Wonderful time in St. Mont Michel - Our tour guide, Cècile is very friendly snd patient to answer our questions. She communicated well, she made sure to make it easy for us to meet. She thought ahead and connected with us a day before we met through WhatsApp when we were still in Rennes. By the time we met next day in the parking lot, there was no surprise or delay. She was passionate to explain every detail of the Abbey to make us appreciate more of the history and this made our trip much more interesting beyond our expectation. Yes, this private tour is not cheap but I think it is worth of money since you visited this place once in your lifetime, at least in our case. I would highly highly recommend this tour specially our tour guide Cècile Loiseau to everyone visiting Mont St. Michel.

A most awesome experience - The tour with Aurelia at Mont St Michel was excellent. She went into great detail and covered everything in the allotted time, even though we are not young people (our bodies at least). She was very easy to understand. We will definitely be recommending this tour to our friends.

Amazing place and an amazing guide - Mont St Michel is truly an astounding monument. It was brought to life with detailed and interesting comment by Aurelia during our tour. She clearly explained the history and development and gave us many unusual facts about the amazing place. And she effectively timed her walk so that we were not overtaxed - we are not young folks (at least in our minds). Mont St Michel must be on your bucket list and make sure you take a specialized guide so that you get everything out of your visit.

A memorable trip to Mont St Michele - Excellent!! We were picked up at our location and met our tour guide Natalie and driver. They were great. We asked for a guide who could educate us on France and our destination point Mont St Michel. She exceeded our expectations. Very pleasant, engaging and passionate about her job and sharing with us her deep knowledge. Wish we had more time, even though it was 12 hours due to the long drive, but we did have 3 nice hours at the Mont. Grabbed a delicious baguette sandwich on Main Street before we left. Mont St Michel is breathtaking. Will definitely return to absorb the history. Thank you Natalie for making it a memorable trip.

Something special - Asked for a tour… and help with finding a good spot to propose!
We really enjoyed the tour and the spot suggested by the guide was perfect! Furthermore, the guide took pictures of it that we will hold on to forever. For me personally, some of the tour went past me a little bit for obvious reasons, but the guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and proactive in making it a fantastic experience for us.
And she said yes so we were off to a really great vacation together. :)

Mont St Michel - Claire was GREAT! She was basically a local living one town away and knew all the shortcuts to show us everything in our 3 hours.
I learned so much from Claire. Can’t imagine trying to do that without her. Very fun and well worth it.

Wonderful Experience - The driver was waiting for us at the cruise port promptly. The van was very clean. We arrived at Mont Sainte Michel and met our tour guide, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was also very good with our young kids. She did a great job showing us around. Do not hesitate to book this tour. It was a wonderful experience.

Just Wonderful - Loved our tour of Mont St. Michel. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable. She was able to hold the interest of a five year old and our two teenagers. One of our favorite days so far in France.

Great experience for parents and kids - Evelyn was fantastic and helped show us things that you wouldn’t find on a self tour. You can tell she loves what she does…and people know her on the island. Great experience.
