    Fantastic day tour!

    We absolutely loved this day tour. Our guide and driver for the day was Alexandra. She was so friendly and personable. She explained everything we were seeing. The other couple that were with us were very friendly and we got along great. The Claude Monet house and gardens in Giverny were breathtaking! From the lily pond to the beautifully landscaped gardens and pathways we were blown away. I couldn’t even believe how beautiful. Then we stopped in a park in Vernon and learned some history of the bridge. It was interesting . Next we we taken to the city of Rouen. The cobblestone roads and gothic style buildings were so amazing to see. This is the town my ancestors and my husbands ancestors came from back in the 1600’s so we found it super interesting to think that they once walked those same streets. We stopped for lunch at one of the restaurants in the town square. Then afterwards we walked around and saw the church and site where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake. Then we saw the Notre Dame Cathedral in Rouen. It was just breathtaking. The architecture was incredible to see! The tour inside the church was very interesting and informative. We highly recommend Back Trip company and thank you to our guide Alexandra for a wonderful day! Having the option to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel was a big plus!

    Response from the operator: Dear Linda, My name is Irina and on behalf of the entire BackTrip & Travel team, I would like to thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with us! We are delighted to hear that you had such a memorable day exploring Giverny, Vernon, and Rouen with Alexandra. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to her. It was especially lovely to read about your personal connection to Rouen and how meaningful it was to walk the same historic streets as your and your husband’s ancestors. We are so glad that Monet’s beautiful gardens, Rouen’s remarkable architecture, and its fascinating history made the day so special. Thank you for recommending BackTrip and for choosing to travel with us. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again for another wonderful experience in the future! Warm regards, Irina Angelescu B2C Tour Consultant & Guest Relations Specialist

    Thank you , Alexandra!

    Our Paris-to-Giverny-Rouen tour with BackTrip was excellent from start to finish. Alexandra was a wonderful guide who was both knowledgeable and engaging throughout the day. She shared fascinating history and insights in a way that kept the tour interesting and enjoyable. Her passion for the area and for Monet’s gardens truly enhanced the experience. The small-group tour was well organized, comfortable, and well-paced, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of Giverny without feeling rushed. Alexandra’s friendly personality and attention to detail made the day even more memorable. We highly recommend this tour and especially Alexandra as a guide.

    Monet’s House and Garden - Dreams do come true

    Alexandra made my dream come true in visiting Claude Monet’s beautiful house and garden. Her knowledge of Monet’s life was excellent. I felt like I was visiting with a friend. There were two other ladies in the group and we all had a great day. A special treat was visiting the Joan D’arc museum. Lunch was enjoyed in a medieval village and Alexandra drove us all home safely. I look forward to my next experience with Alexandra - Back Trip

    Claude Monet guided daytrip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen from Paris: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

    How much does Claude Monet guided daytrip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen from Paris cost?

    +

    Prices start at €240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Claude Monet guided daytrip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen from Paris take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

    Is Claude Monet guided daytrip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen from Paris worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Claude Monet guided daytrip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen from Paris?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Claude Monet guided daytrip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen from Paris suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Claude Monet guided daytrip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen from Paris?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Claude Monet guided daytrip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen from Paris start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Paris?

    +

    Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Paris?

    +

    April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Paris?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
