Itinerary
UNESCO-listed Mont Saint-Michel is known for its striking perch on a tiny rocky island off the coast of Normandy. At the top of the island is a medieval abbey, where you can admire the view of the bay. Stroll through the narrow, steep streets of the village and perhaps sample local specialties at the bakery (own expense).
In the afternoon, continue your day towards the town of Honfleur, where you can explore the cobbled streets and enjoy the port setting, a source of inspiration for painters like Claude Monet. Discover sites like the Old Port, Place Sainte-Catherine and the bell tower.

We, 4 of us, were picked up at our hotel in Paris, driven to Mont St Michel, then to Honfleur, and then back to our hotel. It was a wonderful experience. Anas picked us up at 5:30 AM. The sedan was roomy and comfortable. I sat in the middle in the back (3 in back, one up front with Anas). The center section wasn't a hump like it is in many cars, so it was fine. We slept part the 4 hour drive to Mont St Michel. Anas was a careful and skilled driver. Once there he got us situated and we toured the Abbey without him. The audio guide was perfect and allowed us each go at our own pace, lingering in some areas and moving along in others. There was no one rushing us or directing us so it was very comfortable. When we exited, Anas was right there waiting and took us back to the car. From there we went to Honfleur. It's a lovely port city but was busy with lots of tourists. Anas got us situated at a restaurant of our choice and we were free to meander about at will. We stayed there about 2 hours before driving back to our hotel. The Abbey is an incredible structure with amazing views and a fascinating history. It was definitely a worthwhile and unforgettable experience. Doing this tour with a private driver made it all the more comfortable and convenient. Anas, thank you for driving and taking care of us.
Thank you for your valuable comment. I'm glad you have enjoyed this experience
Anas was a great guide. Good communication days leading up to the visit ensured everything went smooth. Anas made an extra stop at Omaha beach for us. Quite a detour. But he was very accommodating. Went the extra mile.
Thank you for your valuable comment. I'm glad you have enjoyed this experience
We chose a private tour for 4 with Anas and we absolutely loved it. Mont St-Michel was gorgeous. Stopped at Honfleur on our return. Pretty place. It's a long day but definitely worth it. No rush with Anas. Fantastic day.
I am glad you have enjoyed this day. It was a great pleasure!
Anas was very polite and professional. The transportation was clean, efficient and timely. The issue was size. The vehicle was too small for 5 adults to fit comfortably and safely for traveling 8 hours. The hump in the middle back was not, in our opinion, appropriate seating for the length of the journey. It would have been appropriate for 4 adults, but for 5 adults, a larger vehicle was required. It was much too small, very cramped, and a long journey.
Thank you for your opinion. I take note of your comment concerning the size of the vehicle despite the fact that it is a fairly spacious sedan and that you were all able to sleep for a good part of the journey but perhaps you would have preferred a van..
Anas took great care of us! He got us to where we needed to be safely and allowed us to take our time exploring both Mont St. Michel and Honfleur while he patiently waited. He pointed out things and found us a great place to eat. This was a great tour that I highly recommend.
I am glad you have enjoyed this day. It was a great pleasure!
