Great guides and must see spot. - Daniel and Critica were very helpful preparing us for the tour. The stories leading into the tour were delightful. For those that hadn't downloaded the app before the tour, they helped with the download and log in process.

Incredible trip to Mont Saint Michel! - Really great way to see Mont Saint Michel from Paris in a single day! It's a long day, but the ride was comfortable with rest stops each way and friendly tour guides. Mont Saint Michel is a must-see!

Lovely Day Trip from Paris! - This was a lovely (albeit long) day trip to Mont. St. Michel. The bus left at 7 am and returned to Paris at 8:30 pm. - The bus ride is 4-5 hours each way. It is a coach bus, very comfortable. There was no WiFi on our bus, but it was quiet and good for a nap or catching up on a good book. - The bus stopped for 20-30 minutes for bio breaks and food halfway there and back. - There is a LOT of walking and stairs on this excursion. To get up to the church there is a winding road up and likely 200+ stairs. Would not recommend if this is a challenge for you. - It is beautiful at the top, especially if the weather is nice. - I thinking calling this a guided tour is a misnomer. The guide on the bus provides some information, but on the Mont, you are on your own with a recorded audio guide that you download onto your phone (bring headphones!). This worked well for me, as I am happy to wander and go at my own pace, but I would not call this a ‘guided tour’. - All in all a lovely day, and I would definitely recommend it!

Long day, but well worth it - The views were amazing and well worth the long day on the bus. The tour ran on time, the guides were knowledgable and the bus was clean and comfortable. Mont St Michel is a must see.

Excellent and has recommended the tour to friends. - Excellent tour. Left on time but had some delay in going back to Paris as one tourist forgot to change his watch so he delayed the return to Paris.

Mont Sainte Michel - Great tour. We had enough time to see everything. Bus ride was a little long but worth it. Our tour guide, Daniel, was very helpful. Glad I did the tour.

Tour/Transportation - The Mont Saint Michel was definitely worth visiting. It's stunning and the small town is a pure Gem! I Highly recommend visiting. Spectacular views! However, I wouldn't call this a tour. The tour guides were friendly enough and got us back safely but didn't add a lot to the experience. If you're looking for a convenient way to get to Mont Saint Michel from Paris then this tour is fine. Be warned they will leave without you if you do not get back to the bus on time! Our tour bus left 3 people at the island! Don't get stranded 4.5 hrs from Paris.

Nice place to visit, maybe not from Paris - The seats on the bus did not have enough leg room. Our knees were hurting from being pressed into the seat in front of us after 8 hours in the bus.

Wonderful but Not Enough - Beautiful, breathtaking destination with a great tour guide, but only a 3/5 experience because there is not a lot of time allowed at Mt. Saint-Michel before having to return to the bus. It is a 4 hour ride both ways on a bus with wifi that didnt work, and only about 3 hours at the destination. From the parking area to the abbey is 45 minutes walk, or waiting in line for a bus ride also takes about 45 minutes. It is the same amount of time getting back from the island to the parking area, so you are left with about 90 minutes at the island. It is barely enough time to see the abbey and get a quick meal despite the entire trip being about 13 hours start to finish.
