Visiting Mont Saint Michel was an unforgettable experience, greatly enhanced by our phenomenal tour guide who flawlessly catered to both English and Spanish speakers. Their attention to detail and caring nature truly set them apart. Equally impressive was our bus driver from Bus H, Vil, whose skill and professionalism made the journey one of the best driving experiences I've ever had. The ride itself was as enjoyable as exploring the majestic Mount St. Michel, making the entire trip a remarkable adventure from start to finish.

The location is amazing and well worth the long bus ride. Full of fun little shops and great restaurants, not to mention the history! The tour guide was not worth it, in my opinion. She presented everything in both Spanish and English and, at the cost and with the numbers present, there certainly could have been separate guides for each language. She did not speak English all that well and most of her commentary seemed very stream of thought, rather than rehearsed, making for a lot of info dumping, lost sentences and generally difficult to understand presentation. Were I to do it again, I would get the same trip only without the guided tour aspect. Tip: They jam pack the busses so arrive early for a good seat. Also be aware that there are over 250 steps to get to the monastery, so that could be difficult for those with mobility issues, but there's a good part of the town that can be explored with minimal steps.

Nice tour with knowledgeable guide. This includes an hour guided tour of the Abby and a few hours of alone time to adventure.

Our guide Manuela was excellent. Very nice the whole trip and full of great facts about Normandy and the Abbey. This trip is a very long day, but you can rest on the ride. The bus was very comfortable. The hike to the Abbey is 400 or so steps to the top on varying size stone steps. Definitely not for anyone who struggles with stairs. The actual Abbey is incredible. There is also restaurants and lots of gift shops. Very fund day.
