Best way to see both Versailles and Giverny
Spencer_N, May 2024
Chris was an incredible tour guide. We managed to avoid the crowds and there is no way we could have seen as much or gained as much insight without a private tour.
10/10 Recommend!
Hannah_G, Dec 2023
Standing at the edge of Monet's pond and hearing about all of his time at Giverny was amazing. Our guide brought us to the most beautiful/delicious cafe for lunch at Versailles, and guided us through the palace with expert historical guidance. He also dropped us off at another location in Paris to help our day run more smoothly. Well worth the money!
Ok not great

Nice having a private guide and transportation. The lunch wasn’t very good and the communication about the pick up could have been better.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Dear Susanne, Thank you very much for your feedback. We are extremely happy that you enjoyed your tour with us and once again thank you for taking the time to write this feedback. We will transfer your feedback to the restaurant for them to improve their menus. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you again in France very soon. Have a lovely day. Regards from Paris. Fred

My mom and I had an excellent time with our tour guide Zara. She was kind and extremely knowledgeable, sharing important historical background while keeping everything interesting.
Wonderful

Chris was a wealth of information and told us so many interesting things about Versailles and Monet. We loved this excursion and would recommend it to anybody. The lunch was very disappointing and almost inedible.
Fantastic, knowledgeable,...
Scott_V, Aug 2023
Fantastic, knowledgeable, accommodating, punctual guide kept us ahead of crowds when possible and navigated us through the crowds when they were unavailable. Encyclopedic knowledge of Giverny and Versailles.
Wonderful Tour!
Leslie_K, Jul 2023
This was an excellent and truly memorable day spent at both Versailles and Monet’s home and gorgeous gardens in Giverny. Comfortable vehicle and an expert guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable, interesting and a pleasure to spend the day with. Appreciated her expertise in planning the day in the best way to avoid crowds and keeping us on schedule. We loved visiting both Versailles and Giverny, as well as the relaxing break to enjoy a delicious lunch at the charming restaurant in Giverny. The additional sites along the drive made us want to return to spend more time in Normandy and the French countryside in the future. Highly recommended!
Perfect day exploring Versailles, Giverny and Monet’s Gardens!
Pam_Z, May 2023
We absolutely LOVED our day spent exploring Versailles Monets Garden and Giverny! Our tour guide Zara was absolutely amazing - seriously the best and incredibly accommodating! The day started out a little overcast and chilly but as we arrived in Giverny the clouds parted ways to the most perfect blue skys- lunch at the most adorable French restaurant was delicious and perfect and words cannot express how much we enjoyed Monet’s Gardens - simply spectacular! I highly recommend this tour!!
Highly recommend - great tour guide
Emily_P, May 2023
Our tour guide Chris was fantastic! He picked us up promptly at 8:30am, drove us with expertise, answered all of our questions and provided us a memorable day seeing both Giverny and Versailles. It was a perfect experience for our party of 5.
Interesting and memorable with attention to detail and history.
Andrea_M, May 2023
We saw both Giverney and Versailles. Both were amazing! Julian was an excellent guide. We loved the drive where he was able to discuss the history of Monet and the Palace. He made sure to drive through some of the beautiful parts of each city. The little details he added made the day especially interesting and memorable!
Perfect Paris Day in Versailles and Giverny

Zara was amazing! She was...
Robyn_C, Apr 2023
Zara was amazing! She was on top of everything and it was planned and timed perfectly. Would highly recommend. So knowledgeable.
Best tour by far!
Timothy_H, Oct 2022
Our guide, Zara, was awesome. Very knowledgeable. Our second visit to Giverny. The private tour really enhances the experience. We visited Versailles first. Skipped all lines with private entrance. She was able to get us in before the crowds. Very flexible with free time. Lunch at Giverny was delicious and in a garden setting.

Leslie_C, Oct 2022
Our tour guide was Michelle. She was GREAT. From the moment we got picked up from the hotel till we got dropped off, it was storytelling time on neighborhood we passes by and all the fascinating stories on Monte and Versailles. Merci Michelle, you’ve made our girls trip a memorable one!
A fabulous day!!
melinda_h, Oct 2022
Through Viator, Fred at Parismatic Tours was amazing to work with, especially in organizing the right size van our our group. And Michele was a fabulous guide! Not only did she know all the historical facts about Paris, Versailles and Giverny, she spoke in depth about the paintings we saw, and added little-known bits of fun facts not in the history books. We had a fabulous day!!!!
Wonderful tour - Chris...

I wish I would of used Babylon for this tour. He drove us to Monets garden and dumps us off while he socialized with friends. While at Versailles he used headsets that didn’t work properly. Definitely wasn’t impressive.

Hello, We think that it's not the appropriate way to do an advertising for other companies. Thank you for understanding. Sincerely, Nicolas
