Beautiful Trip - Mont Saint Michelle is approximately four hours and 15 minutes from Paris by bus. Despite the lawn bus ride, it is more than worth it at the end as you approach this beautiful island. The beautiful countryside which is covered. With sheep it’s very tranquil. The host was very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as Mount Saint Michele . I do recommend. La MerePoullard for a brilliant meal . The island is magical through out..

It’s spectacular. Worth... - It’s spectacular. Worth the trip. It downpoured as we arrived so dressing appropriately is a must. Great communication by the tour guide. Keep us informed throughout the trip.

Unique Beauty - Team with highly trained and educated professionals. The only score I make is that the tour takes approximately 14 hours and has only 04 hours to explore the island. In my opinion, if you want to know the place better I recommend staying near the region, as the tour becomes more interesting.

Great day trip - It is a big bus commute of around 4 hours - one way - for about three hours of exploration time. Good for a taste of a really special place, though it can be crowded and the shuttle buses can take a cut of your time.

I learned a lot - I did 3 tours with Paris City Visio; D Day sights, Versailles and Mt St Michel. The guides knew their stuff and were passionate about it. Chris (D Day) was fun but sometimes hard to understand. Nati (Versailles) was lovely. Steve (Mt. St. Michel) didn’t disappoint. The drivers were competent. I never felt unsafe. The “ground crew” were friendly and efficient. The busses are definitely not have no WiFi or working bathrooms. One bus had no charging outlets, another broken outlets and seats that were broken. Thankfully the bus wasn’t full so no one had to sit in seats with wonky backs. Two of the trips were lengthy-over 3 hrs each way-so a better equipped bus would have been much more appreciated.

Do Not Book Audio Guide - I thought Audio Guide was a Radio with Headphones where the Guide would talk to you... It was a web link to listen to stuff. Mont Sant Michel was nice though, very empty.

Mint St Michel. - Long day with 4-5 hours each way. Excellent guides and driver. Interior of bus was dirty and one of our co-passengers had to sit in a very uncomfortable seat the whole trip. No other seats available. Mont. st Michel should not be missed Worth the long day!

Really expensive bus ride - To clarify, the DESTINATION (Mont St. Michel) is amazing. The JOURNEY was not. I give the tour company 1 star. There are so many concerns I will lay out below. 1) Our day started with the expectation that travellers arrive at the pick up point at 6:55am, with the coach departing at 7:15. By 7:15 our coach had not arrived yet. It was not even communicated to us that the coach was late until 7:25. We departed at 7:45, ultimately costing us 30 minutes at our destination. 2) We found seats and discovered that 2 of our 4 seatbelts were broken, and one of the seats was permanently reclined with the lever broken. Safety is clearly not a priority. 3) All of our seat pockets had someone else’s trash in them from a previous tour. Cleanliness did not seem to be a priority either. 4) The overhead storage area is laughable. There are about 3 inches of clearance. It works for a jacket, but will be of no use to get backpacks or souvenirs out of the way. 5) I have used Viator dozens of times in many countries, and am generally impressed with the tour companies. Most tour guides exude passion for their country and home, giving enthusiastic stories about the history, geography, culture, food, etc. This tour guide spent about 10 minutes of the entire day telling us about the sheep of the region and the Eiffel Tower lighting up at night. At one point she told us that if we hadn’t paid for an audio guide, “just admire the landscape.” This was a huge missed opportunity for the company to really elevate the tour. She did ask for tips at the end however. 6) Definitely false advertisement, telling customers on the website that we will get 4 hours at the destination. We got to the actual monument at 12:45 and were told to be at the shuttle stop to leave by 3:30. You will not get 4 hours to spend there, even with an on time departure and no traffic. 7) There are no visible USB ports on the coach. Our tour guide did inform us of their location after we left Mont St. Michel, more than halfway through the day. 8) No WiFi on board. While this is mentioned on the website, there are frequent areas of the countryside with no signal. 9) No available bathroom. There was a bathroom but it was not made available. This is difficult if travelling with children and expected to wait 2.5 hours for a rest stop. Overall, while the destination is well worth the drive, this tour company was very expensive for what it was.
