  • Giverny, Giverny, France
    Giverny is a delightful, typical Norman Seine-side village. It lies on the right, or north, bank of Normandy’s mightiest river, close to the town of Vernon. Were it not for the arrival of Impressionist master Claude Monet in 1883, the village might have remained a quiet provincial backwater. The long years Monet spent here would turn it into a place of artistic pilgrimage, even in his lifetime.

  • Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France
    The Palace of Versailles, or in french "Château de Versailles", is one of the largest castles in the world. A World Heritage listed, the Palace of Versailles is one of the finest achievements of French art in the seventeenth century. The former hunting lodge of Louis XIII was transformed and expanded by his son Louis XIV who installed his court and his government in 1682. Until the French Revolution, kings have succeeded, embellishing each the Castle. This royal jewel is definitely a must-see French landmark. Venture in the Palace, discover its spectacular architecture, and its splendid rooms like the King and Queen’s apartments, many livings room with its stories and the breath taking Mirror Hall design to impress visitors with its three hundred and fifty seven mirrors, its marble and bronze decorations and its gilded bronze sculptures. The visit ends with an introduction to Versailles Gardens. Thanks to skip the line access, the guide invites you to discover the Royal Apartments. ​Royal Apartments - King and Queen’s Royal Quarters These parade apartments were used to accommodate the official acts of the sovereign. They are decorated with a sumptuous Italian-style decoration, composed of marble paneling and painted ceilings. Open to everyone, everyone could see the king and the royal family. Here were organized evenings under the reign of Louis XIV, several times a week. Overlooking the Midi parterre, the Queen's Grand Apartment is symmetrical to the King's Royal Quarter. But unlike Louis XIV who abandoned his Royal Apartments, the Queen continued to occupy it, which explains why the decor was changed several times in the eighteenth century. ​The Hall of Mirrors The Hall of Mirrors or Grande Galerie is designed from 1678 by Mansart: a monumental room of 8072 square feet, dedicated to the wealth and know-how of the Kingdom of France. On around 239.5 feet long, the Hall exalts the political, economic and artistic successes of France. The compositions painted by Le Brun illustrate the glorious history of Louis XIV: military victories, diplomatic and kingdom reforms. The 357 mirrors, technological prowess, symbols of great luxury, demonstrated the wealth of France. Its design is a constantly changing show in which the lights and colors of the gardens are reflected. A magical moment. The Gardens of Versailles Our expert tour guide will enable you to see the best part of the Gardens. In 1661, Louis XIV charged André Le Nôtre to create the gardens of Versailles. The creation of gardens requires a gigantic work about forty years: leveling spaces, landscaping garden beds, creation of ponds and the Canal. Louis XIV considered gardens as important as the castle. André Le Nôtre created an ultimate French Style garden: a terrace with a global view of the gardens, a geometric organization of the axes, ponds, flowerbeds, groves. The garden is designed like a building, a walk playing on the perspectives. Charles Le Brun drew a large number of statues and fountains. The 221 sculptures make Versailles as the world's largest open-air museum of sculptures. Fountains and groves adorn the gardens. The groves regularly hosted the King's walk and the entertainment of the court. Appreciate a stroll trough the Le Nôtre's gardens. Each summer, Versailles offers superb entertainment in the gardens to give visitors the experience of the magnificence of the celebrations in the garden at the time of Louis XIV. Your guide will offer you a visit to the musical gardens (Tuesday from June to October) and the musical fountains show (Saturdays and Sundays from April to October).

This was very unprofessional experience. Please do not use this company for your tour. There is no such thing as skip the lines at Giverny, it’s a scam. Our driver, while very nice showed up late, had no water in the van for an hour and quarter drive. He left us and told us to meet him at the exit and didn’t give a number to contact him, needless to say, we waited over 10 min for him at the exit we knew. Really awful We have 2 kids and a 76 year old woman with us. The woman Sarah at the this company is combative and rude, 0 customer service. Spend you thousands of dollars w a reputable company. Really no excuse to spend 2k on a tour that is like this w the worst customer Service.

we were picked up by our guide, Jean-Paul, conveniently right outside our flat in the 9th arrondissement. We drove to Giverny first, and he took us around the gardens, the house, and even did thoughtful things like move the car throughout the day so that we watch part of the way, but then the car would be waiting for us. He was so knowledgeable about the history, the artist that we saw, they connected things to modern day, Paris. He was very responsive and engaging with our children as well. We had a lovely crêpe lunch, and then headed to the Versailles Gardens, to include the hamlet that Marie Antoinette designed, and lastly, the palace. I'm so grateful we booked this tour!

If you make reservations with other people make sure you pay together. We made the reservations on the phone but gave 2 different credit cards and told them we wanted to be together in the same car. That day they put us in different cars. The poor tour guide didn’t know what to do. He tried to call his office with no answer. We call Viator but took a while to get anyone but then my husband was able to chat via text. He was told it was basically our fault due to not paying together even though we booked the tour by phone and was assured that there will not be a problem. It all worked out at the end due to a wonderful tour guide. It was just very stressful. We have used Viator many times and this has never happened. Hopefully it will never happen again.
