Husband really enjoyed the tour very informative and well worthwhile . Unfortunately I was not able to go as I had a cast my foot. The highlight for him was the lunch and the Abby . The guide was very good and very knowledgeable.

I worried that this tour would have too lengthy of a bus ride, but it was not. The ride through Normandy was in a nice bus with one 30 minute stop. The tour guide was knowledgable, helpful, and went out of her way to make us comfortable and to answer questions. The tour of the Mont was perfect. The included lunch was mediocre, because the restaurant is not quaint and the food very average. I saw some participants who came on this tour and did not pay for the guide. I felt that they really missed out on her commentary. I was glad that I had bought the guided version. All in all, this is not too long or too hard of a day trip from Paris. Very worth it!

Highly recommended! Even though my transportation from my hotel to the main office never showed up (I paid extra). The 5 hour drive is well worth it. I enjoyed the included luncheon very much. Our guide was very informative.

Our guide was very informative and the double decker bus was comfortable. Our driver was very experienced driving a big bus like that inside and outside the city.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating. Other than that, the tour was fantastic.

We really enjoy the tour and the guide was fantastic. It would have been much better if the guide only talked in 1 language. We didn't particularly enjoy listening to the excellent commentary in a foreign language the second time.

A great experience and worth the 4 hours plus each way on the coach. Definitely have the guided tour and lunch option. The Guide was fabulous and really explains it all. Great experience.

Wonderful site-good guides and drivers
Fair to poor lunch-very slow-only a few people had the promised view of the abbey. Although the large dining room was almost empty, the tour group was place way over to the side where there was only one small window.

This was an excellent tour. The guide we had was for the english speaking and spanish speaking people on the tour. Thought she was very thorough. The meal we had was excellent but I wish the amount of time spent at the restaurant was less and more time at the Mont Saint Michel. The only real dampers were our late arrival back in Paris due to traffic and weather but the two drivers they had were extremely good at their jobs. The other damper was that one guide sat in front of my friend and myself on the bus and I have to say he really needs a lesson in personal hygiene.

I think the tour was interesting and the guide was knowledgeable. She was always giving us information and making sure we were all there. The bus service was also great!

After nearly 5 hours of sitting in the bus, the last thing we wanted to do was go directly to the restaurant and sit some more waiting for lunch. The dining room was full and we could see that it would be a minimum of an hour before we were served. Our goal was to see/photograph Mont St Michel. We left the restaurant without eating, tracked down the guide to get our tickets to the abbey, missed the guided tour, so not great value for the money. Mont St Michele, however, was stunning and our photos are lovely. We would not recommend this tour. Too much sitting, not enough doing.

It is a beautiful location, but the tour operator makes you feel like cattle being herded. I would not book a trip with them again.

Our visit to Mont Saint Michel was a wonderful experience. We had lovely scenery through Normanday and then Saint Michel - worth the trip with the bus!

Even though it is a bit of a journey from Paris, well worth the experience, and you get to see the scenery along the way and the guides commentary on the way was very imformative
