CDG Transfers with Private Tour in Giverny, Seine River Cruise and Wine Tasting

From Monet's gardens to the river heart of Paris, a full-day private journey that covers art, scenery, and the finest French wines.


This private Giverny tour with CDG transfers combines one of France's most beloved impressionist landmarks with a scenic Seine River cruise and a curated wine tasting session. Designed for travelers with limited time, it connects Charles de Gaulle Airport with a rich full-day experience across three distinct destinations.

Your expert private driver guides you to the village of Giverny, where Claude Monet lived and painted for decades. You walk through the same gardens that inspired his Water Lilies series, exploring the floral arrangements and the iconic Japanese bridge at your own pace with an audio guide.

After Giverny, the tour moves to the Seine River, where you board a one-hour cruise that drifts past landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, Musee d'Orsay, Notre Dame de Paris, and the Assemblee Nationale. Commentary is available onboard in 14 languages, making the experience accessible to a wide range of visitors.

The day concludes at a specialist wine shop in Paris, where you sample a curated selection of French wines and build a broader understanding of the country's wine regions. Your driver then transfers you directly to CDG Airport, completing a seamless door-to-door journey.
