Ozzies recommend great day trip
Alexandra our guide was awesome! The minivan had good air-conditioning which was needed during the Paris heat wave. Alex had us in to see Monet's house 1st up, minimal crowds not too hot, then the beautiful gardens and water watergarden. We had ample time to view both and get gifts from the gift shop. Lunch was simple, good wines ample time to enjoy and again beat the crowds. Versailles was busy but Alex guided us through with informative commentary. Great tour, highly recommend.

Wonderful day at Giverny and Versailles
Wonderful day out, Giverny, followed by a 3 course lunch and then Versailles. Our driver, Anil, was very patient in the Parisian traffic. Our guide, Bertrand, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The meeting place was easy to find and the coach was very nice. The gardens at Versailles were huge and you could never fit in the whole garden in the time but we had enough time to explore and it was very hot!

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $315 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 Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 761 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch?
+
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 Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch?
+
Around 266 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Giverny and Versailles Small Group Day Trip from Paris with Lunch 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 Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). 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.
