Arrival in the morning at the opening , a good visit lasts about 2 hours , absolutely everything is to be seen , the cathedral is beautiful .For a good day leave at 11:30 and have a meal in a restaurant outside the tourist site
Cedric, owner of the company, is a true pleasure to work with. He lives in the area and was so knowledgeable about history, food, landmarks, interesting facts and more. He is prompt, reliable, speaks great English and extremely professional. I will be hiring him again for other tours in the future. I highly recommend!
We were happy with the quality of this tour. Prompt pick-up by our (very knolwedgable) Guide Cedric and a lot of useful information delivered during the drive and upon arrival (not limited only to the Mont, but general info on Normandy and WW2 history), all in perfect English. Good COVID safety measures show at all times (social distancing and mask wearing in the minivan).
Dear Andrew, Thank you for your nice review on TripAdvisor. Due to the situation, it is important to precise the safety measures used in my van. All you mentioned are positive remarks, but, is there something bad I did to do not have a 5 stars review or was it a mistake on your review ?! You can contact me by mail if any misunderstanding. Cordially, Cedric LECUYER. Directeur of Normandy Excursions
After a full day tour to Normandy, we got back in Cedric's van the following day for a day trip to Mont Saint Michel. Once we arrived at the location we were on our own but the trip there and back was fun and informative. Whether on the highway or driving through a small town, Cedric shared his knowledge of the area. His English is exceptional and he shares stories that are relatable and interesting. He is a great tour guide and a great representative of his company. It was a wonderful way to spend our last day in the Normandy region of France......
A well organised tour. We were picked up on time at our hotel. The tour guide was so nice that to inform the hotel about his pick up process so we don't need to wait in the cold. Very comfortable vehicles and heaps of time to spend at the site.
My wife and I would give Cedric the highest possible grades in pretrip communication, knowledge, customer service, driving skill and personality. Although our trip was to Saint Michel, during the drive he showed a vast knowledge of D day as well.Need I say more? I note that trip advisor lists another company with an almost identical name. I have nothing against them, but be careful if you want to avoid confusion.
Dear Guest, Your review is great and really touching me. You are right when you say that my shuttle to Mont Saint Michel is not only a drive but also a way to discover the Normandy Countryside. It will be a pleasure to tour you during your next visit and see the Normandy sights and secret places that you didn’t see yet. Cedric LECUYER, Director of Normandy Excursions.
It’s worth the climb to the top of mont San Michelle. Make sure you have an audio to hear it’s history
Dear guest, I am happy that you enjoyed your visit to Mont Saint Michel. Climb to the top of the abbey gives a magnificent view of the sight, and use an audio guide is one of the ways to visit the abbey. Cedric LECUYER, Director of Normandy Excursions.
