Tour of Mont St. Michele w/a cider tasting!

5.00We had an amazing time on our trip seeing Mont St. Michele. Long trip from Paris but worth seeing. Our tour guide was excellent. He gave us lots of background history then we had iPads with earphones to hear everything as we went through the castle. The site is very popular so be prepared for lots of tourists. And wait times at the restaurants for lunch. Also it was very windy with the potential to have rained but thankfully did not. Just be prepared! On the way back the cider tasting was fun! We would recommend this trip if you don’t have time to overnight closer.
Mont St. Michel with Blue Fox Tours

5.00In late April/early May, my husband and I traveled to France and booked 4 tours directly through Blue Fox Travel. This review is about our day to Mont St. Michel with Nicholas. The meeting point is easy to navigate to. From our hotel, we could walk or catch an UBER. The cafe is open to use the restroom or buy a pastry/coffee. This was our longest day outside of Paris as it does take about 3 hours to drive there and return. There are stops for the bathroom and to buy a snack/drink. Once you arrive, Nicholas guided us to the abbey and there is a complimentary shuttle that you can take as it is a long walk. He even provided a baggie if you wanted to take some sand home with you! He stayed with us telling us interesting facts and history as we worked our way up to the top. Do know there are lots of steps and the paths can be narrow and made of cobblestones. Once you reach the top, you are then given time on your own to make your way back down to shop, eat etc. Once we met up again, we stopped at a local stand and enjoyed their local apple cider & then Nicholas made an extra spot where you could photograph all the sheep grazing with the abbey in the background! Blue Fox tours only runs this tour on Thursdays. There were still lots of people there so give yourself ample time to eat etc. There are lots of places to eat with a wide variety of food, sodas etc. We had delicious hot paninis and then enjoyed some gelato! Our drive back included a break stop as well. The van is comfortable with clean windows! Once again, it is a small group tour so make sure you are on time so you can enjoy the full day!

5.00We had an amazing day tour to Mont-Saint-Michel with Augustus as our guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history and culture of the region. Throughout the trip he shared so many interesting stories and little details that made the experience even more special. The tour was very well organized, relaxed, and enjoyable from start to finish. Augustus made everyone feel welcome and took great care of the group. Visiting Mont Saint Michel was already unforgettable, but having such a wonderful guide made it truly exceptional. Highly recommend this tour and especially Augustus if you want a memorable and enjoyable experience in France!
Do this tour- ask for Nicolas!!

5.00Nicholas our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, kind and great with our group. Only 6 people which makes this tour more personal. We had a magical day with him and our group. He gave us insider tips on what was must see and what to avoid. Strongly recommend. The cider tasting on the way home was super cool too. Nice relaxing final moment.
A spectacular trip to Mont Saint-Michel!

5.00My trip to Mont Saint-Michel was fantastic. Mathieu was an excellent. He drove safely, had excellent knowledge of history, and was a pleasure to talk to along the way. There were a couple spots we went to that were slightly off the beaten track and that was a nice bonus. The van was nice and we had plenty of time to pull over and rest on the way up and back. The abbey was a pleasure to tour. Mathieu also had some good suggestions for food in the surrounding town. Thank you for the wonderful time!
Will is the best you can get

5.00The limited number of participants for the tour was just enough to make this excursion memorable. Our driver and tour guide named Will, was very professional and tended to our needs. He made sure to respect our time on this trip by giving us just enough breaks to and from the destination. The added wine tasting part of the tour was nice as we enjoyed seeing the local culture and tasting it. The restaurant that we met at was well thought-out as the staff invited us in the morning for hot drinks and breakfast prior to our leaving for the destination. All in all, Will had all our needs were tended to, and respected time as he got us back to the meeting place as promised.
A long day but definitely worth it!

5.00What an amazing tour!!! Mathieu was the perfect guide! He was engaging, funny, knowledgeable, and really just a cool guy that our family really enjoyed just hanging out with. On top of that, he was a great driver! We met at the cafe at 7am. The cafe and the tour company are partners, so we were offered a super quick breakfast which shocked me at how fast they could serve us! Reasonably priced as well. Then the fairly long 3-3.5 hour drive, with a rest stop break midway. Mathieu was entertaining and so informative, that the drive seemed MUCH shorter. As an aside, I must say, French rest stops are ridiculously nice places to visit! Great food! When we got to Mont Saint Michel Mathieu gave us a nice presentation, then walked us up to the Abbey. He then dropped us off at the Abbey and basically gave us roughly 2 hours of free time to enjoy the abbey and town on our own, which we greatly appreciated. Touring the Abbey is easy. It’s a one way walk, with signs leading you through. We then had time to walk the town, walk the ramparts, and eat a quick lunch. We then met back at the parking lot. Mathieu the took us for a nice cider tasting, and took us to a great place to take family pics of the Mont Saint Michel in the background with sheep milling about. Great tour, even better guide. Thanks Mathieu!!!!!

5.00HP (Hans Peter) was a great driver and tour guide for the event. While the drive was long, it was well worth it. Mont Saint-Michel was amazing and definitely a unique and bucket list place to see.
What a great wonder…

5.00Although it’s in November, weather was on our side and it didn’t rain on the day. After foggy weather, Mont St Michel revealed in the sun when we reached. Such a nice holy place. Our guide Augustin was friendly and informative guy. As he was from Normandy, he has extensive knowledge of the region and hey he’s a good story teller too. Cider tasting was a short one but the apple juice was really organic and nice. Such a memorable day it was.
