Mont Saint-Michel Small-Group Day Trip with Abbey Entrance & Cider Tasting

Antoine was informative, very nice and a good driver! A must see. The rain couldn’t spoil the day. Not much to eat on Mont St Michele for vegans so plan ahead.

Well worth the day and the drive. Ollie was an excellent guide with interesting facts and information. The abbey is amazing. The cider tasting is brief but a nice break before the long ride back to Paris.

Hidden gem. Super comfortable new vans. Knowledgable tour guide. Loved having only 7 people in a group, made the trip that much nicer. Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend this trip. Claire was excellent, helpful, very knowledgeable, and kept everyone’s spirits up on a particularly hot day.

Was lovely seeing Mont Saint-Michel. Being in the minivan was very nice, and there were only 4 of us on this tour. Our guide, Ali, was fantastic, giving us insights into France and it’s history and culture, as well as re: Normandy! His English was excellent as well. Everything was spot on time with a well organized and executed tour. We also enjoyed the cider tasting.

This was an amazing adventure for us. We enjoyed the small group camaraderie on our road trips to and from Mont St. Michel from Paris. Our guide, Olivier, was very knowledgeable and fun. The site is an architectural wonder in a natural setting, rich in historical detail. Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs, but the views around each corner are worth every step! Definitely a highlight of our trip!

Early start and late finish but a great day and well worth the effort! Antoine was a great guide - knowledgeable and friendly. We had a very small group of 4 so it was very personable. The cider tasting was really just a pit stop on the way back though to try some cider, but still interesting. Be warned - there are a lot of stairs so it is not for the faint-hearted but the climb up to the abbey is well worth it, especially if you get there for the midday mass - even if you're not religious!

the tour was in a comfortable air-conditioned van. There were 8 of and Tony our driver was great. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. Mont St. Michel was incredible, and he made the climb seem easy as I was apprehensive about this. I also enjoyed the cider tasting which was a private event for our group.

The day was very long but we expected that. The tour guide was very nice, but not much talking for duration of trip from Paris until we got to Mont Saint Michel. He did explain things once we arrived at Mont Saint Michel which he did a good job of. Van is more of a Cargo/mini van style. It was very clean and well kept. You are not allowed to eat or drink on the van other than water. Note the seats DO NOT recline which would have been nice for the travel time as it’s about a 4 hour drive to get there and then the same 4 hour drop I’ve back to Paris. The views across the French countryside were beautiful. We really enjoyed the day but could have been more comfortable in another style of vehicle . They provided one stop either direction at a gas station/plaza type location. Restrooms lines were very long.

Tony was a great tour guide! Very personable and informative. Attentive to the needs of the group. I would highly recommend this day trip.
