This tour is really popular among travelers since these are two attractive locations. I will pick you up at 9 AM at your hotel and head to Versailles with skip-the-line tickets which I booked in advance. During our 2-hour visit, you'll learn about the state apartments, hall of the mirrors, chapel & battle gallery. Then we'll head out to the spectacular gardens. From April to October, it is possible to see the water fountain show in the gardens on the weekends and some Tuesdays. We'll stop for lunch in the charming town of Giverny with several choices of restaurants I can recommend. See where Claude Monet, the father of Impressionism, lived and worked for 43 years in Giverny as we visit his house and the lavish gardens that inspired most of his paintings during this late period. Art history is a passion, through tours like this we can understand 2 different trends (classic and impressionism) that lead us to understand how we conceive art today. This is the key educational aspect from my point of view.
Spending the day with Gustavo was wonderful and worthwhile. His art & art history expertise is at the highest level. While driving between sites we had great discussions on current art, the art economy & other relevant topics. Seeing Versailles & Giverny was an excellent decision. Strongly recommend Gustavo.
Thank you, Gustavo, extremely informative and jam-packed tour day which is exactly what we wanted. First class service, A+
APerfect Day with Gustavo – 5 Stars! From start to finish, our private guided tour with Gustavo was nothing short of spectacular! We were fortunate to experience Monet’s gardens in Giverny and the grandeur of Versailles with such an expert and passionate guide. Gustavo's knowledge of art, history, and the stories behind these iconic sites made the entire day unforgettable. If you're looking for an in-depth, unforgettable experience of Monet’s gardens and Versailles, I highly recommend booking with Gustavo. It was a day we will treasure forever.
Gustavo was very charismatic and extremely knowledgeable of history and the sites, pointing out important facts easily missed. Beautiful day! Merci!
Our guided tour through Monet's home and private garden was the highlight of our trip. Walking through the garden made our visit to view Monet's paintings much more magical. Gustavo did a great job explaining the history of the Impressionist movement and the techniques that the artists used. During our visit to Versailles, Gustavo's explanation of the French Revolution was fascinating and left us with a desire to learn more about it. We enjoyed learning about the Revolution through the amazing artwork.
Our guide was fun, accommodating and very knowledgeable of the history of the region and in the case of our tour of Versailles and Giverny, very knowledgeable of art history. We highly recommend this tour, especially our guide -- Gustavo Zarco.
