This tour was wonderful. Our whole family (we traveled with two kids and in-laws) enjoyed it very much. The journey from Paris was comfortable, and the island was mesmerizing. Stunning sight! I took lots of photos and tried a famous omelette in a local restaurant there. Lovely day tour, very much recommended!
We had a perfect guide, thank you Michelle. A great time during our trip to Mont-Saint-Michel. You will need good walking shoes, but totally worth it! We were lucky to watch the high tide from the top - unforgettable sights! This trip is good value for money!
