Brilliant day trip, comfortable shuttle transfer. Our trip also included a guided tour of the abbey, this made our trip! Our guide Theo was very knowledgeable and helpful. Great guided tour with some time alone to have lunch and a wander.

When staying in Normandy, a tour of Mont Saint Michel is a must. Even though the weather on the day of our visit was overcast and cool, our very knowledgeable guide, Charles, made the visit very pleasant and informative. Very highly recommended.

Charles was an amazing tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about MSM and entertained us with lots of interesting tidbits about the abby and the town. He also took us to a great place for lunch away from the tourists. I highly recommend this tour and this company.

Our guide Valentino was outstanding! Very knowledgeable and shared a lot of insights into the Abbey but also stories on art pieces in the Abbey! He spent extra time with us so the tour never felt rushed!We are 69 and 73 and it was a lot of steps to climb but guide took lots of breaks as walked up! There were 8 in our van and that was just right! He even dropped us off at train station in Bayeux so we could catch our train back to Paris. I would totally recommend this tour and guide on the must see list for tours from Bayeux and Normandy region! Lunch is a challenge in Abbey village as small restaurants and we bought Penni to eat but no places to sit and eat lunch. I had read on reviews to pack your own lunch that might be good idea but no place to sit outside to eat. Had plenty of time after tour to eat and shop but tables all full in restaurants ! Would be nice if abbey could have picnic tables near entrance!

This was a wonderful small group tour to Mont Saint-Michel. Our guides were excellent, relating a lot of great information on the ride and within the site. We had plenty of time to explore on our own, take photos, and get lunch. I traveled with older family members and the guides were great about taking things slowly so they could manage the stairs. The whole process was very smooth. Highly recommend!
