“Maja with city wonders was an amazing host and storyteller for our tour! I feel like I learned more from her about WWI and WWII than I did in school.

Review of the Mont Saint Michel day trip from Paris, with coach transport, English guide, abbey entry, audio app, and nearly four hours to explore.
“St. Michel was a wonderful place to visit. 100% would recommend seeing it in person. From Paris it is about a 4.5 hour drive. Bus was very comfortable. Guides were OK, nothing special. Worth the $. Spent 3.5 hours at the site which was plenty of time to see the whole monastery and have a nice lunch, there are several restaurants there.”

Overall, it was a well-organized tour and I would highly recommend it, especially with Ratri as the guide.”
