Private Versailles & Giverny in a Day
New This Season!From canvas to crown
Escape the city and transcend time with our full-day tour of Giverny and Versailles. You’ll start the day getting inspired by one of France’s greatest painters and end it in awe of the royal splendour and extravagance of the Palace of Versailles.
Monet’s intimate abode and quaint gardens in Giverny will give you an insight into the inspiration that lay behind some of the impressionist’s most famous artworks. Versailles, on the other hand, will swap the intimate for the inimitable, with its vast gardens and splendid halls.

Proven Excellence, New Adventure
I wish we could give this more than five stars! We had a seamless meeting, then a wonderful bike ride to Giverny. Clara was fantastic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Lunch was a selection of cheeses and other goodies. Clara told us all about them. She is the kind of guide who elevated the whole experience. This was a highlight of our trip!
The perfect day-entertaining, engaging, educational. Our guide, Clara, was engaging, very knowledgeable & incredibly friendly. She stitched the story of all the Louis' into the tour in a way that didn’t feel like just a recitation of facts & left our whole family looking forward to the next part of the story. The market was amazing. The tour also took us to places around the Versailles that we wouldn’t have visited on our own. This was a phenomenal value and a great way to spend a day around Paris. Finally, the ultimate testament to how good the tour was came when my kids (13,15) enthusiastically and spontaneously retold the story of Versailles to their friends when we returned home.
Our last day in France was absolutely unforgettable! The bike tour through Versailles with Boutique Tours & Clara as our guide was magical!! It was amazing to ride through town, take in the history of Louis XIV & Marie Antoinette, and enjoy the stunning palace gardens.
Stopping at the local farmers market & picking up fresh items for a picnic by the Grand Canal was so picturesque — a perfect way to soak up the ambiance of the city. After lunch we toured the Queens Hamlet. It felt like stepping back in time as we listened to Clara tell detailed stories of the royals!! This was such a historic and beautiful place to explore!
