Private Versailles & Giverny Experience | Royal Palace & Monet's Gardens Reviews

Wow!!!!!

Wow, is all I can say. We are so glad we did this trip. Abed was awesome!!!! By a weird coincidence we had him on another tour and I was so glad to see him again. I know this tour is a bit pricey, but it is worth every penny. Definitely pay the extra for the guide. He was with us the entire time and since we don't speak French, he was able to deal with the staff at both places - as well as the driver (As you get outside of Paris it seems less people want to speak English). His knowledge was incredible and he told us things even on the way to the sites that we would have never known. And he knew a small lunch place in Versailles we would have never found. The pickup and dropoff at the hotel is really worth it. We were so tired on the way home, I had trouble walking from the car to the hotel door - about 10 feet! the Driver was awesome too, although we didn't speak much. On time, safe and did exactly what he needed to do. Of course, if you are interested in Monet, this trip is a must, but Versailles was incredible too. 100% recommend this trip. It was the highlight of our Paris vacation and the tour people delivered 100% and more.

Outstanding family experience

An outstanding family experience. Comfortable large van for our family of eight. Our group included 2 grandparents, 2 adult children, 2 young grandchildren and 2 aunts. A wide age range and diversity of interests. Our guide Rafrel(spelling?) was way better than good. She was outstanding and cover all family members and their difference of interest levels. I strongly recommend Rafrel. The company of Angelo and Kristen is excellent. They were there every step of the way to put this together in advance of the family trip.

Bucket List Day Checked!

I’ve wanted to see the Hall of Mirrors for years, and it did not disappoint. The acoustics in the Royal Chapel were incredible, and Monet’s garden was so much more vibrant than I expected. Worth every euro.

An Immersive Experience

Not just a sightseeing tour—this felt immersive. Our guide shared stories about court life in Versailles and pointed out hidden gems in the gardens. Loved seeing the actual pond Monet painted!

Senior-Friendly and Enriching

We’re in our 70s, and this tour was perfectly paced. The private chauffeur was courteous and patient. Seeing Monet’s home and hearing about his daily life was such a treat. Versailles took our breath away.

Romantic Getaway Worth Every Penny

As honeymooners, we wanted something intimate and unforgettable—and LivTours delivered. Our private guide Davide tailored the experience just for us, with plenty of time for photos and questions. Lunch in Giverny was delicious, too.

A Walk Through Monet’s Eyes

The garden in Giverny was like stepping into a dream. You could almost feel Monet painting just around the corner. The detail in his home added so much depth to the experience.

A Dream for Photography Lovers

As an amateur photographer, this tour was a dream. From the lily ponds to the mirror-lined halls of Versailles, I captured some of my favorite shots ever. Thank you, LivTours, for the access and relaxed pace.

Two Worlds in One Day

From peaceful ponds to regal palaces—it was like two worlds in one day. The private chauffeur made the day feel effortless. Worth every minute.

Our Favorite Day in France

Versailles was everything we imagined and more. But Giverny surprised us—it was so peaceful, and we had time to truly wander. Our guide explained how Monet arranged his flowers like brush strokes.
