We loved this tour. We would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to see Monet's house and gardens in Giverny and the palace at Versailles. Our driver Stan was great and so were the tours and lunch. There was plenty of time to see everything and the whole day was stress-free because all the details were taken care of by City Discovery. A fabulous day!!

Excellent guide. He was very informative, friendly, and helpful. He used the driving time to give us good background information to put what we saw at the sites into context.

Sophie, our tour guide was excellent. She told us interesting facts and other tidbits about the sights we passed etc. that we wouldn't have found in tour books. The only reservation I had was the cost. For example, in contrast, the day trip of the same length to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath was half the price. Now I must be fair. Windsor Castle trip took place on a large tour bus & did not include a lunch or hotel pickup/drop off, however, I felt that the price was still a little steep. We very much enjoyed Versailles and especially Giverny. Wonderful!

I would have liked some commentary during the bus trip to geverny and Versailles. We had to keep asking questions such as is that the Forest of Fontainebleau? or what town is that? otherwise it was the highlight of my trip , especially Giverny. Thank you. I'm glad I went on the tour..

Our Tour Guide was excellent and made the day. Not enough time in Versailles to see everything---probably due to the crowds.

Giverny was great. Versailles choked with people. Do not go there on Sunday. Driver and transport were excellent.

I first did this tour back in 2006 and found it very enjoyable. This year, my husband was with me experiencing his first trip to France. We both enjoyed the trip, however were disappointed with the lunch provided. The driver was personable...much better than on our City Discovery Tour.

Loved Giverny. A gardeners paradise.
The Versailles palace should probably have been visited in a whole day tour as the palace was packed to the point of claustrophobia in the afternoon, and there was not enough time to visit the grounds as well as the palace.

My friends and I loved the tour, but were disappointed that we were not on the same tour even though we let City Discovery know when we booked it that we were traveling together and wanted to be on the same tour. We were staying in different hotels, and ended up on different tours.

All 5 of us had fun (amidst the uncertainty of strikes in Paris).

The flowers and museum at Giverny was fabulous. Versailles was very crowded on that Sunday.

The highlight for us was the terrific guide - best ever. Also the venue for the included lunch was well above average. When we return to Paris will certainly do other City Discovery tours.

Our tour guide was 45 minutes late picking us up. Too much time at lunch (a full hour) when most were finished in almost half that time. Would have loved to spend more time at Versailles, less at lunch. Although lunch is in a very beautiful area. The places visited were fantastic and our guide gave us good information in the van.

I would recommend this only for speed and convenience. The tour package itself did not provide any extra benefit other than a group of individuals to ride with to the destination and the ride itself (and lunch). 1.5 hours to cover Versailles was tragically short changing the immensity of the site.

Giverny was fabulous; the restaurant and food were great, the guide, Diane, was a sweetheart and excellent driver. My sister and I didn't care for Versailles - too gaudy, but that is just our personal opinion.
