This was a must do for my wife so we went with a very small tour six of us in total. The guide was very well versed in Monet's background and the location and I felt like we had a personal tour and just about the right amount of time to see and understand the location with her insight. I would recommend the smaller tours if you are visiting a location that is a must see for you. We've done several tours and although more costly, if it's important to you, go with the smaller tour.
