The Magnificence of Mont Saint Michel
Kenneth_M, May 2024
Our visit to Mont Saint Michel was fantastic! Julie, our guide, picked us up in Bayeux on time, provided details of how the day would go, and showed her expertise by relaying information on the history of the Mount. She has a wonderful personality and sense of humor. The Mount was magnificent, a bit strenuous to hike up to the abbey, but well worth it Gold Beach company provided a clean, comfortable and safe ride. I highly recommend this Viator tour with Gold Beach, and I recommend asking for Julie as your tour guide.

Beautiful place, great guide!
Mechelle_M, May 2024
The Jean-Charles was a great guide, he was attentive, gave great insight, was easy to hear and understand. I liked that he had a microphone connected to the car radio so everyone could hear him. The Abby was just as beautiful as you can imagine. Great stop, and would suggest to anyone.

Tour was nice, but...
Aleksandr, May 2024
Tour was nice, but complaint was that his French accent made it very difficult for us Americans to catch everything she was telling us. Also it was almost no free time.
Response from Host, May 2024
We have read your rather disappointing comments. She is a good guide that is improving every day and at least we are proud to have guides that speak Two languages. Now you took a tour with other people as it was a Shared Tour. These other people have all given this guide a thumbs up and a great review and you were the only negative one. In this case we go with the majority and believe She did her job well. We will not be firing her in the near future and will continue to encourage her in her career. Thank you for your comments.
Wonderful Day
Johannes_H, Apr 2024
The entire trip was amazing. Our guide Kate provided so much information about the region and Mont St. Michel. She was very passionate about telling the story of Mont. St. Michel. Highly recommend this tour and if you are lucky you will get Kate as your guide.

Amazing site. Guide was helpful in explaining the history and made the trip very easy to do. Tour could have moved at faster pace though and could be condensed down to maybe an hour less.

5 Stars!
Olger_T, Apr 2024
Our tour to Mont Saint Michel with Gold Beach Company was outstanding. The meeting spot was easy to find, and the van was comfortable. Our tour guide was excellent, and she provided an informative overview of Mont Saint Michel and Normandy during the van ride. The shuttle to the “island” was convenient. There are quite a few steps to reach the Abbey, and the guide took a leisurely pace, allowing those with physical challenges to kee up. The views from the Abbey were spectacular, and the guide shared information detailing the site’s origins. Overall, this is a 5 star tour.

An unforgettable tour and beautiful day at Mont St Michel.
Eileen_F, Apr 2024
I came to Bayeux with a group of four for the Mont St Michel all day tour. Two more people were in our group snd they were very nice. Oliver was our guide and he was wonderful. He is extremely knowledgeable about Mont St Michel. It took me a little longer than the rest of my group to climb all the stairs, but I did and I'm glad of it. I wouldn't have wanted to miss the view! Oliver was patient and a very good tour guide. I had read all the reviews ahead of the tour and it's helpful to do that.

A great day
Greg_T, Apr 2024
We highly recommend this. Mariam was our guide and she did a great job. It is a must see in the Normandy area and we felt it was better with a guide. It was worth the money. This is our second tour with Gold Coast and both have been wonderful.

Well worth the wait.
Diane_B, Apr 2024
A long time to wait to vist this amazing place did not disappoint. Our guide did an amazing job of sharing the history and really, her love showed through as we were guided through the history of Mont St Michel. The addition of the bridge was a great surprise and a small let down but really, at now 70 yrs, I was happy not to take off my shoes to walk the low tide to visit.

A must see at some point in your life.

Our tour guide Kate was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We powered through some challenging weather and she didn't let it phase her (or us) a bit! Just an amazing place with so much history. Does not disappoint.

Stunning and educational!
Lois_L, Mar 2024
Prior to this trip I had not even heard of Mont-Saint-Michel. WHAT A GEM....visually sunning, loads of history, great little town with so many places to eat and shop. Our tour guide Oliver was great, he was a wealth of knowledge but didn't overwhelm us. Thanks to him for suggesting the one of a kind Omelettes at La Mere Poulard - expensive but worth the experience (and the taste) . My only 'complaint' is that there was a lot of stair climbing and some of the group was not prepared/able to move at the same pace as others. The time there was limited and those of us that could get around quicker were held back. When you're on vacation and you only have a limited amount of time that can be frustrating, in the tour description it would be nice to have some sort of disclaimer on the 'fitness' level that is needed to do the tour.

350 steps to climb
Marcia_S, Mar 2024
The tour itself was good. It would have been useful to have had recommendation on what to wear, etc for challenging climb to the top of the Abbey. Steps were steep and unstable and many part had no hand rails. The two guides were not as fluent in English and appeared quite nervous when presenting narratives. A lot of the explanations were lost. One good aspect of this trip was that the tour started earlier than most excursions so we were able to see most of the areas in the abbey without crowds. However, by noon, a lot of tour groups pacted the village areas and it was not pleasant navigating through the crowd.

Enchanting view and legend
Jun_T, Mar 2024
Our guide Loraine was bubbly and funny, and her knowledge of Mont Michel history is good, and eagerly answers to questions with a hints of jokes on side that entertain the experience. The van was comfortable and despite it was full, it wasn't cramped, so it was grand. Loraine recommended affordable eating spots and cautioned about tourist traps. The rendezvous point at place de Québec is easy to find and guides can find clients quite quickly. I enjoyed my tour to Mont Michel and it was great doing with a guide than figuring out alone how to navigate to the island, parks, drive in the highways, it's way economical, and getting by smoothly without the hassle. I think a day tour is enough, staying the night be interesting to see the sunrise and tide flow, but other than that, a day would be sufficient to experience the island and abbey well. I would recommend the Gold Beach Company tours for your Mont Michel tours.

Magnificent Mont Saint Michel tour
baxeconn, Nov 2023
Kate was an excellent tour guide. She is personable, friendly and full of knowledge. It was a cold day and the rain held off until the afternoon. The crowds were small and it was easy to move around the abbey and village. We had enough time to thoroughly explore on our own once Katie finished with her guided tour. A memorable day. Thank you.
