“The tour was very interesting and our guide very informative. Crystal really brought Claude Monet to life for us with her stories and photos. The only 2 issues-the bus had a problem so we had to start 45 minutes late and I wish we had more time to explore the area and maybe grab lunch there. But the gardens were absolutely magnificent and well worth the trip! I learned some surprising facts about Monet and his influences. Highly recommend!”

Umbrellas were not any help. It would have been better to do the garden first as it was not yet raining then but that was not possible. Lots of people ! We still had a great day and our lovely guide was very knowledgeable and kept us on time.”
