1.From Paris: Giverny, Monet’s Home & Gardens Half-Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,887 reviews · 6 hours - 690 minutes · from $89Our pick

Half-day coach trip from Paris to Claude Monet’s home in Giverny. Stroll the gardens, tour the house with an audio app, and upgrade to Versailles.

“Amazing trip. Very smooth. Great guide who gave comprehensive information throughout the trip. Since the tour was full (50 or so people) and the Monet garden was packed, it may have been nice to have two guides to help with navigating the gardens since some people had to work their way back to the group in the crowd”

3.Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,948 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $242

A full-day Paris coach trip pairing Claude Monet in Giverny, a 3-course lunch at Moulin de Fourges, and Versailles’ palace and gardens.

“It is very handy to be able to get to both venues in one day. Our guide was lovely. Lunch was at a charming old mill venue and just right. Versailles was about as minimal a walk through of both palace and gardens as could be. So, if time is short, this is a good option. If you really want to take your time and perhaps get more in depth access to Versailles especially, consider a booking that includes more of the private areas.”

14.From Paris: Monet Gardens & Giverny Bike Tour with Picnic Stop

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 513 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $143

Bike from Vernon to Giverny for Monet’s gardens plus a market picnic by the Seine. Loaner bikes, helmets, and round-trip transport.

“The bike ride was too difficult for me and it was pouring rain and there was no alternate plan for arrival to Giverny. The guide was excellent and the gardens are a must-see. But be aware that if you are not a skilled rider, and able to climb hills just take an ordinary tour. This tour consists of stopping in a village near Giverny to purchase your own picnic lunch, riding to a park to eat your lunch, and then riding 2 miles to Giverny, where you walk through the gardens and museum/house, then ride back. Again, Giverny is beautiful and a must-see while in the Paris region, but only…”
