Cyrus was our fantastic driver and guide for this amazing day trip. As we left Paris he shared French customs and information about Paris. In Giverny we were able to skip the line and enter through the group entrance. He walked us into the gardens where he shared a history of Monet. Then we were able to explore the gardens, house, and town on our own. While driving to Rouen Cyrus taught us French dining customs and took us straight to La Couronne for lunch. He got us seated and paid for our meal (we covered anything extra such as drinks). Lunch was delicious and we were immersed in a the French dining experience. After lunch Cyrus walked us through Rouen giving us a full history. He took us to Le Gros Horlage and had us all set with tickets to climb the tower. It was amazing! From there he helped us take a train ride around the city and gave us time to explore on our own. Cyrus was wonderful, the day was fantastic. The car was comfortable with bottled water available. Merci beaucoup!

We obtained more than we expected on our day trip outside of Paris. Ilya (our guide) was incredible. He was knowledgeable but most of all he knew exactly the right spots to delight our eyes at every second. He recommended a very good restaurant at Rouen and treated my mother with the most of his respects. Fully recommend Clew Tour (viator's operator). Excellent service, the care, the air conditioning, the patience but most of all the love the Ilya and Roman (the driver) showed for their work during all the day tour. Thanks a lot.

This tour was very informative and enjoyable! We learned so much about art history as well as the history of the Rouen region and France.
Valerie, our guide, was very knowledgeable, articulate, and informative. She provided very interesting background information about the art and artists who influenced the Impressionist movement as well as information about Monet and his contemporaries.
Alexander, our driver, provided timely and very pleasant transportation.
I would highly recommend this tour and would request Valerie for future, additional tours.

the small group was perfect for our family so we can tailor the trip to our liking.
I’m glad they changed the Giverny to morning so we can beat the crowds and then we did Rouen. It was a hot day - so we were not forced to stick to any agenda.
Jane was able to give us some wonderful insight to the stops we saw. They took us to a restaurant that many famous people have been …. But definitely don’t have to stick with that restaurant if your young ones wanted something different (to keep them entertained).
