One of the most important heritage sites in the world, a middle age jewel that went through ages and arrived almost intact to us

Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel

Some of the village’s restaurants close mid-afternoon, so consider eating on the earlier side. Then, why not make your way up to the top of the hill (to work off your lunch!) and visit the Benedictine Abbey? Founded when the Bishop of Avranches saw a vision of Archangel Michael in a dream, this pilgrimage site from the Middle Ages features a copper statue of Michael slaying a dragon, the monk’s refectory, cloisters and ramparts.

Very little information shared. Still waiting for a refund on a cancellation of one persons ticket price due to cancel according to the policy.

Really great trip: fantastic must-see city but 4 hours each way from Paris. Incredible Good organization

Joseph_L

Best trip ever!! The place was fantastic and the guide Cesare was excellent, shene about an hour delay on the return , but couldn't be helped!!

For starters, Le Mont St-Michel is gorgeous, just not worth visiting with this company. Our bus broke down on the way back to Paris, which caused a nearly five hour wait without bathrooms, food, or water as we watched the guide and drivers do nothing to help the situation, avoiding passengers when they demanded questions. I understand accidents happen, but to watch the tour leaders show absolutely no initiative to help was infuriating…especially as ultimately my 70 yr old mother, my 10 yr old daughter, and I were forced to wander Paris at 2 am to find a taxi as the the tour leaders dispersed immediately after arrival, with no attempt to help passengers with small children find travel back to their hotels, as the metro had closed. As I speak French, I tried myself to help the others find a safe way, but it was inexcusable that the tour leaders left people stranded in the early morning hours…would give 0 stars for service if possible.

We paid close to $260 AUD per person for essentially an 11 hour bus ride and spent about an hour in Mont St Michele. I’d give it 0 stars if that was an option. The tour organiser is charging you for little more than a bus ticket. Here’s a breakdown. We left Paris at 7:35 (20 minutes late despite them telling you to be 30 min early for the pick up). Stopped at a service station mid morning (left 20 minutes late again), arrived at Mont St Michele at 1:30pm (meant to arrive at 12:15). We were then told that we’d need to be back on the bus by 4:30 pm but given the crowds, we need to exit the site to catch the shuttle by 3:30. Waiting for the shuttle and the journey meant we got into Mont St Michele at 2:30. Followed by a half hour wait to get into the abbey itself. We nearly had to run through the site to see it and then saw nothing of the small village around it and had no time for even a drink let alone lunch. Managed to get out of Mont St Michele by 3:30 as instructed and to rush back to the meeting point by 4:15 only for our tour guide and bus driver to turn up to the meeting point 20 minutes late! We arrived back in Paris at 10pm. It was a 11 hour bus journey for 1 hour at the site! They promise you 4 hours there but that’s completely laughable. We went in early May, not even peak season yet. They know it’s going to be busy and that you still need additional time to catch a shuttle and back but sell you a false idea of a 4 hour visit time anyway. As for our tour guide, I’ve never had a worse one. He spoke about 4 sentences the entire 12 hour day, once as a hello, twice to announce our arrival at the service stations, once in goodbye (during which he asked for tips). He didn’t even bother to tell us where the pick point was in the afternoon to meet the bus. We had to ask repeatedly and all his multilingual talents could say was “over there” while he gestured with his half eaten ham sandwich. And the audioguide, it’s just a scanned QR code and a laminated map that made no sense. Good luck to you with that one. Look, there is a lot out of their control like traffic and tourist crowds but read the other reviews on here, we’re not the first to have this experience. Think twice before you spend your money and a whole travel day on this glorified bus ticket. Will it get you to the site and back, yep. Will you get to enjoy it? Doubtful.

What a wonderful and unique place to visit. My St Michele isn’t widely advertised but it is a gem and worth while to make a visit outside of Paris to walk the Abby and experience the ocean surrounding the building.

Samir_B

Everything was great - the guide and the driver were very good. There was a tire problem on the way back but the driver was very responsible and got the tire replaced in a garage - we were late coming back but we were kept informed by the driver and the guide.

Jill_P

The abbey is incredible and truly remarkable. Glad we took the opportunity to add to our visit to Paris. The bus ride was very long.

Joya_C

Don't book this. We booked this trip twice and never got to go. The first time they had a mixed-up with the meet-up location with the tour agent and the second time the tour agent said we didn't have a booking, asked us to pay them in cash again! We didn't for obvious reasons and got reimbursed both time, fortunately but this is a super sketchy experience. We weren't the only one stranded as well....15 to 20 people the first trip, 3-5 the second were told the same thing....Total reap off!

Thomas_C

It was a long 4 hours trip each way. Organized well and everything was on time. We were little bit nervous about making a long bus ride trip, but enjoying a beautiful country site makes this trip like breeze.
