4.00As our 10th excursion off the ship in 12 days, we were excited to learn more about the Normandy region as we had on our other trips and had 6 hrs in coach to do so. But no. After a brief 15 min introduction to the area and the Abbey, our guide let us sleep the rest of the time. What about the economy, the history of WW II, lifestyles, demographics, education, business, political structure? There’s so much more to learn in this historical area of the world! And don’t believe the pitch about a break halfway there and on the return, it doesn’t happen, so Plan accordingly w snacks and drinks. That of course gave us more time at the Abbey but made for a rough day. Mont St. Michel was great and a definite bucket list item.
Beautiful site, excellent guide!

5.00We were a little nervous they would not get us back to our cruise ship on time. They reassured us then they delivered. We were back within a few minutes of their estimate! The trip both ways was fast and comfortable and our guide, Ash, was fantastic. Highly recommend this tour and Viator was very professional.
