Great fun for the family

It was so much fun to learn about quicksand and then experience it. The kids loved it (7 and 10); they were the most prepared in full swimsuits. I loved it.

We ended up not doing...

We ended up not doing this because of communications with the tour operator before the activity. We emailed the tour operator asking for the exact time as it was not in any of the information received. The tour operator responded but, instead of simply telling us the time, asked us what time it stated in the email we received (but we did not receive an email). I then provided the tour operator with a screenshot of what we received (with no time indicated) and the operator responded to "see email previously sent." We preferred to not even do the activity than go back and forth when the operator could have simply told us the time.

Operator response

You received two emails from Viator: the booking confirmation and a second one containing the tour details and departure time. I informed you of the departure time twice by email: “Departure: Mont Saint-Michel 15h30 Meeting point is 15 minutes before departure The meeting point is to the left of the main entrance, at the foot of the ramparts…” I asked you to read the email because it contained all the tour details, not just the departure time. However, you chose not to reply to my emails and not to participate in the tour. I had proof, in my Viator inbox, that I had indeed informed you of the departure time twice. Perhaps you should check your inbox before posting this comment…
