Magical - Claire the guide was excellent. Make no mistake, it is a long day with a 4hr bus trip both there and back from Paris. But we felt it was well worth it. After visiting the abbey, there is plenty of time to eat/shop/walk around before catching the shuttle back to the bus.

Most Amazing Visit - This is a must visit and will not disappoint. Got up early in Paris and drove 3hrs or so to Mont Saint Michel and even from a distance driving in, it just looks amazing.
Parked in car park and caught shuttle bus to the site. Still a little walk to entrance. Whole site was very busy but they catered for it easily. You must do the abbey as it is awesome and has great views up there. We saw the huge line to get in, so i jumped onto website and booked some fast passes and got in way quicker with an entry time. Many different places to explore. We were all saw from all the walking and steps/staircases, but it was thoroughly worth it. DO NOT MISS VISITING HERE

Highly recommended hotels in Central Mountain - Great, very high CP hotel! Room space is spacious, clean and comfortable, and the 2nd floor relaxation area offers hot drinks and snacks, great! There are plenty of food nearby, as well as convenience shops and the Universal Welfare Center supermarket, and the express station is only a few minutes' walk away.

A Journey to Remember - The bus trip there and back was smooth and comfortable even though the weather was cold and rainy. We stopped about halfway there for bathroom breaks and refreshments. Our tour guide, Florence, prepared us for each phase of the tour. As expected, the trek to the Abbey involved many steps and there are no lifts available.
However, once reaching the top level, it was truly worth the climb. Florence was an amazing guide. I don’t think we could have fully appreciated the whole experience without her interesting and informative commentary. We are so glad we took the journey from Paris to Mont Saint Michel!

Just do it! - It was an excellent tour ! We loved it. The only drawback was that the guide had to repeat everything twice. Once in English and second in Spanish. It made for a too slow of a visit. But Wow thus place is so unique and well worth going!

Great tour, highlight was the tour guide, seeing Mont St Michel and the Cat Pillow Cases - Honestly the tour itself was awesome - tour guide was my highlight - I just would not recommend doing 2x 4hr trips just to visit Mont Saint Michel - the whole day was spent on the bus essentially, which if you have a lot of time in Paris, I guess that is not so bad but maybe pair this with a night stay in Normandy and visit another site if possible.

Poorest tour I've ever been part of - I thought i booked an English tour, but it was English and Spanish which was hard hearing over and over
The tour guide, did her thing, but there was no real leading of a group and by the end, out of 24 people may be 7-8 were left in the group. Very disorganized, felt like I deserved a refund, i wonder what those people who left felt?
