DESCRIPTION :

Experience the Best of France, Recommended by Travelers Worldwide. / RS% / FAQ

Experience two iconic French destinations in a single day with our small group tour from Paris to Versailles and Giverny.

Your journey begins in the morning when you meet your driver, and then you’ll travel comfortably in an air-conditioned minivan through the picturesque French countryside.

First, with your priority access to the Palace of Versailles, embark on a guided tour (group size: maximum 18 people) with a licensed guide for approximately 2.5 hours of this jaw-dropping estate, home to generations of French monarchs and one of the most magnificent royal palaces in Europe. Learn about the history of this UNESCO World Heritage site as you walk through opulent salons, royal apartments, and the breathtaking French-style gardens. You’ll have time to enjoy lunch or a snack independently before continuing your journey.

Next, continue your visit with the charming town of Giverny (small group, maximum 8 people), home to one of the world’s greatest Impressionist painters, Claude Monet. See where the celebrated artist lived and worked on a self-guided tour of his home, which has been immaculately preserved. Stroll through the well-kept gardens that inspired some of Monet’s most famous works, including his ‘Water Lilies’ series, and enjoy the peacefulness of this artistic haven. Your driver-guide will then meet you in Giverny to bring you back to Paris.

After indulging in royal history and artistic beauty, relax on the return drive to Paris.

TRAFFIC IN PARIS:

We would like to inform you that our company is not responsible for the traffic between Paris and Versailles, which can sometimes exceed an hour of travel time. That's why we only accept pickups in the western part of Paris and select districts to avoid long journeys in our vehicles.
To make your life easier and reduce your travel time, we recommend the following steps:
Departure to Versailles:
We advise you to choose a meeting point in the western part of Paris. This way, the driver will have more time to get to Versailles, ensuring that you don't miss your guide at Versailles.
Return to Paris:
If you find yourself in the middle or east of Paris, we also recommend selecting a meeting point in the western part of Paris, such as near the Eiffel Tower. You can then use the metro to reach your destination. By opting for a strategic meeting point, you can optimize your journey to or from Versailles. We provide additional time for the driver to reach Versailles because we understand the importance of not missing your guide at Versailles.
