Great one day trip while in Paris. - While visiting Paris we decide to take a day from the city and travel down to Normandy and, while there visit Mont Saint-Michel. Are we happy we did! Although a very long day our trip was one that many if us will remember forever. Our guide, David was exceptional and I would highly recommend him. Although relatively young, he is filled with the knowledge of Paris, surrounding areas, Normandy and Mont Saint-Michel and will verbalize stories and facts & figures that will astound you. The driver and Mercedes van were exceptional as well.

A great way to see two iconic places - but a lot of stairs! - Overall, it was worth it to see the Normandy D-Day Museum, cemetery, and beaches, as well, as Mont Saint-Michel; however, it was an exhausting day. Initially, Viator said my hotel was out of the pick-up area, but when I contacted them, they said not to worry, they would pick us up at our hotel. Roman was our driver. His English seemed more limited than other guides we have had, but it was better than my extremely limited French. He knew enough for us to understand him. He was sweet and patient, always letting us know what time to meet him and where. He was very good communicating through text messages while we were returning to meet back up with him. He was good at keeping us informed of the itinerary and made good time finding a rest stop along the freeway on the way back to Paris. He also found us a nice place for lunch near Omaha beach, as Mont St. Michel would be very crowded. This next part has nothing to do with Viator or Roman, our guide, but speaks to the level of activity of this trip. This is a fast past trip. You see everything you are meant to see, but except for a restroom break, there is no time to explore on your own. The walk down from Mont Saint-Michel had some free time to use the bathroom (at the exit/entrance) and grab some ice cream, but not much else. Normandy D-Day locations are mostly flat, but the tour for Mont Saint-Michel starts at the top. It is a gradual incline that gets steeper until it turns to stairs … 350 steps to the top. If we could leisurely make our way to the top, it wouldn’t have been a problem. The problem was the tour was starting soon so it felt like we had to sprint up the incline and stairs all the way to the top within 10 minutes. It could have been longer than 10 minutes, regardless of the time, it was too fast for me. Unfortunately, our guide for Mont Saint-Michel was soft soften and added to the noise from other tourists and the echo in the chambers, I couldn’t hear a word he said … which was okay, as I was still guzzling water and trying not to die from my sprint to the top. If you have a packed week of sightseeing in Paris like we did, you might want to give yourself a day of rest after this trip. Overall, our tour guide and the trip were great! It is a great way to see two iconic places hours away from Paris. Just be aware it is a very long day and there are a lot of steps involved.

Amazing day trip - If time is short and want to Jam Pack the day, this is a great one. We had a Benz van to ourselves and our driver/guide was amazing. Long distance obviously to travel making it a long day but so worth it.

Best way to fit both places in one day - 5 stars but keep in mind this is a driver only not a tour guide. Excellent trip and Igor as our driver was fantastic. Very efficient.

Unforgettable, dreamlike excursion - It was just all great, all day! The driver (Alex) and the guide (David) picked us up on time. First we were at Le Mont-Saint-Michel, just wow! Afterwards we went to Omaha Beach and the cemetery, very impressive! Both driver and guide did a great job and gave us an unforgettable day, thank you very much for that!

Long but fantastic day exploring Normandy D-Day sites and Mont St Michel - Highly recommend this excursion if you want to squeeze these two amazing sites into a single day. While it was a very long day, it was absolutely worth it, especially if you do not have the time to do each site on separate days. However, due to the compacted schedule you will not have very much time at each of the D-Day sites. If those sites are really important to you then I would recommend doing a D-Day only tour. Another thing to keep in mind is the driver is just a driver and not a tour guide. Our driver was Ivan and he was fantastic. Took great care of us, got us to and from all the sites safely and connected us with all the site tour guides effectively. It's important to understand that other tours will have a driver and a licensed guide or a driver that is also a licensed guide that spend the entire drive time talking about the surrounding areas and destination. This excursion is not that. We got a fantastic driver who connected us up with the sites and the guides there (including a private guide at Mont St Michel). Highly recommended if you understand the structure of the excursion.

Fantastic Day in Normandy and Mont St Michel - We had an amazing day in Normandy and Mont St Michel. Our driver, Alex, was timely and great. our was very comfortable and clean. Our tour guide, Ilya, was knowledgeable, fun and worked within our schedule. He had so much great historical information and made sure to cover the parts of the DDay tour that were important for us. I highly recommend Clewel and our tour team. It was an amazing experience!
