Amazing Day! - Very well organized, our tour guide Crystal was very knowledgeable and friendly! One stop on the way there and back for food and break. Would strongly recommend, definitely worth the money for guided tour.

My favorite place on earth - There is nothing in the world more magical than this place. The medieval monastery and church dedicated to St. Michael rises from the bay like a heavenly apparition. This UNESCO World Heritage site is very easy to reach from Paris. Lots of uphill walking, but the views are well worth it!

Majestic! - This was a dream come true! I always wanted to see Mont Saint Michel and I thought it would be impossible to make it happen. It was majestic! More than I expected it to be. The tour started on time, the meeting location was not to hard to find. Our guide Crystal was amazing. She had pictures to share of how the Abbey looked like in the old days. She was like a walking history with so much information that you can picture and imagine it. If I ever come back to Mont Saint Michel, I will stay for a night or two.

Lovely tour..Mont Saint-Michel is beautiful.. - Very well managed tour..Special shout out to Fumie our English tour guide who was very patient , kind and knowledgeable.. It was a long day in the bus especially the ride back to Paris but we did get sufficient time to explore Mont Saint-Michel.. This trip is good for those who don't have a lot of time and want to get out of Paris and explore Normandy for a day..

Long journey but well worth it - It was a long journey but well worth it. I was in Paris for the Olympic Games and was looking for a day trip. I would highly recommend this excursion. Saint Michel is absolutely breathtaking. I had to pinch myself a couple of times because I couldn’t believe I was there. Cristal our guide took us to the abbey and had great knowledge about the island. Outstanding experience!

Mt St Michel - done right! - Zoltron was an EXCELLENT guide. Not only on the bus with everyone else, but also on the guided tour through MSM. He got us up close to the Omelette makers, took us through ’secret’ passages and had a wealth of knowledge about MSM. Truly THEE BEST!!!

Amazing Mt Saint Michel and a bad tour - We went to Mont Saint Michel with Paris City Vision on Sept 30, 2024 on a trip we booked through Trip Advisor. Mont Saint Michel is so beautiful and a World Heritage site. Really well worth the long 14hr trip. The down side. The double decker coach we traveled in had seats that were very small with almost no leg room. I have never seen anything like it in all my travels. The seat in front of you is almost touching your knees and there is just no room to adjust or stretch a leg at all. We booked an English speaking tour. Our tour guide was switching back and forth between English and Spanish with a thick accent that was possibly French and spoke very quickly. No warning when switching languages and it was impossible to understand. Also the headsets they had us use were tinny and cut in and out when the guide moved around. The wind was blowing strongly at the site and he continued talking unintelligibly even after being told we couldn’t understand him esp with wind/mic situation. Very disappointing. There is a lot more but let’s just say we won’t be booking here again. For anything.
