Great
The meeting point was easy and the greeter was very nice. The guide was very good. The length of the tour inside the building was not very long (90 minutes) but was almost long enough. However you could go back inside if you wanted, but with the crowd it didn't make much sense. The garden tour was good and the gardens are lovely. At first I thought that the price was a little high, but when I considered the cost of the train rides both ways, and the entry fees for the palace and the gardens and the private tour it actually was reasonable. I would recommend this tour.

Great tour and easy transfer by train. Be prepared for some walking as the estate is massive. Not too many stairs, but some cobblestone areas.
Tour was very informative and all the rooms were well preserved.

The garden was lush and beautiful and lush, even in early October. There were many floors blooming, Our guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant to interact with. He was a very good driver. We learned a lot from him about the history of Giverny, Monet, Monet’s family, and the foundation that runs Monet’s house and garden.
