I am planning a day tour to Giverny in early April and have been looking at multiple tour companies.
Has anyone used France Tourism tours with the Louvre agency departures?
From where I am staying this location is the most convenient.
Paris Webservices (which I have booked) has been giving me multiple runarounds regarding dates, and I will have to cancel.
Would appreciate ideas. Thank you.

have you considered going on your own? Pretty easy - Métro to Gare St Lazare, train to Vernon, connecting bus, and walk around the property including the house (none of Monet's paintings are there) and the water lily pond and garden. The garden in early April will be open but flowers will be few and far between, and the water lilies won't have any large leaves or flowers unless they are very early bloomers.
Then when you are done, head back to Paris the reverse of how you got there.
At your own speed.
What does the tour company provide beyond that? A bus?
