“Elisa very knowledgeable with the bonus of being a local and answered questions in depth but without being overwhelming”
Review of Mont Saint Michel’s 2-hour walking tour, with guide quality, abbey access, meeting tips, stairs, price, and bilingual tour concerns.
“The tour guide was not in the designated location and made no attempt to contact us either by the phone number or email that I had in my contact details. They charged my card and when I disputed it with Viator, they made a very unsatisfactory investigation into the tour operators no show. We have pictures w/ time/date/location stamps showing we were in the correct place. The tour operator does not. I would not recommend this tour - its seems sort of scammy. I was also quite disappointed with Viator's help in resolving the situation.”

Review of Mont-Saint-Michel’s private two-hour walking tour, with Abbey entry, local guides, photo stops, pricing, access tips, and honest drawbacks.
“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…”
