Mont St. Michel, or “The Wonder of the West”, is one of France’s top attractions and the most popular destination in Normandy.

Wander through the village and its steep streets, visit the abbey with its medieval architecture, hunt out picture-postcard views across the Atlantic, and watch as the tide rises around the island.

It is a big bus commute of around 4 hours - one way - for about three hours of exploration time. Good for a taste of a really special place, though it can be crowded and the shuttle buses can take a cut of your time.

We loved Mont Saint Michael and the bus was easy and on time, but if you have any issues with claustrophobia, don’t use this tour. The seats are practically on top of each other, and if the person in front of you reclines, their head is in your lap.

Mont. Saint Michel is breathtaking!! Well worth the day spent driving there and back. Our tour guide was top notch and very knowledgeable of the history of this place. She was fun to spend the day with. The bus driver was very safe and professional. He kept us on time even though we ran into some tricky traffic issues on the way back. I would highly recommend this tour.

Everything was great, I just wish they would open the bathroom on the bus. It's working, they just choose not to open it.

I never seen like that before in an island. Mont Saint Michelle is something you need put it in your bucket list. If you vist Paris France, you need to include 1 day going there using Viator leaving 7:15 am back by 9:00 PM.

The tour was very well organised. Our tour leader and bus driver were fantastic. We were very lucky with the weather. Got to see everything we hoped to see. Value for money.

We had a great time visiting Mont St. Michel. Our tour guide for the bus was Nina, and she nice and outgoing. The drive to and from the landmark was 6 hours total (broken up by 1 stop each direction), with 4 hours allotted time at the location. At the Mont St. Michel, you are given some direction from the tour guide, but for the majority are on your own. You do not stay with your group, but navigating is simple, and the locals and workers are very helpful. We were blessed that the tour day fell on a heritage day, and our tour was free, although pricing for the tours on any other day seemed very reasonable. We did pay an “extra” small amount to visit certain parts of the Castle not included in the normal daily tours, and it was worth it as well. Although weather was off and on rainy and windy, it seemed to only add to the great experience!
