Private Tour in Giverny with 2-Hour Dinner Cruise on the Seine River
Follow Monet's footsteps in Giverny, then glide along Paris's most iconic river at dusk.
This full-day private experience combines a visit to the legendary village of Giverny with a Seine River dinner cruise, offering two of France's most celebrated attractions in a single, seamlessly arranged journey.
From your hotel in Paris, a dedicated private driver takes you westward to Giverny, where Claude Monet spent the final decades of his life and produced some of the most recognized paintings in art history. An audio guide accompanies your visit to Monet's house and gardens, giving context to the artist's creative world without requiring a group pace.
The gardens shift dramatically with the seasons. From early spring through the first days of November, the flowerbeds and the famous water garden display layers of color and fragrance that directly inspired Monet's celebrated series of works. A self-guided rhythm means you can linger wherever the light or the scenery holds your attention.
After returning toward Paris, your driver delivers you to Port de Bourdonnais at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. From there, a two-hour dinner cruise along the Seine takes you past landmarks including the Assemblee Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre Dame de Paris. Onboard commentary is available in fourteen languages, and the route offers unobstructed views of the city's most celebrated monuments.
