From Paris: Palace of Versailles & Giverny Gardens Guided Tour

• Board a comfy AC coach from Paris and see two of France's most famous cultural spots in a day, the Palace of Versailles and Monet's Garden Giverny.

• A riot of colors awaits you in Monet's garden at Giverny where water lilies alone have inspired over 250 Impressionist paintings!

• Tailor your tour: listen to audio guides, interact with a live guide, add a sumptuous 3-course lunch, or upgrade to a small group.

• Avoid the rush with skip-the-line tickets to Versailles. Admire the musical fountain show (optionally) and get firsthand know-how of the French Royalty.

• Fun fact: Artists, inspired by Claude Monet, flock to Giverny to meet local artists and see their latest creations.

You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.
