Gorgeous day at Giverny and Versailles - not to be missed!
Fabulous day with our guide Frederic. He was amazing. We entered Giverny with very few crowds first thing and lots of time to view the house and the gardens. Lovely lunch at a nearby restaurant before making our way to Versailles for the afternoon. Ample time for viewing the house and some of the gardens. Just a perfect day.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review! We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a fabulous day with Frédéric. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to him, as we know how much passion and dedication he puts into making each experience special. We are thrilled that you enjoyed discovering Giverny in a peaceful setting, taking the time to admire Monet’s beautiful house and gardens, and continuing your day with a lovely lunch before exploring Versailles. Combining these two iconic destinations in one day is a wonderful way to experience some of France’s greatest treasures. Creating unforgettable moments and sharing the beauty of France with our guests is what inspires our team every day. We would be delighted to welcome you again, perhaps on our Mont-Saint-Michel excursion or during a Champagne tasting day trip to Reims for another memorable French adventure. Kind regards, Alice de France Tourisme

If you are planning another visit, we would be thrilled to welcome you again on one of our experiences, such as a magical excursion to Mont Saint Michel or a relaxing dinner cruise along the Seine with views of the Eiffel Tower by night—both unforgettable in their own way. We hope to see you again very soon for more memorable adventures! Warm regards, Alice de France Tourisme

Perfect day trip! Giverny...
Perfect day trip! Giverny was amazing (my favorite part) and Versailles was beautiful. Highly recommend if you have a day to spare in Paris. The tour ends fairly early so still had plenty of time to relax before dinner

We’re delighted to hear that you had a perfect day discovering both Giverny and Versailles, and that our professional guide helped make the experience enjoyable and effortless. It’s wonderful to know Giverny was your favorite part — the gardens truly are magical! We’re passionate about helping travelers experience the very best of France with comfort and ease. On your next visit, we’d love to welcome you on a day trip to Mont Saint-Michel or a lunch cruise on the Seine, both ideal ways to continue exploring France’s beauty and charm. Warm regards, Alice from France Tourisme

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Giverny & Versailles Day Trip From Paris with Professional Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Giverny & Versailles Day Trip From Paris with Professional Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $169 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 & Versailles Day Trip From Paris with Professional Guide 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 Giverny & Versailles Day Trip From Paris with Professional Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 & Versailles Day Trip From Paris with Professional Guide?
+
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 & Versailles Day Trip From Paris with Professional Guide 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 Giverny & Versailles Day Trip From Paris with Professional Guide?
+
Around 2 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 Giverny & Versailles Day Trip From Paris with Professional Guide 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.
