We were able to see the beautiful Mont Saint-Michel as we had expected in the wonderful weather! It was good to be able to enter early in a row different from the general public. It takes time from the return shuttle to the bus, so I was a little late and caused trouble to other customers. I think it needs a little ingenuity.

About 4.5 hour bus drive each way. Guides gave us the option to stay together or explore solo which was nice. Plenty of time to do the tour of the abbey, eat and check out the other areas of the village. Very interesting and nice details shared on the way.

Overall, we had good time at Mont St-Michel. The weather was excellent! Beautiful view at the top and Mon St Michel was very beautiful even from afar. The bus ride to and from the place is smooth, though a bit long. Our guide, Minie, was knowledgeable and very nice. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because we did not get the audio guide which was part of the package and we badly needed it to properly understand the history of the abbey and its different areas since there was no longer a live tour guide upon entering Mont St-Michel. Also, we didn't get a refund for the audio guide we purchased as promised. I'd love to go back to Mont St Michel again though.
