A complimentary 3-course lunch at the renowned Moulin de Fourges restaurant will provide the perfect opportunity to rest and savor what you saw along with fine gourmet food. The second part of the day takes you to Versailles, where reality might exceed your idea of how kings and queens once lived.

What a beautiful day in Giverny and Versailles! One of the top highlights in a weeklong trip to Paris. Our guide, Oliver, was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and engaging. We learned so much, and even m (Read More)y 9 year old was interested. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you Oliver!

We had an amazing time! Our guide was an Italian man that was absolutely wonderful! His tour at Versailles was great because he gave a short narrative and then allowed us to take it all in…remaining c (Read More)lose by in every room to answer questions. I can’t believe that he knew the answers to all of the questions from the group we were with! Monets gardens are NOT to be missed. I’ve never seen something so beautiful! And it was so amazing to see the difference in structure from the Monet gardens to the gardens of Versailles. I would highly recommend this trip! Although, I think my friend and I could’ve probably visited Versailles and Monet house on our own…the trip was wonderful and allowed us to avoid the stress of transportation logistics.

We had a great time. Our guide was great, he was very knowledgable and we learned a lot from him, but he also was good about giving us some time alone to explore by ourselves. It was totally worth it. (Read More) I will say the only down side - was the lunch, the food was pretty average and we didn't have a choice of what we could order. But it wasn't a big deal. Otherwise it was a great day and a perfect way to see Monet's house and Versailles.

The trip to Giverny and Versailles was great. Because of the Olympic Games, both were very busy, but the guide knew how to lead us carefully through the crowds. Lunch was leisurely by a river in a sma (Read More)ll village and was very tasty. Conclusion: a successful trip. Thank you for the lovely day. 👍
