Delightful back alleys of Mont Saint Michel - We took this in the afternoon slot as a family of four English speakers paired with a group of six French speakers, 10 total in group. Our guide did a great job splitting the narration time, and that gave us valuable opportunities to amble and take photos when she spoke to the others. I speak enough French to tell we were getting the same content in each language. I felt like our tour group got to more small alleys and back streets than most of the others. Given that this was a two hour tour, when many others are just one, there was time for it. And our guide did use the full two hours to get us to the entrance of the Abbey, which is self guided. We spent about another hour in the Abbey and then wandered down slowly along the ramparts. Expect to easily kill 3.5 hours, even more if you want to browse shops. The sunset made a dramatic finish, which perhaps gives advantage to the afternoon time slot. Our guide presented lots of history and local lore. Mont Michel itself is a must see, and I’d certainly take this tour over any of the shorter and less detailed ones. There were plenty of restaurants and hotels on the island—more than I had anticipated. Though we didn’t have the time, adding a sit-down meal and hotel stay would conclude an ideal visit.

Wonderful experience! ... - Wonderful experience! Our guide was amazing and very informative. He was funny and made the trip very enjoyable, while delivering all the historical context of this amazing place. It was also really wonderful to go in early November during the down season because there was not many people and it was very uncrowded. Loved this tour!

Good tour but insist on what you bought. - The tour guide was very good and knowledgeable. Taking a tour really enhances the visit since the town, while quaint, is mainly restaurants and souvenir shops. I rated this down because I purchased an English tour and we got a bilingual one, which slowed it down dramatically. I would not have done it if I knew we’d have to sit through French descriptions too. The vendor refused a partial refund.
