Easiest way to explore mont saint Michel without any stress - Sara was very helpful and coordinated the day well. The weather at mont saint michel was quite cold, rainy and windy but she had umbrellas in the car that really helped!

Crossed an item off my bucket list in the most wonderful way! - Had an amazing trip to Mont St. Michel in the 8-passenger van with Blue Fox Travel! I didn't want to take a large bus to the MSM so this worked out perfectly. Santiago was our guide and he got us there within 3 hrs. 45 mins from the cafe in Paris. (La Flamme). That included a rest stop break mid way. We arrived well ahead of all the tour buses and got to the island via the shuttle in no time. He walked us through the town and gave us some history before giving us our tickets (with audiogude) for the abbey entrance. From there, we were pretty much on our own, but the self guided tour was fine, and it really only took about an hour to walk through the abbey anyway. I had plenty of time to eat a lunch that I had packed and walk around the shops before walking back to the parking lot (about 1.5 miles). All in all, I was on the island for almost 3.5 hours. The day started out foggy but thankfully the sun came out and it was a picture perfect day on MSM! I am so glad I did this trip to cross this wonderful abbey off my bucket list! Knowing that the 8-passenger van is more expensive than a larger minibus, I still feel it was worth it to avoid the crowds and make better time from Paris to MSM. It is a long journey to MSM from Paris and back, but SO WORTH IT. I appreciate having this option and would highly recommend. Santiago was a fantastic guide too! Thank you Blue Fox Travel!

Amazing Experience! Worth the Price! - Amazing tour and fantastic guide! I highly recommend this tour because of the small group size (no large bus and no dealing with traffic or public transportation). My tour guide (named Santiago!) was fantastic--one of the best tour guides I've ever had! He was knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and experienced (and a good driver). Overall, I would say it was definitely worth the money and a must-see destination. I highly recommend this tour from Blue Fox. If anything, I would list the following as small weakness that could be easily addressed: - We only had three hours at Mont Saint Michel. I wish we had a little more time on this island, especially with the long drive and the fact that we got back to Paris earlier than expected (around 7:10pm). We only had time for a quick bite to eat on the island, and it would've been nice to spend more time. - We were lucky that the cider store was open, but it sounded like they are closed sometimes. Where the cider is marketed with the package, I would have been very upset if they weren't open. Again, though, 10/10 stars! Highly recommended (and an excellent guide in Santiago!).

an unforgettable journey - The trip was very interesting thanks to our guide, who was born in Normandy and told us a lot about the region. The Mont Saint-Michel was worth seeing and even the long drive was forgotten when we saw this beautiful view. I would definitely recommend taking this trip

Nice day on the Mont - I've used this company before for a small group trip to Giverny and they do a very nice job. The vans are comfortable, and the guides are very well informed and very accommodating to the group. The drive there actually went pretty quickly, and they stop for a break along the way. We thought we had plenty of time to explore as well as try La Mere Poulard for lunch. On the way back the cider tasting was a lot of fun. Also, after drinking all the cider, it's easy to fall asleep on the way back. The only issue we had with our day was when we got to Mont St. Michel the abbey was closed, and we were not able to take the tour. Later that day I received an email from Blue Fox that they requested partial refund for the tour which I still have not received. Overall, I'd recommend this group and would use them again.
