Awesome trip! Blessed to be able to attend mass at the abbey. If you are a solo traveler or a couple, it’s worth to take this trip with the tour company. If you are a family (with small children), maybe drive on your own and stay the night. Definitely a must see!

It’s a long trip but well worth it! The guides were extremely helpful and provided useful tips and also a nice recap of the history of France and the Normandy region. From the parking lot, they will give you the option of taking a shuttle or walking the last few hundred meters or so. Definitely do the walk once, better on the way back if you can plan your time, allowing a good 45 mins for the stroll. Definitely have some light snacks/lunch/drinks in one of the restaurants. We tried the calvados and the apple tart, both were amazing!

We were tourists from Japan. The tour guide Raymond was really kind and his explanation about French history and Mont saint Michel were highly helpful and clear. After we arrived, we explored the place freely by ourselves. It was the right decision to walk to the island feeling local atmosphere and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We strongly recommend you to walk to the island. It took us 40 min to get to the castle.
