I was unsure whether it was an official ticket partner, as there were no more tickets bookable for that day on the official Mont Saint Michel website. All the other visitors were talking about QR codes, I only had a barcode... I was just unsure whether I had done it right. In the end, I got to Mont Saint Michel Abbey without any problems. It was impressive to be able to see this place. It was worth it, thank you very much!

It was super foggy when we arrived and the place looked like something out of a mystery novel. I actually loved the vibe. The abbey is HUGE, like, you keep turning corners and finding new rooms. Didn’t love all the crowds, but I guess that’s just part of it.

Family trip with our 13yo twins. They loved the ramparts and all the secret-feeling little alleys. Tons of steps, but worth it for the view. The guide had lots of fun stories. Only downside—hard to find a bathroom that isn’t crowded!

The abbey is super impressive but prepare for big crowds in July. Our guide was easy to understand and had lots of cool stories. The stairs are tough, but you get used to them. Wish the group was smaller, but still a great experience.

Cool place, but a bit crowded when we went (June weekends, go figure). Guide was friendly and easy to follow, and there was plenty of time for questions. Some of the rooms felt kinda rushed, but I guess that’s what happens with big groups. Still loved the atmosphere and hearing about the tides—never realized how dangerous that could be! Bring a light jacket, it gets chilly inside.
