Overview

Think of France and what comes to mind? Chances are the Palace of Versailles and the Impressionists are up there in your top ten. However fleeting your visit, you do have time to experience a bit of both, thanks to our day trip from Paris. Ever wanted to step into one of Monet’s paintings? Your wish is our command! Wander through the lush gardens of the artist’s residence, inspiration for his Nympheas, among others. After lunch, head to Versailles, royal pad to three King Louis. From the moment you approach this imposing Palace, we dare you not to gasp at its lavish splendor. In fact, you’ll probably keep your mouth open for the rest of your visit!

The Monet portion of this tour was fantastic. I enjoyed walking the grounds where Monet lived and painted. The place was rushed and we skipped most of the inside of the palace. We were really disappointed that the guide had us wait outside for over an hour in the heat and then rushed the palace in 30 minutes.

We missed the bus, was told the tour went to Versailles, arrived at Versailles to find the tour had firstly gone to Giverny I wish to request a refund.

We went to the home of Monet.the garden was very large with multiple areas. The house was smaller than expected but very unique.

We were overcharged significantly when we received our credit card bill ($400 over for two ppl!) BEWARE of fraudulent charges. We've requested a partial refund so hopefully they will do the right thing. The guide was difficult to understand partly due to his thick eastern European accent and the crappy earphones. It's a very long day. I suggest breaking up Monet and Versailles tours. We had only 10 mins to explore Versailles gardens... that was disappointing.
