5.00Maja was our guide and she was truly fantastic. She shared lots of interesting info already on the way, and once we got to Mont Saint Michel she showed us the cutest little shops and where to eat. I got a bit lost in the narrow streets but thanks to Maja everything felt easy and relaxed. We got back to the ship on time. Highly reccomend!
Glad that we opted for this tour

Great tour overall

5.00Easy communication with the tour operator team. The guide knew a lot and was helpful from start to finish. The stops along the way were well planned, and having a restroom on the bus was a big plus. The tour itself covered the same material as the ship’s own excursion. One important thing is that you must disembark the ship fast, or you risk missing the tour at the port. They took seriously that we must get back to the ship on time.
Truly a must-see attraction

5.00Onome was an amazing guide. She shared lots of humor, great stories, and the bus ride didn’t feel long at all. When we reached the site, she showed us around the lower streets and recommended a restaurant where we ended up having the best onion soup ever. For sure we will recommend this tour operator to our friends..
