1.From Paris: Giverny Day Trip with Audio Guide or Live Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 2,372 reviews · 5 hours · from $93Our pick

Travel from central Paris to Giverny by air-conditioned coach, then explore Claude Monet’s house, flower gardens, and famous water garden. Choose a live guide, audio guide, or independent visit. The five-hour outing includes skip-the-line entry, but limited free time means you should plan your route before arriving.

“This tour is a MUST. Our guide Agnes attended to all guests respectfully. As I chose half day tour her guidance with highlighting important elements of the garden ensured I saw everything in a short period of time. I learned so many new facts about Monet that only added to the visit. The cost is well worth it, especially to ensure your safety . Three passengers did not join the bus at the clearly conveyed meet-up time. She held the bus for 30 minutes to accommodate those people that did not listen to directions. She didn't leave any behind. You won't get this personal attention anywhere except a private tour…”
