Cherbourg sits at the tip of the Cotentin Peninsula — and Mont-Saint-Michel sits at its base. The drive down the coast takes under two hours, passing through some of the quietest and most beautiful countryside in Normandy. This private tour makes that journey easy. Your driver meets you at the cruise terminal, takes you directly to Mont-Saint-Michel, and returns you to the ship before departure — guaranteed. What awaits at the other end is one of the genuine wonders of France. A tidal island fortress, crowned by a Gothic abbey that has stood since the 8th century, surrounded by a bay where the tide arrives faster than almost anywhere else in the world. It is the kind of place that exceeds expectations even when you think you know what to expect. Five hours on the island. Time enough to climb to the abbey, walk the ramparts, explore the medieval village, and simply stand and take in the view across the bay.
