Very special afternoon and walk through the sandbanks and rivers surrounding Mont St Michel at low tide. Stunning scenery and excellent guide. The quicksand was an added bonus and fun.
Thank you so much for your feedback, i'm happy you enjoyed the tour and the quicksand experience
Fun and interesting tour around the bay and through the water. Nice views of Mont-Saint-Michel and Tombelaine
Thank you so much for your review, exactly to be a fun and interesting tour is my first objectif and you enjoyed also the views and photos around Mont Saint Michel.
Excellent guide for a nice walk and pretty photos in complete safety. Final bonus with the quicksand.
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis, La traversée permet de voir le Mont sous tous les angles, dans son milieu naturel et bien sur les sables mouvants font partis de la découverte.
Wonderful trip. Lots of fun and would definitely do it again. Our guide, Stephan was wonderful. Bring lots of water, wear sunscreen and water shoes.
Thank you very much for your feedback and advice for future hikers.
Thank you very much Stephano for the fantastic explanation, also making the effort to speak in Spanish. The quicksand, the views, and the tour in general were great
Muchas gracias por tus comentarios, Hablo un poco espanol y estoy feliz que el paseo fue un gran recuerdo de tu estancia en el Mont Saint Michel.
Bertrand was such a kind, thoughtful, funny and knowledgeable guide who took us through the bay, showed us the quicksand and we head about so much rich history from the region. Book this tour! You won’t regret it.
Nice guide who speaks good English and nice trip. Definitely worth it
Hartelijk dank voor uw feedback, I'm happy you enjoyed the bay walk and the tour guide.
Good experience, very kind guide and most gorgeous views
Thank you so much for your review, i'm happy you enjoyed the bay walk and the tour guide..
This was a really unique experience that not everyone gets to do. A wonderful way to get away from all of the crowds and see all sides of Mont Saint Michel, including the quicksand! It is a lot of walking and is more ecologically focused, but it is very fun, especially as we got to watch the tide come in after the tour.
Thank you very much for your feedback; I am happy that you enjoyed the bay walk and the quicksand experience. During spring tides, it's possible after the tour and thanks to my guidance to watch the arrival of the tidal bore.
It was absolutely brilliant ! Highly recommend. Our guide was very good and knowledgeable. The admission fee was really affordable, the visit took just over 3 hours, the group size was small , it was a really good day
Thank you very much for your review; I am delighted that you enjoyed the bay crossing and the quicksand experience. The group size can go up to 30 people, but it generally hovers around 20, depending on the day and the season.
