You start this full-day trip by boarding a private, air-conditioned coach in central Paris for a short ride to the Palace of Versailles. Upon arrival, the group uses Skip-the-Line access to enter the palace and joins a local expert guide for a two-hour tour. The guide explains the history of Louis XIV and his court as you walk through the Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Apartments, and other lavish rooms. After touring inside the palace, you have one hour to explore the Versailles Gardens on your own. You can walk along the canal, see the fountains, and enjoy the formal garden layout at your leisure. In the afternoon, the coach heads to the Normandy countryside for about a one-hour drive to Giverny. Here, you visit Claude Monet’s final home and gardens. You receive a brief introduction from your guide before using a self-guided audio app to explore Monet’s house and grounds independently. The house is restored to the period when Monet lived there, and the gardens include features such as the water lily ponds that inspired many of his paintings. This 11.5-hour day trip includes entrance tickets to Monet’s house and gardens, Versailles Palace and Gardens, round-trip transport from Paris, a professional English-speaking guide, headsets to hear the guide clearly, and the self-guided app for Monet’s estate. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included.
