How Much Does A Giverny Tour Cost? Prices Compared

Price is the fastest way to sort the Giverny market. The cheapest seats, the two $66 per person half-day coach departures, sit far below the most expensive private guided day, and every step between them buys something concrete: a smaller vehicle, a guide, a lunch, a second chateau, or a door-to-door pickup. The from-prices run across shared, small-group, and private departures, each stated on the exact per-person or per-group basis its listing declares, and they sit against official adult entry of 13 euros, so the gap shows what you pay for beyond admission.

One number anchors everything: Monet's house and gardens itself charges 13 euros for an adult ticket, sold by the house directly, with children under 7 free. The rest of any tour price is transport, guiding, and convenience. That is the lens for the whole comparison below.

What Does A Ticket To Monet's Garden Itself Cost?

Entry to Monet's house and gardens is 13 euros for an adult, 7 euros for a child aged 7 to 17, 7 euros for a student, and free for children under 7, sold directly at the gate or online by the house. A disabled visitor pays 6 euros while a companion pays the full price, and groups of 20 or more pay 12 euros per adult through the groups desk. The house sells an e-ticket online. Reservation is not mandatory but is recommended for weekends and public holidays, and tickets are also sold on site daily from 9:30. Those are the only official numbers that matter for the do-it-yourself baseline every tour price has to beat.

Two finer points from the official ticketing page are worth money. Combined tickets are sold on site only, for individuals: 25 euros adult with the Musee des Impressionnismes Giverny, 25.50 euros with the Musee de l'Orangerie in Paris, and 27 euros with the Musee Marmottan Monet. And e-tickets bought online are not refundable, modifiable under conditions until 30 April 2026 and final from 1 May 2026. The practical details are published on the official practical information page.

How Much Are Shared Coach Tours From Paris To Giverny?

Shared coach tours from Paris to Giverny cost between $66 and $230 per person, making them the entry level of the market. The two cheapest listings are both priced from $66, and both include the entry ticket to Monet's house and gardens. At that floor, the price of the coach seat and the price of admission are bundled, which is why a $66 tour can make sense next to a 13 euro ticket plus a do-it-yourself train fare: the transport, the ticket, and in most cases a guide or audio app arrive as one purchase. Above the floor, the shared-coach price climbs with hours and add-ons, and no shared coach line lists a hotel collection, so every departure starts from a stated central meeting point in Paris.

The specifics, listing by listing. The Giverny, Monet's Home & Gardens Half-Day Trip carries 3,546 reviews and a 4.5 rating, from $66 per person for 6 to 11.5 hours depending on the option, departing from a stated meeting point near Pl. du General Koenig in the 17th arrondissement, with entry fees and a self-guided audio app in 10 languages included. The audio-or-live-guide day trip, rated 4.2 from 3,032 reviews, also runs from $66 per person over 5 hours from 45 Av. de la Bourdonnais, with the entrance ticket included and Vernon listed as a stop. A step up, the Giverny Monet's House & Gardens Half-Day Tour from France Tourisme's agency is rated 4.5 from 477 reviews and from $114 per person, with a multilingual driver-guide and entry ticket included.

Not every shared departure is a bare-bones coach. The Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch, rated 4.2 from 2,021 reviews and from $230 per person over 9 hours 30 minutes, includes a 3-course lunch and priority-access entrance tickets to both attractions, which is why its per-person price sits well above the half-day floor while still being a shared coach product. The general pattern: a shared seat buys the lowest per-person cost and a stated central meeting point rather than a hotel collection, since hotel pickup is not listed on any of these coach lines.

For readers weighing the full shared-coach field against smaller vehicles, the tour picker and the half-day tour comparison break down the same listings by schedule and inclusions rather than price alone.

The $66 audio-guide departure is the cleanest illustration of the entry price, so it deserves a closer look before moving upmarket.

What Do Small-Group Giverny Tours From Paris Cost?

Expect to pay between $148 and $209 per person for a small-group Giverny tour from Paris. All four main listings are minivan tours capped at 6 to 8 travelers, and three of the four include the entry ticket to Monet's house and gardens in its price. That is a real step above the shared-coach floor, and what it buys is defined on each listing: a minivan instead of a coach, a stated group maximum, and in several cases a hotel pickup option the coach products do not offer. The per-person basis is the same across all four, so the comparison is direct and the from-price is the whole story at this tier.

