This is a long bus ride, but well worth it. Mont Saint Michel is truly an amazing place and a definite must see on your itinerary. We skipped the included lunch and got in some extra sightseeing. Our guide was enthusiastic and very informative. Excellent!

The tour was great! Just be prepared for a long bus ride, five hours each way. I wish there was more time to spend at Mont Saint Michel; after the tour and lunch we only had about forty five minutes. I would totally recommend this tour to anyone.

A wonderful place. Nice, knowledgeable tour guide lead us into the fantastic medieval world. Keep yourself warm if you go during winter. It's really cold because Mont-Saint-Michel is a stone-built place and you can get no heat there.

I liked the trip, but the tour part was to long. We only had 30 minutes to look around and shop at the end.

I fully recommend this trip. The only thing I would improve is to have more free time at the shops.

Was definitely worth doing. Our guide was very good. However one criticism I would make is in relation to the bus. The on board toilet was not in use. Although we stopped every couple of hours and toilet facilities were available at the stop, there was no provision for anyone who got "caught short".

The trip was ok, and the tour guides were very knowledgeable about this site. I would recommend however not having lunch and taking this time to look around the shops and the beautiful chapel. With lunch there wasn't enough time for looking at anything. The tour of the abbey could have been shorter with more free time to just get the feel of the place. Overall I felt the trip was too rushed and did not cater to those on a spiritual pilgrimage. If you are a keen photographer, there is little time to take anything but snap shots and if you really want the changing tides try another way. If you have time hire a car and book in at one of the near by hotels for a deep and lasting spiritual experience of the energies of Beloved Saint Michael at Mont Saint Michel. Perhaps Viator could introduce an overnight trip! For those with limited time and just wanting to visit a tourist attraction rather than experience it in a spiritual sense then this tour would be perfect.

It is a very long day, but well worth doing if you can't rent a car and do it on your own. We didn't choose the lunch option and just did lunch on our own. Be prepared to walk up a LOT of stairs, but the views at the top are well worth the effort. It was also nice to be able to bypass the lines at the top because we were with this group.

We enjoyed everything EXCEPT the luncheon. It wasn't a good choice of restaurant. More choices rather than a set menu.

It was interesting, but drive is too long - 4.5 hours. Also, be ready to have not only English speaking people on the bus. In our case there was commentary in Japanese, English and Spanish and it takes too long to get enough information, because they speak about one object three times. Lunch was so so, omelet was very different as well as a cider. Be ready to spend at least 2 hours inside in cold rooms of Monastery. The guide was very educated and could give an answer to any question, plus she spoke English and Spanish. If your stay in Paris is short better do something else, do not kill all day by traveling 220 miles away, but if it's not your first time in France do it for a change.
