Excellent tour to one of the most surreal places - We did the full day tour to Mont St Michel (from Bayeux) in early January 2025. The trip to Mont St Michel itself is a couple hours each way, so you spend a lot of time on the road, but our transport was a nice new Mercedes van so it wasn't too bad. You get to see a bit of the countryside at least. Mont St Michel itself is unreal. You've probably seen pictures, but you don't really appreciate the size, scale and beauty of it until you're standing right in front of it. The place just oozes history, having been around in some form for more than 1,000 years. A couple dozen people still live there, and there's plenty of souvenir shops and eateries to satisfy your touristy needs. Our tour guide Kate was awesome. Not only does she have a huge amount of knowledge about the buildings and monastery on the mount itself, but she also gave us a LOT of information about the history not only of Mont St Michel itself, but also of the surrounding region. In short, a great tour to one of the most visited places in France (and rightly so). Highly recommended!

A memorable trip to St Michel's. - Katell picked us up in her clean and modern Mercedes van and drove us from Bayeux to Mont Saint-Michel. The journey took about 90 minutes, after which we made our way to the island. Katell's English was excellent, and her historical knowledge of Mont Saint-Michel, the Normandy region, and the military involvement during World War II was outstanding. She patiently guided us through each area of the monastery, explaining everything carefully, passionately, and precisely. The pace of the tour was perfect. Well done!

Awesome tour ! - The trip to Mont St. Michel was an excellent day ! We were delighted with our tour guide Julie, who described the history and uniqueness of the site with great detail and showed us the distinct beauty and highlights of the area and took the extra steps to answer all of our questions. We highly recommend her for your guests !

Lifelong Dream Realized! - There are destinations that evoke a mystical other-worldly quality. For me, growing up in the U.S., Mont Ste. Michel was one of those places. With Kate as our guide, we were treated to so much more than any written travel guide could provide. Her knowledge of this treasure was remarkable! I leave France with mental images of generations of pilgrims reaching this holy ground built to honor Ste. Michel, high on a granite mountain at the edge of the sea.

Incredible Site, Solid Tour - This was a well-organized tour of an amazing place. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting Mon St Michel, from the long walk across the land bridge to the climb to the top of the monastery. Our tour guide was good, very knowledgeble and personable. I would have enjoyed more interaction - more stories and chat - during the long drive between Bayeux and the site (and back). Otherwise, very pleased with the tour.

Marion was a Fantastic Tour Guide!! - On 6 October 2024, my wife and I participated in the “Mont St Michel Full Day Tour with a National Guide from Bayeux Tour”. I cannot say enough good things about our tour guide, Marion. Marion was professional, pleasant, and knowledgeable in the manner in which she conducted our tour. Marion made the entire tour enjoyable! Marion ensured that we knew what was going on and told us many facts about the locations we visited. I have a bad back and the day before our tour with Marion I accidentally left my “Lumbar Support Cushion” in a different tour van. Our tour guide from the previous day found the cushion in her van, and knowing which tour I was going to be on the next day, found Marion and gave her my cushion which she in turn made sure was returned to me. Without that lumbar cushion, not only would I have not been able to enjoy the tour, but the rest of my vacation in Europe may have been ruined. I am so grateful to Marion for taking care of us as if we were each members of her own family!

Tour with Eliza is a must do - Eliza brought the history of Mont Saint Michel to life with her story telling and enthusiasm and love of Normandie! She even sang for us in the abbey so we can experience the wonderful acoustics in this 1000 year old structure. My only advice is to try to time visit on a clear day. You will get soak walking 10mins from the shuttle stop to the abbey in the rain and wind.
