Good experience with a great guide - Julie was an excellent guide. So knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I can’t imagine seeing this site without a guide. We had a few hiccups out of her control and she handled them with grace and professionalism.

A must, but only if you can handle the crowds. - Bring your patience and wear good walking shoes! It’s worth it! Magnificent abbey sitting atop a village surrounded by water. The abbey is so interesting and historical with so many stories told by the guides. The village is VERY crowded which makes it difficult to navigate. We walked down from the abbey on the outside of the village to avoid the crowds. I think the most beautiful vista is approaching the abbey from the bus that brings you to the foot of the mount.

Great Small Group Tour of Mont St. Michel! - We had Arthur as our tour guide of Mont St. Michel and he did an excellent job of giving us the historical background needed to fully appreciate our visit to the site. His knowledge of Mont St. Michel and the surrounding countryside was truly astounding and he really made our visit very interesting. It is an amazing place to visit!

Knowledgeable Guide Enhanced the Experience - Our guide, Katell, is from the local Normandy area so she enhanced the trip by explaining legends and being able to answer many questions beyond Mont St Michel. She pointed out many sites as we were touring and you realize how the experience is so much better with a knowledgeable guide. As we returned, she offered us all further information as we continued our Normandy stay.

Mont Saint-Michel excellent tour. - From the moment we met our guide, Kate, we were made to feel at home. Kate was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. She took time to explain everything and also took time to answer our questions about every day life in France. One of the best guides we have had. I highly recommend. She took care to explain the physical aspect of the steps and helped place an older guest in a good location to meet us at the conclusion.
