Great day! Everything went well from pick up to drop off. Mont Saint Michel was great- lots of stairs and steep hills- guide did a nice job giving history on the bus. Please note upon arrival to Mont Sant Michel you will be on your own without a guide. The place is very crowded so not much time to soak it in. Between drop off and pick up at Mont Saint Michel you have about 3 hours. So be sure to visit the church quickly if you want to check out the shops or even grab a bite to eat.

Seamless experience on transportation. Log. Drive but it didn’t feel too bad. Mint saint Michel itself was stunning and you get a chance to free roam which I did and that was great. Everything was top notch.
