Giverny Day Trip FAQ

Tree-lined gravel path leading toward the flower beds of Monet's garden in Giverny
Who runs the tours?

A mix of well-established operators and small specialist teams. City Wonders and Extime Travel run the Paris departures with the most reviews, while Blue Fox Travel, Paris TRIP, France Tourisme and PARIS WEBSERVICES run smaller minivan and small-group trips.

Which tours rate best?

Ratings across the collection stretch from 3.7 to a full 5. The top scores belong to small-group and private operators, among them the COME & GO small group with the Vernon mill at 5 across 7 reviews, plus private trips from Parismatic Tour, NUPLANIA and MY PRIVATE PARIS.

How do I book a tour?

Pick a tour here, follow its link, and finish on the live booking page where seats, dates and payment are handled by the operator. The six categories break down as follows: seven half-day trips from Paris, four small-group minivan departures, eight Giverny-and-Versailles combinations, three itineraries adding Auvers-sur-Oise or Rouen, two tickets and local guiding inside the village, and seven private tours.

What does it cost?

Entry level sits at $66 per person, covering both the Extime half-day from Paris with audio or live guide and the two-hour guide-giverny house and gardens tour for those already in Giverny. Small-group minivan trips cluster between $148 and $209 per person, and the Giverny-and-Versailles combinations begin at $144.

How long do tours run?

From a single hour to a full day. The village walking tour with garden entry lasts one hour, and the guided visit of the house and gardens runs two.

Where do trips start?

Paris anchors almost the entire lineup, with groups meeting at fixed points in the city rather than at one central station, and several minivan and private options add hotel pickup as stated in the listing. Independent travelers ride the direct train from Paris Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny, the village's rail gateway.
