Fabulous day with V. A...

5.00Fabulous day with V. A must see if you are ever in Normandy. We travelled from Caen through some beautiful countryside and finally the Mont appeared in the distance. It was truly amazing to see it rise from the sea. A quick bus ride to get closer to the village, then a steep climb to the windswept top and the incredible Abbey. Really worth it if you can make it up the steps. Our tour guide was brilliant and had expert knowledge on the history of Mont st Michel. We had a great day with her. Would highly recommend this tour. A highlight of our trip to France.
Great tour!

5.00Manon was the best! I can't overstate the value of a private tour guide. An exceptionally kind, intelligent and funny one is priceless. Her tour-guide skills are 5 stars! I would request her for any and all tours in Normandy. Regarding Mont Saint-Michel, if you are in France, you simply must see this amazing, history filled monestary.
Great tour, great guide

5.00Gwyn was an excellent tour guide and driver from Caen. He discussed the history Of Normandy on the drive to Mont Saint Michel, and guided us on a 4 hour tour of the Abbey. He is experienced and passionate about bringing history to life!

5.00Our Tour Guide, Manon, was awesome! Easy pick up and drop off! Comfortable van! Manon was very knowledgeable and provided lots of history and insight on the area, the building and foundation of Mont Saint Michel as well as remaining patient with us as we climbed all those stairs. We greatly appreciated that her focus was on ensuring that this experience was memorable and enhanced our love of the Normandy region and France. What an amazing day and incredible experience! We would use Viator again, given the chance!
Mont Saint-Michel a Must See!

5.00We loved our tour of Mont Saint-Michel! Our guide Manon was very friendly and knowledgeable. The Mont itself is incredible but having a guide to lead us on our own time was the way to go. We also made a stop in Bayeux on the way home that was the perfect way to end the trip. Definitely recommend this tour and Manon!
