Leslie_B, May 2024
This has been on my 'bucket list' for many years and it did not disappoint. Communication with the company was easy and we were picked up on time from our hotel and traveled in a very comfortable van. Our guide Adrien was fantastic and he shared lots of information and gave us a very thorough guided tour of the Abbey. Thanks Adrien, it was a pleasure to spend the day with you.

David_B, Apr 2024
Extremely knowledgeable tour guide who obviously takes his job seriously. Endless amounts of information, well done! Balanced time perfectly leaving an hour and a half for the village, and believe me, that's more than enough.
Breathtaking

Awesome Day at Mont Saint-Michel with Adrian! Merci
Rachel_C, Apr 2024
We had a wonderful trip to Mont Saint-Michel (MSM) lead by Adrian! Adrian was exceptional, told us lots of stories on the way there and back, and when actually there, Adrian was excellent at both bringing the history of MSM to life but also answering every possible random question he was asked. I would highly recommend taking this tour!

Mont Saint Michel - Breathtaking Scenary
Cindy_C, Feb 2024
It started out with a history of Bayeux as we were driving around the square of the village. Our guide had extensive knowledge of history and was once a history teacher. He took time as we navigating up the inclines and stopped and not only provided us not only with a rest but a history of the timeline of the the building of Mont Saint Michel. He gave us an expernience we will never forget.
Excellent

Sensory overload
Matt_W, Dec 2023
The incredibly rich history and vistas was sensory overload! I brought my family for France vacation and this tour paired with a trip to Normandy was unmatched! Don’t hesitate to come visit!
Extraordinary experience
Jorge_P, Dec 2023
Rose is the best tour guide ever. We were fortunate to have her exclusively since nobody else signed for the tour. ( Off season, blustery cold and rainy day) She explained the history of pretty much everything from the village famous restaurants that makes 45€ Omelletes, to how St. Michael put a hole on the bishop head to encourage this church to be built, to the use of every room in the Abbey. On our free time we invited her to have lunch with us and we had a lovely lunch in one of the local restaurants at the village. She even arranged for us to get early train tickets for our return to Paris. The Abbey, the village and this whole place is mystical and worth a visit. If you want to see the place surrounded by water at high tide, you can find information on line on when it’s going to happen but you will also have to deal with long lines and hordes of people. The rain added to the mystery of the place and kept the crowds to a bare minimum.
Wonderful experience at Mont St Michel with Lucie
Patrice_C, Dec 2023
Lucie was a knowledgeable and informative guide for our Mt St Michel excursion. She answered all manner of questions on history and culture. She has a warm personality and delightful laugh. Highly recommend
Highly recommend!
