Terrific private tour of Giverny Monet’s Gardens!
JP picked up at our Paris hotel for a private journey to Giverny, where we toured Monet’s private garden and home. Transportation was great. Guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and skillful. Everything was as advertised! Better!

No show! Horrible experience!!!
Do not book this tour! The company confirmed 2 days before and then no showed the morning of the tour. 45 minutes after we were supposed to meet they finally replied to my text asking where they were and cancelled. So we missed out on going entirely since it was then too late to rebook with someone else.
Response from the operator: Dear Kand, We’re truly sorry to read your review and to hear about the disappointment you experienced. After thoroughly checking our records, we can confirm that we did not receive any booking under your name for the date in question. As a result, we were unfortunately unaware of your planned tour and had no way of preparing or contacting you in advance. It’s possible that the issue originated with a third-party booking platform, and we strongly encourage you to follow up directly with them for clarification. We understand how upsetting it must be to have your day disrupted, especially with such high expectations—and we completely sympathize with your frustration. Providing a reliable, high-quality experience is at the heart of what we do, and we regret that this miscommunication affected your plans. Should you return to Paris, we would love the opportunity to welcome you properly and show you the level of service we are known for. Warm regards,

A perfect excursion
Sarah took my mom and I on a tour of Monet’s gardens and house. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time. She was incredibly knowledgeable and very kind to us. The gardens were beautiful and well worth the trip from Paris. I would 100% use them for another tour and hope to in the future!

Monet in living color
The guide on this trip was terrific- he knew so much about the Monet and the gardens. It is a stunningly beautiful place to visit. The ride from and to Paris was also beautiful- not to be missed if you are a Monet fan.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Giverny Private Trip with Monet's House, Gardens & Impressionism Museum: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Giverny Private Trip with Monet's House, Gardens & Impressionism Museum cost?
+
Prices start at $180 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 Private Trip with Monet's House, Gardens & Impressionism Museum take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Private Trip with Monet's House, Gardens & Impressionism Museum worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 13 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 Private Trip with Monet's House, Gardens & Impressionism Museum?
+
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 Private Trip with Monet's House, Gardens & Impressionism Museum suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Giverny Private Trip with Monet's House, Gardens & Impressionism Museum?
+
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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Giverny Private Trip with Monet's House, Gardens & Impressionism Museum 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.
