Giverny and Full Day Paris Tour with Private Pick-Up and Drop

Discover Monet's gardens and the iconic landmarks of Paris in a single unforgettable day.


This private Paris and Giverny day tour combines a panoramic journey through the French capital with an excursion to Claude Monet's legendary house and gardens, all with the comfort of a dedicated driver and door-to-door service.

Paris rewards those who explore it at their own pace, and this 10-hour private tour is designed to give you exactly that freedom. Your driver will collect you directly from your hotel and guide you through the city's most celebrated streets and squares, stopping at each landmark so you can step out, take photographs, and absorb the atmosphere without any rushing.

The second half of the day takes you beyond the city limits to the small village of Giverny, where impressionist painter Claude Monet spent the final decades of his life. An audio guide accompanies your visit to the gardens and house, providing context about Monet's life, his creative process, and the landscapes that inspired some of the most recognised paintings in Western art.

Because this is a panoramic city tour, visits to the interiors of the Louvre Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Eiffel Tower are not included. The focus is on seeing Paris as a whole, moving efficiently between its most celebrated spots while leaving room for spontaneous stops and personal exploration.

Tour Highlights

Stop at the Place du Trocadero for the most celebrated panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower, ideal for photography.

Drive along the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful avenues in the world.

See the exterior of the Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral, two of the most iconic structures in European history.

Walk through Claude Monet's gardens in Giverny, a living work of art open from early spring through to early November.

Visit Monet's house in Giverny with an audio guide that traces the painter's life and his influence on impressionism.

Explore the historic Le Marais district on foot, a neighbourhood known for its cobblestone streets and heritage architecture.

Travel in comfort with a private vehicle and dedicated driver providing pick-up and drop-off directly at your hotel.
