Your Itinerary

Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel

This tour transports you from Paris to the magical abbey-crowned island of Mont Saint-Michel, one of the most iconic sights in all of France, aboard a private bus. Offering you a hassle-free way to explore the island with plenty of free time ensuring you do not have to adhere to a rigid sightseeing schedule. As you approach the Mount Saint-Michel, your guide will provide insight on the UNESCO-listed island. Listen to interesting anecdotes about the history of the abbey, whilst admiring the views of the island and the surrounding region of Normandy Mont Saint-Michel began humbly enough in the eighth century, when – citing orders from Archangel Michael himself – a bishop built a church on this small and secluded rock island, which later expanded during the medieval era, attracting an increasingly large number of pilgrims.

Admission Included

Mont-Saint-Michel

You can then choose from some of the many options for lunch, ranging from dining rooms serving rustic meat-focused fare to sophisticated restaurants with bay-view terraces specializing in seafood. Alternatively, you can stop by one of Mont Saint-Michel’s crêperies and feast on galettes (buckwheat pancakes) paired with Normandy cider, for a more casual and characteristically Breton feed. In the late afternoon, re-board the bus for the return journey to Paris, which will see passengers back in the City of Lights well in advance of bedtime.

Astonishingly rude and condescending customer service. I could not find the meet-up place and was basically told I'm dumb. Then they left without me. Refused a refund and now I feel like I was just robbed of $300. I will never support this company again.

The abbey was pretty amazing. Tour guides did a good job of getting us where we needed to be on time. Trip from Paris was nice as well.

STEPS! But take your time, you have plenty to navigate the crowds. The guides were fun to be around. It’s a long day but the “every two hour” stop is a nice addition. The abbey is beautiful. It’s just an overall excellent excursion from Paris. Highly recommended.

I read all these positive reviews about Daniel and Ash, Sid and Daniel, etc. and how they make the trip fun with engaging stories and how well organized it is. Well I guess it depends who your guide is. We got Daniel and Michelle (Mimi). It seems like Mimi is new, and Daniel let her handle all the commentary on the way there, which was unfortunate. Mimi spoke incredibly fast to give the history of France, Paris, Normandy, and Mont St Michel all without pauses, so that we couldn’t follow her. She also jumped around in history, back and forth from Vikings to Louis XI to William the Conqueror and back to the Vikings, sometimes talking about religious myths and relating them as historical facts. It was hard to follow her narration, and I’m grateful I already knew most of it and could look up the rest on the internet. This was not very well organized. Why do you stop at the same rest stop as the other bus from this tour company going to Normandy at the SAME time so the bathroom line is insane and there’s time only to go to the bathroom or get food, not both. You can coordinate that better so people have time to use the facilities and get a snack. There are plenty of rest stops so each bus could go to a different one. Worst of all, they lost people along the way. I got left behind on the steps up since they speed-walked up 140 steps lickety-split and didn’t wait for people who might climb stairs at normal walking pace or worse, need a break in the middle. I had read in other reviews that the guides were accommodating and made the climb doable. Not on my tour! No one explained that if you get separated from the group, you should go to the middle line at the top so you don’t get stuck in the left or right lines waiting to buy tickets while the whole group goes on ahead and leaves you there. When I finally got past the guards, Mimi just snapped at me that she had come back through the line and didn’t I see her flag? Maybe if you gave everyone stickers or something to identify who is on your tour, you wouldn’t lose people! Also maybe don’t argue with someone who was already upset. Not everyone came back to the bus on time and Mimi had to call out each name, having us raise our hands to figure out who was missing. This is another reason to use stickers or something to identify the members of your tour group. Also, there were 44 people on this tour, even though it’s advertised as maximum 40. All that said, Mont St. Michel is a one-of-a-kind experience that you should do if you have an extra day in Paris. Can’t say I’d recommend City Wonders, but I do recommend visiting the abbey.
