“The bus trip there and back was smooth and comfortable even though the weather was cold and rainy. We stopped about halfway there for bathroom breaks and refreshments. Our tour guide, Florence, prepared us for each phase of the tour. As expected, the trek to the Abbey involved many steps and there are no lifts available. However, once reaching the top level, it was truly worth the climb. Florence was an amazing guide. I don’t think we could have fully appreciated the whole experience without her interesting and informative commentary. We are so glad we took the journey from Paris to Mont Saint Michel!”

“While the bus is a smooth ride, the one we were on had a lot of broken seats (stuck in a reclined position) which made it difficult to sit in or sit behind. Luckily the bus wasn't full so we were able to find other seats, but there were others who were stuck in broken seats. The rest of the trip was as expected and described. You spend 4 hours driving + 30 minutes at a stop for food and restroom breaks. Be prepared those places are busy with a bunch of other buses, but even the ladies' restroom line moves fast enough. You have about 3 1/2 hours on…”

If you were not fast enough or you wanted to stop to take a picture while walking she left you behind...not even clear explanations of where to meet up..People were constantly left behind to find their way to the next hotel! The bus on the way did not stop for a toilet break for 3 hours. The toilet on the bus was LOCKED so you couldn't use it! They changed the pick up and drop off location. They dropped us off in this dark location on the outside of Paris so they didn't have to drive into the…”

“Booked 2 hour guided tour which ended up no more 80 mins due to travelling time via shuttle to base of Mont and inefficiency of enduring a combined English and French language ( even though we had booked an exclusively English tour!) . The heat and odd tour route taken by the guide made the tour disappointing .”
