Wonderful Experience at Giverny - Great tour and guide. Giverny is beautiful. The gardens are wonderful and the house was interesting too.

Picture perfect! - While we took the self guided tour, our guide, Alexandra was so kind and helpful in how to make the most of our time. She had excellent knowledge not only of Monet's gardens and home, but of the sites we passed on the travel to and from the site. We highly recommend this half day tour and our guide, Alexandra!

Wonderful trip to Giverny - 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.

Memorable - The gardens were beautiful and memorable. I would suggest that you make your tours all guided rather than some with the guide and others not. We left our bus and were totally lost as to how to find the entrance and move through the exhibit. Most of the people on the bus were taking guided tours, but through a misunderstanding on our part, we did not select that option. It just didn’t make sense to have some taking part and others not.

Inadequate information from tour guide - The gardens were beautiful. The site was lovely. The ‘sortie’ signs were not clear; the guide gave the wrong description of the bus for returning purposes;; bus was NOT in the parking area when we retuned nor were we told that the bus would be leaving the parking area while we toured gardens. Very disconcerting to find that upon returning to the parking lot out tour bus was no where to be seen.

Audio tour flaw - This was to have been an audio guided tour, but we were not told that it would be a download to our cell phones or that we would have to have our own earbuds to have the tour be private to us. In addition, one of us didn’t have a cell phone, so didn’t get to do anything. Other grouis on The same bus got quiet boxes and earphones and many of us got essentially nothing usable.

Skip - We were not given any audio for this. we didn't have internet which you need to get the audio. no mention when booking. Waste of money train would have been a better choice.

Giverny is a great place.... - 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.

Terrible misrepresented tour! - This was a terrible experience Not at all as described when we ordered tickets. It said the bus ride was a little over an hour. When we got on the bus, the tour guide said some freeway was closed so it would take an hour and a half. Well it took an hour and 45 minutes to arrive! Then we were so pressed for time during the tour. She said they added on 15 minutes. really? all of that should have been disclosed in the description. Also the self guided tour is BS. My phone got no internet service out there, and on my partners phone the sound went on and off! DO NOT BUY THIS TOUR and because of the 2 hour bus ride, we missed our dinner reservation back in Paris.

QR code audio guide didn’t work, ultra rushed, not much of a tour, bad customer service - 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.
