Breathtaking tour of Mont Saint Michel
Lee-Ann F,Jun 22, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Absolutely amazing tour to Mont Saint Michel. Saint Michel is so breathtaking to look at. Tour was well worth it and included a tasty ‘French’ lunch consisting of a drink, a Ham and Cheese baguette, macaroons as a dessert and potato crisps as a snack so we didn’t go hungry. Having a prepared lunch to take with us enable everyone more time to explore Saint Michel. Our tour was made more perfect because of our exceptional guide Maja who was so knowledgeable of the area and its history and who also spoke fluent English which made our communication a breeze. Maja went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed the tour. A shout out also to our bus driver Mohamed who was excellent and very safe driver.

5.00We had an absolutely marvellous day exploring the stunning Mont Saint Michel. We were blessed with spectacular weather. The packed lunch was delicious and typically French. Our guide, Maja, was excellent - knowledgeable, clearly spoken English, helpful and with a delightful sense of humour. Thank you "little blondie" for making our day so enjoyable 😉 Annette & Steve Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺

5.00Maja is the most intelligent, interesting, courteous guide we feel we have had in all of our travels. Packed lunch and cider on the way back were really much appreciated.
Nice experience

4.00Our guide Onome was very friendly, informative, and helpful. She provided some nice history as well as referrals for places to eat and things to see. Our bus driver made us lose about 20 min as he didn't make the correct turn in order to park our bus at the convenience store. This made him have to get back out on the highway and do a loop. At one point, he turned down a one way street and had to back up to get turned around. On top of that, he spent the entire day riding on or over the center line. The packed lunch & snacks were meh. You can survive on them, but they're nothing to write home about. The cider, even though I don't drink, was a nice touch. Mont St Michele is picturesque and the views from the top are incredible. Yes, I would recommend this tour.
Fantastic Mont Saint-Michel Tour with Onome

5.00Onome was an outstanding guide for our Mont Saint-Michel tour. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared fascinating historical insights that made the experience even more meaningful. The trip was seamless and well organized from start to finish, and the sandwiches and cider were a thoughtful touch that we really appreciated. Onome's professionalism and enthusiasm made this one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

5.00Mont Saint-Michel is incredible, you cannot miss it; the landscapes take your breath away and its streets transport you 500 years into the past. The visit to the Abbey is a dream, and if you hear the monks' chants during the 12:30 mass, it is a gift. Our guide Maja is very pleasant and detail-oriented; she took us to the door of the Abbey so that we would not waste time.
Maja did an excellent job!