The most reviewed small-group listing is the Giverny Small-Group Half-Day Trip with Monet's Gardens from Paris, rated 4.8 from 2,005 reviews, from $148 per person for 4.5 hours, limited to 8 people, with an expert guide and chauffeur, transport by air-conditioned minivan, and the entrance fee included, departing from 6 Av. de Wagram. Close behind on rating, the Giverny Small-Group Minivan with Hotel Pickup or Meeting Point is rated 4.7 from 769 reviews and from $154 per person for 5 hours, and it is one of the few listings at any price that states pickup from hotels in western Paris. The Giverny and Monet's Garden Half-Day Trip from Paris, rated 4.4 from 140 reviews, runs from $149 per person for 4.5 hours capped at 8. And the Monet's Giverny & Vernon Mill Small Group, from $209 per person for 6 hours with a maximum of 6 guests, lists hotel pickup and drop-off, a professional English-speaking guide, and a walk in Giverny village, rated 5.0 from 7 reviews. Before you mention your destination to a French driver or guide, our plain guide to pronouncing Giverny correctly covers the French sounds and the slip-ups English speakers make.

The minibus tier sits between small-group and private: the Monet Impressionism Tour to Giverny by Minibus is from $1,565 per group, rated 4.5 from 33 reviews, with hotel pickup listed for the private option. You can check its availability beside the full listing.

How Much Is A Private Giverny Tour From Paris?

Private Giverny tours start at $319 per person and $961 per group, and the basis is the single most important line on each listing: two of the seven private departures are priced per person, one per group, and four state no basis at all. A per-group price divided across a family can undercut a per-person small-group ticket, while the same per-group price for a solo traveler can exceed the per-person cost of every shared and small-group trip available. Reading the basis before the number is the whole trick of this tier.

The private listings, each with its price basis as the listing states it: the Private Giverny Monet's House & Gardens Trip from Paris, rated 4.7 from 32 reviews, from $319 per person for 6.5 hours, with a Mercedes car or minivan, hotel pickup and drop-off, Monet's house tickets, and 2 hours of free time in Giverny. The Paris: Giverny and Monet's House Private Day Trip runs from $425 per person for 6 hours with hotel pickup and admission included, rated 5.0 from 6 reviews. The Monet's Gardens & House Private Giverny Tour, rated 4.7 from 161 reviews, is from $490, and the listing does not say whether that price is per person or per group; it runs 5 hours with a skip-the-line ticket and an art-historian guide, and the listing should be checked for pickup details. The Giverny Private Tour: Monet's House & Garden, rated 5.0 from 6 reviews, is from $1,702 with the basis unstated, 5 hours with a private expert guide, admission, and hotel pickup in central Paris. The Giverny and Versailles Full-Day Private Guided Tour with Hotel Pickup, rated 4.7 from 13 reviews, is from $911 with the basis unstated, 9 hours with an art-historian guide and no meals. The Versailles Palace & Giverny Private Tour with Lunch, rated 4.9 from 57 reviews, is from $854 with the basis unstated, 9 hours with lunch included. Finally, the one per-group listing: the Giverny: Monet's house & Gardens Private tour from Paris, rated 5.0 from 6 reviews, from $961 per group, 5 hours, private minivan, hotel pickup and skip-the-line admissions included. For any price without a stated basis, confirm whether it is per person or per group on the live booking page.

What the private premium consistently buys, across the lines: hotel pickup listed as included on six of the seven private options, a dedicated guide or art historian, and flexibility no shared product offers. Only the $490 tour leaves pickup unconfirmed. What the premium does not automatically buy is a longer garden visit; most private listings run the same 5 to 6.5 hours as the small-group trips. The private tour guide walks through which per-group prices make sense for which party sizes.

What Do Giverny And Versailles Combo Tours Cost?

Combining Monet's garden with Versailles costs from $144 to $371 per person on shared departures and from $284 to $911 on small-group and private ones, with the spread driven mainly by lunch, group size, and the depth of the Versailles visit. The cheapest combo, the Giverny and Versailles Palace Guided Day Trip, is from $144 per person for 11.5 hours by coach, rated 4.5 from 1,591 reviews, with skip-the-line Versailles entry, a guided palace tour, and the Monet house entry ticket included. The most expensive shared combo, the Giverny and Versailles Small-Group Day Trip with Lunch, is from $371 per person for 10 hours capped at 15, rated 4.3 from 762 reviews, with a guided garden visit, reserved timed entrances, and a 3-course lunch with drinks.

