About this tour
Travel from Paris to Giverny in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with your own English-speaking driver who shares local history en route. You'll have five hours to explore the village and gardens that shaped Claude Monet's artistic vision, with the option to hire a professional guide for deeper interpretation. This is a door-to-door service built around your pace, not a fixed itinerary—wander Monet's property, visit his house, or simply sit by the water lilies as long as you wish.

What to expect
Your driver will collect you from your Paris hotel or address and drive you to Giverny, sharing details about the region's art history along the way. Once you arrive, you're free to spend your time as you choose—most visitors spend 2–3 hours exploring the gardens and house at their own pace. The gardens are spectacular but can be crowded; consider arriving early or late afternoon for quieter moments. If you've booked a guide, they'll meet you at the property to walk you through Monet's influences and techniques. Your driver will be ready to collect you when you're finished, then return you to Paris.
Good to know
Admission tickets to the gardens and house are separate and must be purchased on arrival. Wear comfortable walking shoes; the gardens involve gravel paths and gentle slopes. Bring sunscreen and a hat. The journey takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour each way, depending on Paris traffic.
