Long queues but worth it!

Amazing experience at the Mont St Michel! Be prepared for the long queues at the shuttle, the tickets (even with an express ticket!) and the queue exiting from the island. Not advisable for prams. But trip was totally worth it!

Be prepared for a very long day. The organization at the start needs improvement. It took far too long to check everyone in with no clear direction upon arrival especially with two different tours starting at the same location. The destination is worth the trip so do some serious research to see if others are able to deliver a more efficient excursion.

Very long day trip

Mont Saint-Michel is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Our guide was very knowledgeable. However, this is a very long day trip with most of the time spent on a bus. Make sure you have your charging cables and books to read.

Mont Saint-Michel is stunning, a must-see. Amazing history and architecture. A wonderful experience - the only disappointment was the state of the bus. The upstairs front windscreen had numerous cracks in it and there were a lot of stains in the interior

Sandrine our guide was fabulous. She was extremely patient and so informative. It was a long drive but the bus was comfortable and we had a breakfast stop on the way and a dinner stop on the way home. And it was so worth going all that way! Mont St Michel is beautiful!!!

The climb up Mont Sainte Michel was a lot steeper than expected. Plus the walk to the base was longer than anticipated. A whole lot of climbing like climbing a mountain. Mont Sainte Michel was amazing. The views were spectacular. Recommended for people who like and expect to walk.

Excellent Field Trip…Not For The Weak

If you cannot rent a car and stay overnight out there…then this is the next best thing. But the trip is long. Be prepared. The bus is comfortable but unnaturally cold. The bathroom break, 2 hours into it, had convenient 50 euro sweaters and jackets for purchase. Yikes! The Mont is fantastic! Great place to visit and explore.

A lot for a little
Sara_D
, Jun 2022
The Abbey & town itself is a place I would recommend experiencing however this tour felt less like a tour and more like just a bus ride. The ride itself takes about 5 hours each way with an extremely long stop at a gas station both ways. The tour guide strongly encouraged everyone to eat lunch before going to the abbey however there really isn't that much to do once you get to the destination besides tour the abbey which takes about 90 mins and then you have about 2 hours to kill. It's difficult to walk around the town because of the crowds & most of the gift shops are cheesy & overpriced. Would really have liked to have a nice lunch at one of the restaurants instead of filling up on gas station sandwiches.

Nice venue, long day
Richard_M

I cannot give our guide a positive review. Visitors take a shuttle bus from the parking lot to the bridge. As soon as our guide exited the bus, he bolted and started the narration. By the time we exited the bus, he had exceeded the range of his transmitter. When we caught up and asked him not to make us run, he was defensive as if it was our fault. Another tour member offered that the guide's transmitter did not have much range. Zsa Zsa's answer was to make sure we had our volume turned up (instead of, "OK, I'll do better moving at a pace where we can all stay together.") People considering this tour should know that it's a 14 hour ordeal. You spend twice as long in the bus as you do at the tour site. As is obvious from the photos of Mont St Michel, there is a lot of uphill/up stairs walking. I counted that day as a full workout. After the guided tour, you have an opportunity to eat lunch and there are many options. The place we chose was good and offered a nice view of the bay. On both outbound and inbound bus legs, we made a pit stop at a nice rest stop store with a good selection of food.

Mont Saint-Michel on my wish list
Nuria_B
, May 2022
Visiting Mont Saint Michel has been on my travel list and I am happy I was able to complete it. The experience was wonderful, it is a must see scenery if you travel to France. Rocio our tour guide was very nice, helpful, knowledge and made her self understand pretty well, always ensuring the group was together to avoid inconveniences. Nevertheless this is an expensive tour and I am not happy and disappointed that the Spanish tour guide group was affected with time delays because of the other tourists that were traveling in their own and that we had to share the same bus from/to Paris. Language groups that chooses an pay a higher price for a tour guide should travel separately. Viator needs to include more description regarding the tour so tourist know better that it is a 4 hour ride from a Paris to Mont Saint-Michel and additional 4 hours to get back. The effective time at the tour place is 4 hours.

Greatly disappointed! Not recommended. Same bus for 3 different groups -packed & not convenient at all. The guide was talking only for 1 hour out of a 12-hour journey! No guide in the Abbey, only in the bus and then you are alone to explore the abbey and the city. Also, not the guide's english not good, didn't understand the descriptions.

Viator canceled this tour with the provider and I had to pay again $318 euros. They keep me thinking I was booked but canceled in the background. I will be requesting a full refund from Viator shortly. Thanks to the city tour provider they found space and provided how Viator canceled my reservation. This is the first time thus happen but very disappointed.

As advertised, a lot of time on the road but I'm happy to have been able to squish the visit in a day. The guide was kind and informative. There were too many people waiting for the shuttle on the way back we had to walk from the Mont St-Michel to the parking, which took about 35 minutes. Great experience overall.
