Worth the drive! - Wow!...what a day! Yes, there is a lot of driving, but if you bring portable chargers for devices and pillows...you will be great. Our tour guide and driver were excellent. The rest stops were planned well, the lunch restaurant is quaint, and the tour of the Mont was solid. It is such an amazing place to see and if you are vacationing in Paris and don't have the time to stay in Normandy, then this is the tour for you.

This was one of the... - This was one of the highlights of our stay in France. Although it was a long ride, the stop for lunch in the countryside was a lovely break — and the food was delicious. Mont Saint-Michel was absolutely stunning, and having a private tour guide made exploring the town much easier and more meaningful. If you’re short on time in France but want to experience this incredible place, I highly recommend this tour.

The pictures of Mont-Saint-Michel - The Abbey was absolutely beautiful! The views from the balconies were breathtaking. Also the guide from Viator gave an educational tour that was unmatched. Everyone who takes this tour will be very pleased!

The perfect private tour! - This has long been on our to do list and we finally made it happen. And it was everything we hoped for and more. Our driver, Rushem (I apologize if I misspelled his name) was amazing. Picked us up on time, took us to a wonderful farm restaurant lunch, led us to our guide ar the abbey (climbing all those stairs to be sure we made it with no snafus). This is one of the best excursions we have ever done!

Great Experience - Great experience and very good and friendly guide (Rusti). It is a long drive but we rode in a very comfortable Mercedes van with captain’s chairs. Mont St. Michele was amazing and we enjoyed our time there. We also went to Omaha beach in Normandy for a short while, which was also very cool. Definitely recommend this tour!

Absolutely and completely delighted with this experience! - I was delighted by this tour! The driver and tour guide were knowledgeable, flexible, and provided just the right amount of support and expertise to fully experience this magical place without a feeling of suffocation I’ve had on tours in the past. I wasn’t sure what to expect upon booking at a rather high price, but the tour was worth every penny. Such a delightful and unforgettable experience! I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

Absolute experience you should not miss while vacationing in Paris. - There were 2 parts to the tour with Cyrus.
Travelled with my daughters and niece.
First stop was at Calvados at Pere Magliore where we tasted their excellent brandy and bourbon. They had a high tech presentation of their history and how they prospered for 2 centuries. That was an unexpected and amazing experience that left us in awe. Everyone visiting Paris should take this tour with Cyrus!
The afternoon was a visit to Mont St. Michel. Cyrus gave us an engaging history of this most visited site. The climb to the top is not easy but once you get there, you will soon know why this is a remarkable experience. Cyrus came with us all the way to the top and then allowed us to tour the abbey with audio guide.
This tour is highly recommended.

merci - Jane was excellent. Informative, interesting and energetic. Vlad was very nice as well and was an exceptional driver. Although the drive is long, we felt it was 100% worth it. A magical place for sure.

Never again - NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY. Absolutely 1 star. Driver came on time and car was clean, comfortable.
However he was not aware that the tour was with 3-course lunch. There is no reservation anywhere. 1st restaurant was closed. They told us it will open in 30 min. Btw google star 3.6.. Second restaurant was open and we got seat. However we needed to make sure driver was responsible for the meals. He had NO IDEA what was going on. He had to call the office and figure out how much he can spend. It was 29 euro per person. Meal was average.
Again, NOT WORTH FOR THE MONEY YOU PAY for the tour Btw In the tour description it sounded like lunch was supposed be in the Mont Saint Michel but no such a luck. It was located near the bus stop.
Driver then took us to the bus and guide us to the Mont Saint Michel. Took us through the street to the check in area for the abbey tour.
From there we took normal abbey tour. Tour was worth experiencing. We had some time to walk around after the abbey tour and it was great. However you can do that with any other much less expensive tour.
I DO NOT recommend this tour.

No Show - This tour was a NO CALL/NO SHOW, we ended up being able to receive a full refund after contacting Viator Support with messaging proof that this tour never showed up for pickup and never responded to any of our messages. Not sure what happened here but I would hope in the future if they are unable to fulfill and tour for whatever reason, that they send a cancellation message. We had to wake up at stupid thirty to get ready for this and waited for over an hour for a response after the pickup time and then had to wait another hour or so for Viator to confirm that pickup never happened before they could refund we could move on with our day.
