he mumble so much, thought he was falling asleep. He should be a bill collector. I’m not the only one who felt this way, conversing with over half of the attendees, they all felt this way and was not worthy of a tip. The tour itself, the Monet portion was great, very good lunch but Versailles portion was rushed, not enough time for us to walk the grounds, needed another half hour, 30min wasn’t enough. Driver was very considerate of the passengers. Andre, you’re in the wrong business, you’re not a people person.

Gary_P

The most memorable was paying for an audio tour and not getting audio. To left to our own divises to wonder through Monets gardens and Palace of Versailles by ourselves with no idea what anything was no we would not recommend this tour.

Irvin_U

I am writing to you about our guided tour to the museum d’Orsay the day before you sent us an email saying that our tour been canceled that’s terrible. I was emailing you texting you and calling you to say we have never received the tickets and you never got back to me. I will never recommend your company for anything, and I will tell my friends about this experience, thank you were I guess for refunding my money, but I would rather of had the tour

Both Giverny and Versailles were so crowded that it was barely enjoyable. While I know that is not the fault of Viator or the tour guides, they could have given us additional information to help us better navigate the crowds. We never got inside Monet's house because we went to the garden first, then the line to the house was too long. We only had 90 minutes total. The apartments in Versailles were so packed that we couldn't move and I almost had an anxiety attack. They also should have told us there was a train and golf carts to rent in the gardens. That way, we could have seen a lot more of the grounds in the short time we were allotted. Lunch was quite lovely though.
