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..
Absolutely magnificent

5.00Our guide was very friendly and shared so many interesting facts about the Mont. We were honestly a bit stressed about whether we’d get back to the ship on time, it is quite far, and the timing felt tight at moments. But despite our worries, everything was perfectly organized and we made it back with time to spare.
It was an amazing experience

5.00Maja was our guide and she was friendly and had the tact of being a guide. 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 was smooth all the way. I got back to the ship on time.
Wonderful place

4.00Although the journey from Le Havre was tedious, the view of the islet over the fields, unforgettable, as well as walking on the sands and through the streets of the village. The guide went ahead and we missed his explanations, until the end when he reappeared and was gentle and cooperative.