In between sit five more listings whose differences are real, not cosmetic. The Versailles Timed Entrance Ticket and Giverny Small-Group Day Trip, rated 4.8 from 295 reviews, from $285 per person for 9 hours capped at 8, guarantees a Versailles timed ticket. The Giverny's House & Gardens plus Versailles Day Trip with Lunch, rated 4.8 from 230 reviews, from $365 per person, includes a guided tour inside the palace and lunch with drinks for groups of 16 or fewer. The Versailles and Giverny Tour with Hotel Pickup, rated 4.6 from 42 reviews, from $284 per person for 9 hours, lists hotel pickup and a 2.5-hour guided palace tour. The Giverny Versailles Trianon Small Group, rated 4.5 from 67 reviews, from $319 per person for 11.5 hours in a minivan capped at 7, adds the Trianon and the Queen's Hamlet to the itinerary. And the Giverny & Versailles Day Trip with Professional Guide, from $215 per person for 11 hours, is rated 5.0 from 7 reviews.

For context on the entry costs the combos bundle: a 2026 Versailles Passport is 35 euros standard in high season, 25 euros in low season, per the official Versailles ticketing page, and the Palace and Trianon are closed on Mondays. A tour that includes a reserved entry sidesteps the separate purchase, which is part of what the pricier combos are selling. The Giverny and Versailles guide compares the same listings by itinerary depth.

The coach-and-lunch combo is the mid-market anchor of this tier and pairs the two attractions with the fewest logistics decisions.

What Do Giverny Trips With Auvers Or Rouen Cost?

Giverny tours that pair Monet's gardens with Van Gogh's Auvers-sur-Oise, the two-Impressionists itineraries, cost between $133 and $251 per person, while the Rouen loop runs from $291 per person with hotel pickup listed, making the Rouen itinerary the pricier of the two options. These are the prices for travelers who want a full day of Impressionist country rather than a garden half-day, and all three listings include the entrance tickets that matter, from the Van Gogh House to Monet's house and gardens. They cost more than the plain half-day coach trips because they cover two destinations, not one, and the day runs to 10 hours or more. The Full-Day Monet's Giverny & Van Gogh Village Tour, rated 4.7 from 171 reviews, from $133 per person, includes entrance to both the Van Gogh House and Monet's house and gardens, plus a visit to Van Gogh's final resting place, by VIP bus with an English-speaking escort. The Giverny Monet's Garden & Auvers-sur-Oise with Van Gogh House, rated 4.9 from 436 reviews, from $251 per person for 10 hours capped at 8, includes all entrance fees and transport by minivan with a driver-guide.

The Rouen option costs more because it covers more ground. The Claude Monet Day Trip to Giverny, Vernon, Rouen, rated 4.7 from 26 reviews, is from $291 per person for 8 to 13 hours by minivan, with hotel pickup and drop-off in Paris listed as included, visits to Monet's house and studio, the Clos Normand and water garden, a photo stop at Le Vieux-Moulin de Vernon, and free time in Rouen for lunch and shopping. Pickup starts at 7:30 am and drop-off in Paris can land after 20:00 depending on traffic, which is worth knowing before booking a dinner.

Timing note for the Auvers combos: the Maison de Van Gogh's 2026 season runs 4 March to 22 November, Wednesday to Sunday only, so a Tuesday or Monday departure visits a village without its headline sight open. The details are on the official Maison de Van Gogh page. The Auvers-sur-Oise guide covers the two itineraries stop by stop.

The Rouen day is the most expensive single-region tour on this page short of the private tier, and its all-in structure explains the price.

Do Local Giverny Tours Without Transport Cost Less?

Yes, they do, often sharply: a guided tour that meets you in Giverny rather than Paris runs from $66 to $73 per person, and a village walking tour with entry included starts from $73, so skipping the Paris transfer keeps your costs down. These listings suit anyone arriving independently by train, since they remove the Paris transport layer that makes up most of the price gap elsewhere on this page. Both include the entrance ticket to Monet's house and gardens, so the comparison with the official 13 euro adult ticket is straightforward, and neither includes transport to or from Giverny, which is stated plainly in their exclusions. The Giverny: Monet's House and Gardens Guided Tour, rated 4.8 from 794 reviews, is from $66 per person for 2 hours, meeting at Restaurant Les Nympheas on Rue Claude Monet, and includes the entrance tickets plus a licensed local guide, making it the same nominal price as the Paris coach trip for a far more focused product. The Giverny Village Walking Tour & Entrance to Monet's Garden, rated 3.7 from 728 reviews, is from $73 per person for 1 hour, including the village walk, the stories, and the entrance ticket, with the house and garden visit then self-guided.

