Private Tour: Mont Saint Michel and Saint Malo Day Trip

You'll really appreciate the magic of Mont Saint Michel and Saint Malo on a private tour of these exquisite French highlights. The fairytale island of Mont Saint Michel is just off the coast of Normandy, and is one of the most popular attractions in France. You'll have the individual attention of your expert tour guide on your personalized private tour.

With two and a half million visitors a year, Mont Saint Michel is undoubtedly Normandy's most spectacular attraction. The abbey traces its roots back to 708 A.D. As the centuries went by, buildings were added and enlarged, using the different architectural styles of the time and resulting in the enchanting abbey and monastery we admire today.

You'll have free time to take a walk around the fascinating World Heritage–listed island. Perhaps you'd like to take a wander along Mont Saint Michel's narrow streets, browse the shops on the main street, visit the island's museums or take a walk around the abbey's ramparts, with views over the sands of the bay.

Next, it's on to the old town of Saint Malo. You'll drift back in time as you walk through streets ringed by high fortified walls. The spectacular views of the port and bay look just as they were when 16th-century explorers such as Jacques Cartier, who discovered Newfoundland, would have seen them.
Perhaps you'd like to try one of the creperies, much loved by the locals, where you will find the regional specialty, a galette bretonne. Or try the numerous seafood restaurants where you can sample the fishermen's catch, freshly caught that morning.
