We had an amazing time on our trip seeing Mont St. Michele. Long trip from Paris but worth seeing. Our tour guide was excellent. He gave us lots of background history then we had iPads with earphones to hear everything as we went through the castle. The site is very popular so be prepared for lots of tourists. And wait times at the restaurants for lunch. Also it was very windy with the potential to have rained but thankfully did not. Just be prepared! On the way back the cider tasting was fun! We would recommend this trip if you don’t have time to overnight closer.

In late April/early May, my husband and I traveled to France and booked 4 tours directly through Blue Fox Travel. This review is about our day to Mont St. Michel with Nicholas. The meeting point is easy to navigate to. From our hotel, we could walk or catch an UBER. The cafe is open to use the restroom or buy a pastry/coffee. This was our longest day outside of Paris as it does take about 3 hours to drive there and return. There are stops for the bathroom and to buy a snack/drink. Once you arrive, Nicholas guided us to the abbey and there is a complimentary shuttle that you can take as it is a long walk. He even provided a baggie if you wanted to take some sand home with you! He stayed with us telling us interesting facts and history as we worked our way up to the top. Do know there are lots of steps and the paths can be narrow and made of cobblestones. Once you reach the top, you are then given time on your own to make your way back down to shop, eat etc. Once we met up again, we stopped at a local stand and enjoyed their local apple cider & then Nicholas made an extra spot where you could photograph all the sheep grazing with the abbey in the background! Blue Fox tours only runs this tour on Thursdays. There were still lots of people there so give yourself ample time to eat etc. There are lots of places to eat with a wide variety of food, sodas etc. We had delicious hot paninis and then enjoyed some gelato! Our drive back included a break stop as well. The van is comfortable with clean windows! Once again, it is a small group tour so make sure you are on time so you can enjoy the full day!

We had an amazing day tour to Mont-Saint-Michel with Augustus as our guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the history and culture of the region. Throughout the trip he shared so many interesting stories and little details that made the experience even more special. The tour was very well organized, relaxed, and enjoyable from start to finish. Augustus made everyone feel welcome and took great care of the group. Visiting Mont Saint Michel was already unforgettable, but having such a wonderful guide made it truly exceptional. Highly recommend this tour and especially Augustus if you want a memorable and enjoyable experience in France!

Nicholas our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, kind and great with our group. Only 6 people which makes this tour more personal. We had a magical day with him and our group. He gave us insider tips on what was must see and what to avoid. Strongly recommend. The cider tasting on the way home was super cool too. Nice relaxing final moment.
