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.

I booked a tour with City Wonders through GetYourGuide in May 2024. I was at the venue 15 minutes prior to the departure time at 7am. I had a seamlessly easy check-in process as I was told to wait in front of church which I did. After which, I was redirected to get into the bus without knowing there are two different tours are running on the same time as there’s no clear sign or clear instruction to differentiate the two tours. I was then settled in to another bus from the other tour. The tour guide was doing the final check of attendance on the bus to make sure everyone were there however I’m surprised my name is not being called up. I was being cautious and went up to ask then I was being the told the bus tour to Mont Saint Michele has left the venue for 10 mins and he is not contactable or it will be possible for me to join back the tour. I am then asked to leave the bus and the tour representatives said they can’t do anything much about my case as the bus driver is not contactable. No further assistance that has been given other than a sorry as both of them can’t do much about my case for which they asked me to call the office for rescheduling. I was then spent for more than an hour trying to communicate with GetYourGuide and City Wonders to ask for rescheduling however was told is my issue for not following instruction as no other people is missing out from the tour except me. Further to that, I was asked to pay for rebooking fee of €25 which I proceed with that as it left me with no the option though I would like to think it is very unreasonable to do so as I don’t wish to spoil my holiday in Paris. The overall incident indicates a serious lack of care, attention and professionalism to the customers who bought the tour. Further to that, the final check of attendance process is missing. Should this had been done and make clear from the start, I wouldn’t actually have to pen down my feedback here. The only positive note from this incident is the customer service care officer, namely Enrica has been very patient and professional with her dealing with this sticky issue.

Viator sent us to the wrong pick up address and kept the money Viator has put profits ahead of customer service

This was an absolutely beautiful and unique experience! It is a long bus ride but it passes quickly with naps, reading, looking at the scenery, etc. If you’re interested in history, architecture, and cute little villages, this is a must see

Ify and Ash were great!! Mont St Michel did not disappoint whatsoever!! The abbey was beautiful and the history of the island is awesome. Recommend walking back and bussing out to the island to get a bunch of views!!

William_D

Coach ride in each direction is LONG! Visit to village has INCREDIBLE number of stair steps, which if you have poor knees or trouble with stairs become prohibitive. But merely seeing the village and abby perched on this rock outcropping island is worth the journet. Our guide, Saeed, was terrific, proving insights and helping pass the time in the long rides. Would definitely recommend once. But be aware of limitations.

Andrea R

Beautiful weather for early May. It gets crowded, so choose bathroom, sites, and food on the way out. Wear a hat. Don't feed the Seagulls. They will come for you.

Elizabeth_B

The stairs! So. Many. Stairs! But, oh so beautiful! I’d love to come back and spend the night. . . .

Visiting the Chapel at Mont Saint Michel. Walking the town of Mont Saint Michel. I am not sure the 4 1/2 hour bus right was worth the three hour visit to the site. A total of 9 hours on the bus with two “ gabby” tour guides that were more interested in talking about themselves and their experience. Very little meaningful cultural or historical content
