To see Mont Saint-Michel was such a highlight. We had a very knowledgeable guide who picked us up at our accommodation at Caen, which was excellent - particularly due to the known strikes in France. The trip to MSM was also wonderful, in the Normandy countryside, so this was a bonus! I think my only disappointment was feeling a bit 'rushed' so we didn't get time to look through the village itself at MSM, in order to make lunch in the tourist village just before you get to the site. There were no language barriers and I am overwhelmed at seeing this, so would definitely recommend other make it a 'bucket list' item. Well worth the trip.

This tour is a must for those visiting the Normandy area. Our guide was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We couldn't have seen or learned as much without her.

WHile this tour is expensive, I would highly recommend it - it is worth every penny! Our guide, Karine, was very knowledgable about Normandy and Brittany, and the entire trip was filled with her providing information about the area, it's history, and sites we were seeing. Her ability to skirt the crowds and show us things we would otherwise have missed was exceptional. Mont Saint-Michel is an amazing place, but having your own personal encyclopedia of knowledge giving you running commentary on the history and context made it extra special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a little more from their visit than a drive by photo opp.
