He was right at port when we docked. Actually he contacted me as we were tendering in so we knew to look for him. He was able to get us to Mt St Michel before it got really busy. Went through the abbey and the village while he gave us all the history. When we were done with tour and leaving there were so many visitors it was hard to get around. We were very glad to have gotten there early. Would definitely book again when in France. Thank you also for all your help setting up the tour and responding to questions! It was appreciated!

      I'd be happy to recommend Ophorus to any travelor trying to make tour arrangements. You were timely, friendly, responsive to all of my emails....lots of nice adjectives come to mind!!
      The flexibility with our boat's late arrival and departure from our boat was very much appreciated by our group of six.

      Your country was beautiful!!! Thank you for helping us to make it so enjoyable.

Our guide led us on a tour all the way up to the abbey and through its many rooms and chapels. Along the way, he gave us a thorough overview of the history and many interesting details. The views are phenomenal! After we exited at the top, we had about 2.5 hours of free time to explore on our own and have lunch. Although the abbey is well worth the visit, the street on the way up and down is lined with overpriced, low quality souvenir shops and restaurants (all similar items and similar menus) which kind of diminished the historical mood/value of the abbey. Our van ride back to Bayeux was quite comfortable especially since we were hot and tired from the many steps up and down. Be aware that you must have good mobility and have a good sense of balance for this tour-lots of uneven cobblestone, steps, and pavement. It’s a workout, Overall, still a must do and well worth the visit.
