Julian was our guide and he was exceptionally knowledgeable. He was patient with all my questions and really to time to explain the key things we saw. It was an exceptional experience and I highly recommend it.
Lovely experience even on one of the hottest days. Our tour guide and driver Fabrice was excellent- very considerate of my mother's handicapped needs and and a fabulous tour guide. We all learned a lot about the surrounding countryside and the specific places we visited. We had special entry at Versailles for her. The Mercedes was an extremely comfortable ride as well!! Highly recommend this tour and ask for Fabrice if you can!
This is a wonderful trip to share as a family. One full day of both Giverny and Versailles with lunch was the best experience. Our guide, Chris, was prompt, informative and helpful. So glad we did it. The vehicle was comfortable and my teen and tween grandchildren learned so much about both places. They loved it and loved our guide/driver Chris!
Rozann was an excellent guide to these beautiful sites!! The lunch was delicious, and I could not recommend more!
Extremely knowledgeable guide that made both experiences seamless and fun while we learned a ton! Was fabulous with our kids aged 5 and 9.
Rozann was outstanding! She was organized, so knowledgeable and a real pleasure to spend the day with! Worth every penny for the private tour and transfer. She took care of all tickets for admission and made sure we didn’t have to wait long in lines. Made arrangements for a delicious lunch in Giverny. Very efficient but made sure we weren’t rushed. We look forward to returning to Paris one day and asking Rozann to take us on another tour! Thank you for a perfect day!❤️
We once again had an amazing guide that was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. Would book again 100%.
Full day tour to Giverny & Versailles included a wonderful lunch at Giverny and all tickets for quick access
Priate tours are great because thaty can be customized to your preferences and it's easy to get into the places you're visiting - becasue the group is typically much smaller. Our guide was excellent in tailoring the day to our desires.
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.
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!
Nice having a private guide and transportation. The lunch wasn’t very good and the communication about the pick up could have been better.

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.
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, 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.
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!
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!!
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.
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!
Felt that our guide was very knowledgeable and met our every need smoothly. (Wheelchair appeared effortlessly when one was needed). He was companionable, interesting and fun. Great day.
Zara was amazing! She was on top of everything and it was planned and timed perfectly. Would highly recommend. So knowledgeable.
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.

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!
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 was terrific and made our day truly enjoyable! Highly recommend him and the Versailles/Giverny combination.

B was an awesome tour guide with a great personality. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made our day so special!
Incredible experience! Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. Superior service and treasured memories made!
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
So appreciated the door-to-door service. Our tour guide, Lillette, was a font of knowledge about history and art! She was wonderful and thoughtful in accommodating our family’s varied needs as we were a family of 6 with octogenarians and teenagers.
