We had an excellent tour...

We had an excellent tour of Mont Saint-Michel with Cecille. She was very knowledgeable and paced the tour to our needs. We would not have understood the history and details of the different rooms and areas in the Abbey without the insights of our guide. She also provided an excellent recommendation for dinner on the island.

Private Guided Tour of WW2 Normandy Drop Zone and Beach

Highly recommended; great value. This is not simply a casual rushed ride through the dunes of the beaches, but instead an experience for those who want to delve seriously into an important component of the complex events of June 6th, 1944. The tour focused on the U. S. airborne landings in the region between the Norman village of Sainte-Mère-Église, and wound up at Utah Beach. Our two guides (we hired two jeeps) were cordial, helpful and – most importantly – knowledgeable. We were a party of six – four adults and two children, and all of us considered this jeep tour a highlight of our visit to France, which included time in Paris as well as Normandy.

Gorgeous monument with an exceptional guide, Anne-Isabelle

Our tour guide, Anne-Isabelle was phenomenal! We enjoyed the history, lore and stories she had about Mont-Saint Michel. The passion and care she has for the site really shined through and added color and texture to an already breathtaking location. She was fun, charismatic, and truly cared about our experience. She was also incredibly patient with us and the quantity of photos we wanted to take. If we could go back and do it all again, we’d choose her again and again. If you’re visiting in peak season and planning to take the shuttle to be at the meeting point for this tour, budget more time than you think you need. We did the 30 minute walk both ways because we heard the lines for the shuttle were 50+ minutes. Thankfully it was a breezy day and the walk was really enjoyable. Completely separate and outside the control of the tour company, we visited at a time when Mont St Michel was incorporating art installations (Summer 2025). Maybe in an effort to attract more tourism. Personally, I wish the art wouldn’t have been there and I wish I could write to Mont St Michel to talk about how it detracted from the experience. The Abbey had a large moon blocking the view of what would’ve been an iconic photo moment, the cloister which should be a tranquil place for contemplation had a disco ball, and the refectory had a walk over water art installation that was closed for safety.
