This is a great way to... - This is a great way to get out to San Michel if you do not want to drive or take public transportation. The bus left on time and was clean. No bathroom to be used on board but they said it up front so it was not an issue. One stop there and one stop back, about 25 minutes each. We had about 3.5 at the abbey. There is a shuttle from the parking lot that will save a lot of time but will be very full and may take a load or two to get you on. The Abbey was stunning. It was great to get out of the city and see a bit of the countryside--beautiful! The little village caters to tourists and is full of restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops. We got some commentary on the bus and our driver was great. It was the perfect way to get a taste of the area and see a wonderful sight!

Mont St. Michel is a... - Mont St. Michel is a wonderful place to visit. The motor coach was new and clean. The seats were comfortable, which was great for the long trip. Our tour guide and driver were excellent. For visiting the Abbey, know that you must climb 350 steps, and come back down. I use a cane, and while it was challenging, it was worth it. Take your time, and there are multiple landing where you can stop and rest. The views from each landing are amazing as well. Know that you cannot use the toilet on the bus, and there is only one stop on each drive.

Amazing site - The only downfall of this trip was that we had to go in a coach. In the last couple of years, we had gone in a van and the trip was much shorter. While we understand that a coach cannot be driven at the speed of a van, it shortens tremendously the amount of time you can spend at Mont St. Michel. It was bitterly cold as there was a lot of wind coming from the sea, but the tour was, as before, extraordinary. It always makes you think how they were able to build such an incredible basilica and fortress and how it has endured through centuries. The drive is worth it to see this Eighth Wonder of the world. People who have gone cannot forget its impact, the beauty, the exceptional uniqueness of this castle on its island. This is my fourth trip to Mont St. Michel with TripAdvisor and they always do an excellent job but try to go there in a van instead of a coach as you will have at least an additional 1.5 hours to enjoy the visit.

Must visit - I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Mont Sant Michel - a true jewel of Paris. This tour should be part of your France trip. Since it was off season, not all restaurants and shops were open but this made the place more quiet which I like since I am more on the sights and experience. I truly recommend a visit to Mont Sant Michel.

It was fun, but... - Unfortunately the weather was so foggy that Mont Saint-Michel was almost hidden, but the tour guide showed us around the building in fluent English until just before we entered, and we had a great time. But is the nearest meeting point in front of the travel agency's main store? It was the same as the nearest station in front of the Louvre, with only the address of the actual meeting point, and we had to take a taxi. I made it just in time, but I had to use a lean sapling as well. I would appreciate it if you could make the notation a little easier to understand. The meeting point is not in front of the gold Joan of Arc statue, but in front of a hotel near Sydney Square by the Eiffel Tower.

The place was great but the bus and tour guide no so much - The buses seats didn’t even recline and the toilet was closed, for a 10 hour drive in total it’s unacceptable. The only time we could use the bathroom was when the bus stopped to fill gas, but the stop was very short and we didn’t have time to use the bathroom and the tour guide started yelling at us because we where taking to long, very rude. The service wasn’t great but the destination was incredible, mont saint michel is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been.

Amazing place - spendy trip - This is a beautiful place - def worth a visit. The tour guide seemed fine - we didn’t really interact with her. The bus was fine, though we are tall - so the folks putting their seats back smacked our knees pretty badly. It is a LONG day in a bus for a few hours there but that’s no surprise. I didn’t realize the audio tour used our own devices and we had no headphones or charger so we couldn’t use that at all. It was basically $330 for a 10hr bus ride. If I had longer to plan, I’d just book my own travel and satay over night. Well organized though - nothing to really complain about, just not great value.
