History buffs will be delighted to visit Mont Saint-Michel on foot for two hours in the company of a guide who is generous in the stories he will tell you: the human, spiritual and cultural adventures of the mythical Mont Saint-Michel through the centuries. General French and international culture will also be on the agenda throughout the visit. The itinerary of your visit will include a walk on the ramparts, in unusual alleys that are little frequented by the majority of visitors to the Mont. You will then discover secret places.
Your guide will also make you laugh with his good sense of humor. You will have a good time of cultural discovery but also relaxation in a friendly and convivial atmosphere.
The visit will be provided with two or more participants whatever the weather!

What To Expect
Mont Saint-Michel
From the Information Centre, you will go to the Mont by free shuttle or on foot, depending on your choice. Your guided and told tour will last two hours through the cobbled streets of the village to the foot of the abbey. You will then know all the secrets of this unique site: the tides, the dam, the bay ecosystem, the entire history of the Mount, from its construction to today, its legends with an experienced guide who will make you love this place and will amuse you with funny and exciting anecdotes. At the end of your tour, the guide will give you the entrance ticket to the abbey, a place that will enhance your experience at the Mount, and avoid queuing at the ticket office.

5.00This was an amazing tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and added so much personality into the storytelling. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like great insight to the Abbey and surrounding town. What a great time!

3.00Since we had already explored the Abbey for FREE on the previous Sunday, we gave away those tickets to another couple. The 2 hour guided tour was actually a disappointment because all we did was go up, and down so many sets of stairways that I lost count. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason, no cohesiveness to all of these stairways. I wanted to see the area of the crypts, which were built first, and which were the foundation that the Abbey was built upon. In order to understand the history of the Abbey, that needed to be explained first. I felt that was not done, and since I needed my walking sticks in order to maneuver all of those steps, which took us to general places that we had already been, I was not impressed. Our group was fairly small, which was good, and the admission fee was not exorbitant, so that was good also. Out of all of that, there were only 3 places of interest to me that explained historical events, so that is why I have given a 3 out of 5.

5.00A very good time with a very interesting guide who knows the Mont Saint Michel as his pocket. This marvel is highlighted by this guide.

3.00I was surprised that this tour still had to go is the queue to take the shuttle from visitor center to the Abbey. That took about 20 minutes in line. That said our tour guide was able to provide a lot of information about the tides and the history while we waited.

5.00I had a great time with this tour. The tour guide Alice was amazing and helped make the tour a little better experience by changing the trip a little to help two people I’m traveling with mobility issues. I would highly recommend this tour. Alice was also VERY knowledgeable about the history of Mont-Saint-Michel.
Not worth the $. This is not a 2-hour tour!

2.00Disappointing tour for several reasons. The first 40+ minutes of the “tour” are spent waiting in line to take the shuttle to MSM. This is not a skip-the-line tour. You are waiting in line with all the other tourists going to MSM that day. Second, we booked an English language tour, but our group included both English and French speakers so we had 50% less time with our guide as she needed to relay each bit of info in two languages. Finally, during our 80-ish minute walk around the island, we got information and anecdotes but the presentation seemed haphazard. During our self-guided tour inside the abbey, we ran into the couple we had met the day before on a WWII sites tour. After comparing our MSM tours, it was clear that they had a vastly better experience with the company they chose.
