Very smooth. Our driver was punctual, very nice Mercedes van equipped with water, tissues, and umbrella. Our trip was to Mt St Michele from Paris. We stopped for a quick break at a full service station. The driver walked us to the ticket and information center where a separate free shuttle bus goes to the village and Abby. He met us where he dropped us off. We did a quick stop again at a nice service area on way back to get sandwiches. Picked up at 8 and back to hotel by 8:30pm ( Paris traffic)

Itinerary
When you first see Mont Saint-Michel, a sense of trepidation and unreality of what is happening appears. The majestic abbey in the style of flaming Gothic is located on the island-rock and since 709 has been enclosing a micro-city in its walls. You can walk through the mysterious halls, look into the monastery cathedral and refectory, get acquainted with the life of monks, walk along the only GrandeRue street built with medieval stone houses, sit in one of the cozy cafes serving oysters and calvados. From the observation deck on the rock there is a stunning view of the sea. The incredibly interesting history of the abbey and the former prison, mysteries and mystical coincidences will take you on an exciting journey a few centuries ago.

We were able to book with short notice. Ben drove us to and back from St. Mont Michael, safely, but including our visit to the abbey in 10 hours.
I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a private self guided day trip from Paris to Mont St Michel, which is exactly what we were interested in. Our diver Ben was an excellent driver. He picked us up on time and was excellent communicating with us on WhatsApp. The van had plenty of room and was comfortable.
Experience was terrific - my husband is recovering from ACL surgery so we wanted to do a private transfer rather than a large bus and your group so that he’d be more comfortable. Ben our driver was timely, courteous, professional and a great driver. The van was clean and comfortable enough that we napped on the long drive back to Paris. Pickup and dropoff were seamless. Would highly recommend.
Benjamin was great! So professional and wonderful. We had an extra long drive back to Paris due to holiday traffic, but we are so thankful for Benjamin for being able to power through. We had a lovely time at Mont Michel and completely stress free because we booked this service :)
Started on time, get to destination efficiently and ahead of schedule, returned one hour sooner than expected. Excellent planning, the organizer is very knowledgeable helping us to get thru the day.
My St Michel is worth the visit even with such a long ride. Our driver Villius is professional, efficient and polite. He is a safe and experienced driver and very attentive. Definitely ask for him.
Benjamin was amazing! Highly recommend this service and we definitely would ask for Benjamin again!!! We were exhausted from our previous travels and felt very comfortable even though we were not as talkative as usual. Thank you for the lovely stress free day.
Excellent experience with our driver. Benjamin. We left from the center of Paris to Mont Saint Michelle. He was punctual and courteous. Definitely would hire them again. Worth the visit !
The driver was really prompt at communicating thru WhatsApp. The Mercedes van was clean with WiFi. We were late for the pickup at Mont Saint Michel but he was very understanding.
Great driver. Comfortable road trip to Mont Saint Michel from Paris. The driver Ahmed is very kind and communicative Would recommend it.
A good historical and educational visit. The walking was a bit of a challenge but we were able to muscle through it. But the most important problem was lack of public RESTROOMS in the area. They need to fix that.
This is a great way to go see Mont Saint Michel. Yaroslav was our driver. He was very kind and courteous and had great driving skills! Mont Saint Michel is a special place in France from the setting to the architecture of the village. If you’re visiting Paris or Normandy it is well worth a visit. This tour offers a very comfortable transport and your own driver so you have flexibility with timing. We highly recommend this tour and your visit to Mont Saint Michel will be well worth it!
Had a personal driver, Benjamin, who drove us the 3.5 hours one way in a comfortable Mercedes to this incredible site. He waited while we spent about 4 hours touring the abbey and village, then drove us back to our hotel in Paris. I highly recommend this tour and Benjamin if you want to see this Unesco World Heritage site. We could have taken a less expensive tour however we would have had to navigate the Paris metro system cold turkey, so pick up at our hotel was great. Also, I couldn't find any other tours that even offered hotel pick up service .
Excellent experience with this tour company. Our two drivers (Ahmed and Benjamin) were outstanding. They were on time and very reliable. It was a great way to get to Mont Saint Michel from Paris with just our family. We did not want to take the big tour bus. I would highly recommend taking a private car. Made the trip very enjoyable. The tour company gave us a time range to pick from as the start of our day. Dispatcher and travel person both confirmed the trip and provided us with our drivers contact information.
Great tour guide Cyrus from Clewel Travels made our day on Christmas. We visited Mont Saint-Michel and old church on the Old Port and tasted local wines.
We were very pleased with our booking of a van for a day trip from our Paris hotel to MSM. The tour company was very responsive and appropriately communicated to confirm prior to the trip, including providing the drivers whatsapp. Our driver, Ahmed, arrived ahead of time and was extremely courteous and an excellent driver. The van was clean and well stocked with water and a booster seat (by request), and WiFi was made available for the entire trip. We were able to make both legs of the trip in the expected time frame. I highly recommend Marcel tours for this service.
I highly recommend the transport agency Marcel Tours. Their professionalism, attention to detail and excellent customer service make them an essential choice for any trip. I am extremely satisfied with their service and will not hesitate to call on them in the future.
It is known for its Romanesque facade with two pointed towers and sober style. It was founded in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, who is buried there. It is one of the great examples of Norman Romanesque architecture and a symbol of the city of Caen.
