About This Giverny Tour Guide
Everything gathered below is bookable right now, arranged on one page so the trade-offs sit side by side instead of scattered across tabs. Six categories hold the 31 tours: half-day and small-group departures out of Paris, Versailles combinations, longer routes taking in Auvers-sur-Oise or Rouen, village tickets with local guides, and private trips. Starting rates span $66 to $1,702. Weighing the upgrade? Is a guided Giverny tour worth it?
What Every Tour Card Shows
givernydaytrip.com exists for a single reason: gather every reservable Giverny outing onto one page where the differences stay legible. Six groups organize the 31 listings: seven half-day Paris departures, four small-group minivan runs, eight Versailles pairings, three routes adding Auvers-sur-Oise or Rouen, two ticket and guide options based in the village, and seven private trips. Each card places rating, review count, duration and cancellation terms together, so a City Wonders half day at 4.5 across 3,546 reviews from $66 can be weighed against a Blue Fox small-group run at 4.8 across 2,005 reviews without guesswork. Across the 31 tours listed, 18 operators hold 18,564 reviews, all 31 listings publish a from-price between $66 and $1702, and free cancellation applies across the board. Nothing here is operated by this site. Reservations and payment are completed on the live booking page alone, and the earnings model is explained at /disclosure/.
How To Choose A Giverny Tour
Begin with the clock. Half-day trips from Paris run about five hours, city to garden and back, and the busiest of them carries a 4.2 rating across 3,032 reviews from $66. Adding Versailles stretches the day to 9 to 11.5 hours, a long outing for travelers set on both estates. Private trips, priced $319 to $1702, add a dedicated guide and often hotel pickup. Weather and garden conditions vary, and no operator controls them. Monet's garden closes for winter, and the Vernon-Giverny shuttle runs only late March to early November. Free cancellation covers all 31 tours, though check live availability on the booking page before committing.
Choosing Between The Tours
Every from-price is taken from the operator's own listing, and operators move those figures with season and demand, so the number on the live booking page governs at checkout. Ratings and review totals appear exactly as published, no rounding up. A tour with a thin review history keeps that history visible, and the smallest rosters here carry six or seven reviews.
Sourcing The Prices
Read this page as a comparison desk, not a travel diary. No claim here rests on a personal visit, and nobody behind it pretends to have stood on the Japanese bridge at opening hour. Durations, ratings, prices and cancellation rules are read from each tour's live listing, since operators revise those details as seasons change. Background on Monet's house, the village and the direct TER from Paris Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny, a ride of under an hour, comes from official and local sources. No operator can buy a higher ranking, a rosier write-up or softer wording.
Getting From Paris To Giverny
- Half-day departures: seven trips out of Paris, most near five hours, running from an Extime option rated 4.2 across 3,032 reviews at $66 to a Blue Fox guided run rated 4.7 across 896 reviews from $145, with an ALENTOURS outing from $114 between them. Departures use set meeting points in central Paris, and all allow free cancellation.
- Small-group minivan trips: capped numbers define the four choices here, among them a Blue Fox half day at 4.8 from 2,005 reviews starting at $148, and a COME & GO run with hotel pickup from $209.
- What keeps recurring: Monet's pink farmhouse, the Japanese bridge spanning the water garden, the Clos Normon flower beds and the village church appear on nearly every route, whichever company runs the day.
- Versailles double headers: eight tours fold both estates into a single long outing, generally running 9 to 11.5 hours, rated between 4.2 and 5.
Compare Every Tour At Once
Compare 31 tours across six categories, from a half-day Paris trip with 3,546 reviews to a private Monet outing carrying six.

Those numbers shift with season and demand, so every card links to the tour pages, where the live figure always sits.
