    A great trip and guide.

    Wonderful trip with a splendid guide, Jean-Paul, who saw to it we were never hurried but always got the chance to take a breather when we needed one. He was knowledgeable about Van Gogh and Monet, about Auvers and Giverny.

    Good tour, great guide!

    Good tour with a great guide (J-P)! Before the tour I was worried that things would feel very rushed and that there wouldn't be sufficient time to enjoy each of the two sites (Auvers-sur-Oise & Giverny) properly, but it all turned out fine.

    We all loved the tours...

    We all loved the tours and thought our guide did a good job. Our only complaint was that since we were a group of 9, we could not always hear him unless we were standing right next to him. It would have been useful to have had earbuds or some sort of listening device that he spoke into so that we could hear him better wherever we were standing.

    Perfect Day for Art and Garden Lovers

    This is a Paris "must do"—-I had done a tour of Giverny in 2023 and returned to this one which included a tour of Van Gogh's final home in Auvers-sur Soise. The trip was led by Valeria who is beyond delightful, knowledgeable about Monet, Van Gogh and art history in general. It was a truly enjoyable day and an immersive experience with a fabulous and fun guide. Thank you Valeria!

    Giverny & Auvers sur Oise Private Day Trip with Monet & Van Gogh Tour from Paris: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Giverny & Auvers sur Oise Private Day Trip with Monet & Van Gogh Tour from Paris cost?

    +

    Prices start at €149 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 & Auvers sur Oise Private Day Trip with Monet & Van Gogh Tour from Paris take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 & Auvers sur Oise Private Day Trip with Monet & Van Gogh Tour from Paris worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 22 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 Giverny & Auvers sur Oise Private Day Trip with Monet & Van Gogh Tour 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 Giverny & Auvers sur Oise Private Day Trip with Monet & Van Gogh Tour from Paris suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Giverny & Auvers sur Oise Private Day Trip with Monet & Van Gogh Tour from Paris?

    +

    Around 8 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Giverny & Auvers sur Oise Private Day Trip with Monet & Van Gogh Tour 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.
