“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…”

“Myriam was an excellent guide. She was so knowledgeable and was able to give some colour to the history of Mont St. Michel. It is important to let guests know that, even though the shuttle buses run frequently, the lines are long and you don’t necessarily get on the first bus. You have to adjust your timing accordingly. It is also important to note how many stairs one must climb to reach the Abbey. The tour is not for those with mobility or lung/heart issues.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
