Giverny Monet's Home & Versailles Palace Day Trip from Paris

Jaimee_W, Jul 2026

Perfect Day

Mauro was so fun and energetic. He made learning about the palace and its history engaging for everyone. He had a lot of passion. Laura was also wonderful. She was so caring and patient. When my phone battery was low, she even shared her charging cord with me. She definitely goes the extra mile for people. It was so much appreciated. The tour was perfect. We had enough time for both the Palace of Versailles/Garden and Monet's House/Garden. It was the perfect way to spend the day.

Versailles Palace Bike Tour with Market & Marie-Antoinette hamlet

Annalise_C, Jul 2026

Great value for your money!

We had a great experience with this tour! In my opinion, biking is the only way to cover all of the ground of Versailles, as the grounds are huge! Our guide was very informative and helpful; he gave us lots of recommendations and samples when we went to the market to get our lunch as well. The tour group was about 10 people, which we felt was perfect; everyone was very friendly on our tour as well!
