Mont Saint-Michel - We had a wonderful day trip from Paris to Saint-Michel. This tour will not disappoint. The abbey and views are amazing to see!! It ends off with a quick cider tasting which we enjoyed. Our tour guide, Nic (Nicolas) was very informative, helpful and kind!!! He went out of his way for us!!! He is also a good driver.

Excellent tour! Beautiful architecture! - We had Antoine as a tour guide in early June 2025. We had a great time! The drive took between 3.5-4 hours each way with a couple stops for food and bathroom breaks. The scenery during the drive is beautiful. When we arrived, Antoine taught us about the history of the region and Mont Saint Michel. He walked us to the abbey (lots of stairs!) and let us explore independently before meeting in the early afternoon and driving back to Paris. Highly recommend this tour! The architecture is incredible and we felt like the tour provided enough time to enjoy everything.

A wonderful experience. - It is a long day but worth it. Philippe was entertaining and gave us good background history of Mont St Michel before we went in the abbey with the audioguide. We had plenty of time on our own to walk around exploring, have lunch and do some shopping. The drive back gave us the chance to have a little sleep! We enjoyed it very much.

Worth it ! - I travelled with my mother on the Mont St Michel tour. It was a fun experience. The guides drove safely, provided plenty of opportunities for a bathroom break. The van was air conditioned and clean. Seating was comfortable. My mother walks with a cane, so when she was slow the guides were kind and patient with us as she trailed behind the group. I would highly recommend wearing sensible shoes that have a good grip. There are many steps to climb and many of the surfaces are slippery or uneven. We were given time to self explore the island, which was nice not to have to follow a strict way. We appreciated that our group was small with only 8 people . Definitely worth taking this excursion

Worth the visit - What a great day out to experience something so stunning as Mont St Michel. It was a long day but well worth it, nice to relax and watch out the window. Philippe was a fantastic tour guide with a good sense of humour 😊 plus we loved his “hidden alley” to the top

Rushed through Mont St. Michel - Overall the trip has great and stunning views. But I feel we were rushed and the ride was not smooth as he seemed like he was in a hurry. Speeding and bumpy ride. And felt like we were rushed and didn’t have enough time at Mont St. Michel as we have to meet up at 3 pm. Not enough time to tour the Abbey and have lunch. We are back at Paris before 7pm

Small Group tour of Mont St Michel - It is a long day and a big trip but well worth it - absolutely love Mont St Michel. We did the small group tour because it is normally more personalised. Had done this tour a few years before and we had a wonderful French guide who really knew his history. Unfortunately, this time we weren't so lucky with the guide.. but the day was still great, and my partner whose first time it was going there, still has fond memories of the trip.

Venue excellent the transportation airline economy seating at best - Excellent venue and tour guide Matthew was informative and entertaining. Whereas the supposed luxury vans are minivans that only seat 6 adults in an airplane back cabin economy class seating at best, if you are the 7th or 8th adult you get last row seating, where the leg room that can only be comfortable for a child. The cider stop is an opportunity for a local vendor to pitch their wares and add an additional 20 to 30 minutes to a 12+ hourlong day that already includes 7+ hours in the fore-mentioned airplane economy seating. Fortunately my tour was only 3 participants and we had plenty of space to overcoming what would have been the cramped seating.
