What a hidden gem Mount St Michel was. The tour we had included Omaha beach and this monastery that most people may not know about. Our tour guide Oksana walked with us all over the monastery as we moved all the way up to the top, while giving us fantastic insight and history of it. Loved it.
Thank you for your review. We are very happy that you liked everything!
It is a long day but totally worth it! Our Guide Mickey & Driver Osla were absolutely knowledgeable, fun & they took care of everything we needed & wanted. We started at Normandy. Mickey taught us everything & more. The history & explained in detail & very easy to understand going through this humbling experience. We the had lunch at a wonderful place looking over Omaha beach. Our next stop was Mont St Michelle. What an amazing place, more beautiful than we could ever imagine. Walking up to the Abbey, Mickey was very patient and told us stories about the different rooms & what the were used for. The architecture and what were ways the protected themselves. So much information, we asked question all the back. We HIGHLY recommend the two, who worked as team to make our tours enjoyable & fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5 stars. Will definitely use the again this trip and next!
Thank you so much for your review!!
So i chose this tour cause we were short on time and didn’t have the 2 days to stay out in Normandy. It’s a long day but i feel like it was a good choice to see a little of the D Day beaches, a short museum visit and a lovely lunch before heading to Mont saint Michel, The countryside is so beautiful here, well worth seeing. Ilia was our guide and you can tell he enjoys this job, very personable and well informed. Alex was our driver and got us around very safely. Overall a great experience!

Great tour, wonderful day. We visited amazing places and our tour guide David was very knowledgeable and informative. It was also convenient to have our own driver and not have to worry about crowds or large tour groups. Highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for your review!!
David was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and happy to match our pace on all the stairs in Mont Saint-Michel. He graciously followed up afterwards as well, inviting us to reach out if we have more questions during the rest of our trip. We enjoyed to drive in a comfortable car, and the sites were amazing. Would enjoy similar tours like this again!

This tour is a really great and reasonably priced day trip from Paris. It’s perfect for tourists who want to see multiple locations outside of the city but don’t want to be stuck on an overcrowded bus. My driver Ivan was very kind and accommodating. They saw to whatever I needed. They were on-time, professional, and communication was easy. 5/5 stars.
Thank you so much for your review!!
Both MontSaint-Michelle and Omaha Beach left a lasting impression. I recommend comparing it with MontSaint-Michelle in Cornwall in UK. I highly recommend this trip
Thank you so much for your review!!
I can’t say enough good things about mine and my wife’s trip to Normandy and Saint Michel. First, Ivan our driver was great. He was on time and ready to go. During our drive, Ivan kept asking if we were doing OK or if we needed any water. He was a delight to chat with. We arrived at Normandy, and were met by our guide Valentine. Valentine was very knowledgeable about both Normandy and Saint Michel. If you get the opportunity, you must see both those locations. They will change your life. I would definitely recommend this company.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the trip - Ivan and Valentine will be thrilled to hear your kind words. Normandy and Mont Saint-Michel really are unforgettable!