Against the 13 euro adult ticket, the local guided tour is a premium for two hours of a licensed guide and a pre-secured entry. Whether that is worth it depends on the season: on a weekday in September the gate is usually manageable, while on a May weekend the pre-secured entry carries more weight. The guided versus self-guided guide works through that trade-off in detail.

Is The Train Cheaper Than A Tour From Paris?

For a solo traveler, yes: the do-it-yourself route costs about 6 to 24 euros each way by train plus 5 euros for the Vernon shuttle plus the 13 euro entry ticket, while the cheapest tour is from $66 per person with entry included. The official figure for the train is a range, roughly 20 to 27 direct TER trains a day from Paris Saint-Lazare to Vernon-Giverny, taking about 45 minutes to an hour, with fares of about 6 to 24 euros; the house's own page advises checking timetables because of works on the line. From Vernon station, the SN'go! shuttle costs 5 euros one way and 10 euros return from April to November, seats subject to availability, per the operator's shuttle page. Bike hire at Vernon station and the green way to Giverny are a further option.

The comparison is not only about money. A party of four on the DIY route pays four train fares and four shuttle fares, which can exceed the bundled coach price, while a traveler who values a fixed departure time and a secured entry pays the tour premium for certainty. The train or tour guide and the Paris to Giverny by train guide cover the rail route in full, including how the shuttle timetable interacts with train arrivals.

What Extra Costs Sit Outside The Tour Price?

Lunch is the biggest extra cost to plan for: just four tours across the whole roster include a meal, so budget for food unless your listing specifically states a 3-course lunch. Tips are the other main gap, since they sit outside the price on nearly every shared and small-group tour, so factor gratuity into your total spend. The meal-inclusive listings are the three shared Giverny-and-Versailles combos at $230, $365 and $371 per person, plus the private Versailles combo from $854; the $291 Rouen trip allows free time for lunch, with no meal included. Everywhere else, food and drinks are listed as excluded, though one coach listing notes the guide will recommend lunch spots in Giverny. Gratuities appear on the exclusion list of most shared and small-group tours, which does not oblige a tip but does mean the headline price is the pre-tip price, and the same logic applies to the Musee des Impressionnismes, which no listing includes.

A few smaller line items. Hotel pickup is not listed on any coach product; every coach and several minivan tours depart from a stated central Paris meeting point, so budget a metro ticket. No tour listing includes entry to the Musee des Impressionnismes Giverny. Entry costs 12 euros adult, 9 euros reduced, free under 18, and the on-site combined ticket with Monet's house is 25 euros adult. Arriving by car changes the math. The Giverny car parks are free, including the Prairie lot near the entrance, which removes the parking cost a Versailles or Paris day would add.

Which Giverny Tour Gives The Best Price-To-Inclusions Fit?

The from-price per format tells most of the story: $66 to $230 shared, $148 to $209 small-group, $319 to $1,702 private, and $66 to $73 local, and within each band the tie-breaker is what the listing actually bundles, entry, lunch, pickup, or a second attraction. A $66 coach seat with entry included and a $122 minivan seat with entry included differ by $56 for the smaller vehicle and the driver-guide; a $144 Versailles combo and a $371 one differ by lunch, group size, and reserved entries. Private tours vary widely: some price per person, others per group, and several listings leave the basis unstated, so check the live booking page before comparing.

Three fits stand out for three budgets. At the floor, the most reviewed half-day trip, 4.5 from 3,546 reviews from $66 per person, is the value benchmark every other listing has to justify itself against. Mid-market, the 4.8-rated small-group minivan from $148 per person, capped at 8 with entry included, is the strongest rating-per-dollar on the site. At the top, per-group private pricing from $961 for a family of four can land near a small-group per-person total, with a dedicated vehicle and hotel pickup. Comparison shoppers will find the full field in the best tour from Paris guide and the tour prices compared on the homepage, with more on Giverny day trip options in the linked guide.
