Left Behind
If I could leave zero stars, I would. We arrived at the time we were told to arrive and they were already gone. They left us and another couple behind. We contacted them immediately while standing there wondering where they were. They would not come back to get us and would not refund our money. The other couple said they had been there a while looking for them but could not find them. I would never book with this company. They basically stole over $500 from us.

Giverny and Versailles
Was amazing to see Monet’s home. We had a fantastic time touring the home, and meandering the gardens and lily pond. For myself, it was a 26 years-in-coming bucket list visit as I didn’t have time in my youth…Our guide was fantastic, and the trip was well worth it. My family also added the Versailles full day option, and it was fantastic to see two amazing places, have a nice lunch, and be bussed in a wonderful air-conditioned carriage during Europe’s summer heat.

Great day
Julian was a great guide! He was helpful and knowledgeable and humorous. Lunch was very good. A little pricey but nice to just relax and be taken care of for the day.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $139 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 Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 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 Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 2,001 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 Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit 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 Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch?
+
Around 700 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 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit 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.
