5.00Abbey was closed so we also saw parts of Brittany- coastline of the bay and the towns of Concale- St. Malo and Dinant are beautiful and worthy of a separate tour from Bayeau- great guide.

5.00Our guide, Oranne, was fantastic! Would highly recommend using a guide to see Mont-Saint Michel as they are able to share pictures to give better understanding of the history and depth of this magnificent place. Oranne met us at the hotel and was immediately quite personable and accommodating. She offered in many occasions to take pictures for us, gave food suggestions and on the way back to Bayeux, offered to stop at a place to get a sample of Calvados (we can now say we tried it!) and showed us the Jerusalem Cemetery, what is believed to be the smallest WWII cemetery. Would absolutely do another tour with Oranne.

5.00Our tour guide (V) was spectacular. She was knowledgeable and personable and paced the tour perfectly. We never felt rushed but it also never lagged or got boring. We enjoyed Mont Saint Michel and I felt like the abbey and village are among the most magical sites in the world. Absolutely recommend. One thing to note...there are a LOT of stairs, like a crazy number of stairs. Still recommend the tour company and the site as a 10/10 must do if you are in France.

5.00Great tour and an amazingly beautiful Unesco World Heritage site! Our guide Violaine was the perfect host and provided excellent explanations of everything we saw. The only drawback was the amount of tourists and navigating the crowds does get to be a bit tiresome. With that said, still a wonderful place to visit.
I would recommend this guide to people of all ages. So very happy and delightful sharing of the story!!!

5.00Our guide Vi was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish! We were lucky enough to have her for two days of traveling to the Normandy beaches and cemeteries and the Mount Saint Michel. Pictures do not do either place justice; the Normandy D Day trip was very emotional and long but an experience I will not forget. Mount St Michel was a magnificent site to see and hear the history of it. Highly recommend both tours and request Vi, you will regret it!
Excellent experience with an excellent guide!

5.00We had a wonderful full day private tour of Mount Saint Michelle with Rose, a fabulous tour guide! We actually spent three full days with Rose, and they will be the subject of my TripAdvisor review under Moray Johnny, which has not yet been written. Rose is a highly knowledgeable guide, a pleasant and personable person, and a great asset to Normandy Sightseeing Tours. she greatly enhanced the quality of our experience, we are very grateful for that. She was very flexible, willing to work with us and went out of her way to make our experience the best it could be. Mall Saint Michelle is the third most visited site in France, and it is well worth the visit. It is not handicapped accessible, however, and if you have physical disabilities, you might think twice about this trip. We highly recommend Normandy sightseeing tours, and we highly recommend Rose!
Wonderful experience

5.00Manon did a wonderful job - she picked us up in a Mercedes sedan at our hotel in Bayeaux on time, drove us to a convenient parking place very close to the site, guided us up the mountain, & told us a lot of interesting historical facts. She also found us a great restaurant for lunch. We had a great time

5.00Gwen was an excellent tour guide with an encyclopedic knowledge of Mont St. Michel and Normandy. He was very friendly, spoke perfect English, and even allowed a short detour to Omaha Beach which was great to see.
