“This tour was the best…..Matijn our guide was so wonderful with such expertise, the time of day was perfect around 3:30 to Giverny and awesome late afternoon lighting in the gardens, and into Monet’s house around 5:00 with no que! Crowds had subsided considerably by then and you could really meditate in the beautiful surroundings! We had a group of only 6 and that was the perfect size!

“This was a return trip to Giverny and Versailles - but it had been many years and we enjoyed having our son and his wife with us to experience it too. My husband's mobility is compromised this year so we had a TravelScoot with us for him to get around. We were delighted how the guide could get us through Versailles (with some behind the scenes elevators). Giverny was harder (gravel roads, etc.), but found a lovely place to stop and get a quick bite at the end of the tour time.”

“We actually weren’t able to be attend the tour. The tour company “City Wonders” pickup location name/ address has two places in Paris with the exact address. We went to the wrong one. We were there more than 15 minutes early, when we didn’t see anyone arriving to pick us up, we reached out to the tour company and informed them of the mistake, and they were so rude and didn’t care. We understand that we wouldn’t been 23 minutes late due to the mistake, but the way the handled the situation with such little empathy and care was what upset us the most. They did r even send us…”
