Mont Saint Michel private guided shuttle

Visit one of the most spectacular sights in Normandy!

The beauty of the architecture, its long history and the movement of the highest tides in continental Europe make this site a “must see” in this region.

Known as a Marvel of the Western World, the monument and its unique natural setting are also now classified World Heritage sites by UNESCO.

After I pick you up from your accommodation in Bayeux, we will drive to the Mont Saint Michel, a journey of around 1,5 hours.

On route, you will discover the Normandy countryside and I will share with you information and stories of Norman as well as WW2 history.

Once we have arrived, you will receive your Abbey entry tickets and you will have around 5 hours of leisure time to enjoy your visit, seeing the medieval village, museums (not included in the price of the tour), the world famous Abbey, have lunch – it is a magical place! At the pre-arranged meeting time we will depart for our return journey to Bayeux.

Fantastic experience! Absolutely fantastic experience! Mike was a superb guide and host. He was able to weave all sort of stories and information into the all the sights. I cannot imagine using another guide. Our day with him was the highlight of our entire trip!

Couldn't have had a better experience! Mike at Allied Victory Tours was a great host for our 2 days in Normandy. He did a great job of catering the tour for both those with an in depth knowledge of WWII, as well as those less knowledgable and tagging along for the ride. I can't say enough good things about our experience!Not only was Mike's expetise and thought out planning at the forefront of the tours, but his great sense of humour and personability as well. I'd recommend Allied Victory Tours to anyone looking to steer away from larger group tours and have a more unique experience.

Super! Mike is knowledgable, flexible, and fun to spend time with. We had our two kids with us and he kept them engaged the entire time. During the tour we made a decision to change the original itinerary due to the great discussions we were engaged in, for example most people aren't interested in the German cemetery, but when we asked about seeing it, Mike took us and taught us so much about it. If you are a Saving Private Ryan fan or Band of Brothers, this is the tour for you. However, our family had other interests as well (eg. the role of the Polish army in the landings) and Mike proved super knowledgable. Highly recommend!

Mike gets top marks from our family Our family all agreed that Mike was the best tour guide we’ve had anywhere in the world! Planning and logistics were seamless…he quickly responded to my email inquiry and showed that he understood our needs and recommended the best tour for us. We’re a family of 4 with college aged son and daughter. Son was VERY interested and knowledgeable about DDay and WWII; daughter knew very little other than watching Saving Private Ryan. Mike kept everyone engaged and we all learned so much. We were in a private minivan which allowed us to be more nimble and go places the tour buses cannot. At the end of the day Mike timed it perfectly so that we arrived at the American cemetery in time for the lowering of the flag. So moving…what a beautiful place that really made us proud to be Americans. Bottom line…I highly recommend Mike at Allied Victory Tours!

Great Experience This tour was great! Mike was an excellent host providing a great experience for my in-laws, wife, son (11), and me. He tailored the visit for us and included personal investment into my father-in-law's father's experience w/ the 2nd Armored Division at Omaha. Book your tour with Allied Victory Tours - you will enjoy it!

Memories to last There are tour guides and then there is Mike. From setting the tone and having a flexible agenda for our kids, Mike was great to work with. The history of Normandy is amazing and Mike goes in a layer deeper making it so we can visualize being at some of the sites back in the day. You cant expect kids to absorb everything in one day yet Mike was patient and helped out when needed to explain things in a context the kids would understand. We took some great pictures, had a nice lunch and really got to appreciate how the world was hinging on a few precious moments back on D-Day.

A One Class Tour Mike was an exceptionable tour guide for our Normandy visit. His knowledge of WW II and the events that took place was A +++!It was an all day tour ending with Taps at the US cemetery which was extremely moving. Would recommend Allied Victory Tours without hesitation. The van for our group was clean comfortable and safe.

Great day with an excellent guide We took an early train in from Paris, and Mike van den Dobblesteen met us at the Bayeux train station and took us for a quick coffee to get the trip started. Then we started in the village of Angovile-au-Plain where we learned the amazing story of two American 101st Airborne medics, Bob Wright and Ken Moore, the angels of mercy who turned the a small Catholic church into a medical aide center on D-Day and treated both wounded American and Germans troops. Then we proceeded to Saint Mere Eglise, Utah Beach, the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery.Mike was the consummate guide and host. It was like being with an old friend who might as well be a PhD professor in all things related to Operation Overlord. Not only was Mike one of the most knowledgable people you'll ever meet on D-Day, but he frames the stories about the heroic actions of the Allied troops in a way that grips your attention and makes you want to learn even more.Hearing the stories and details of people such as Col. James Rudder, who led the charge of Rangers to scale the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc and to capture German guns and fight off the enemy for more than two days until reinforcements arrived was riveting. It was an honor to be there and see the dagger memorial where President Reagan also stood during his 1984 speech there when he honored these heroes.Walking on the sacred ground of Omaha Beach and seeing the challenge our troops had fighting Germans holed up in machine gun nests was also particularly poignant. It's hard to express the feelings and gratitude we had into words.Further, it was also a privilege to visit the American Cemetery, where 9,388 heroes are buried. It's one of the most beautiful settings you'll ever visit with the cross and Star of David gravesites and a beautiful reflecting pond, memorial and chapel — and the English Channel in the background. We were honored to be there when they lowered the flags in the late afternoon and played Taps. We felt proud and patriotic.As an aside, Mike took us to a wonderful boulangerie for lunch and drove us around in a clean, comfortable and spacious van. We couldn't have asked for more. The entire day and tour was first rate and is highly recommended.

Don't see Normandy without Mike! It's one thing to be an expert .... it's an entirely different thing to show so much joy in sharing your knowledge. I booked this trip for 7 of us - all Americans, varying degrees of knowledge about Normandy and at the end ALL told me that it was one of the best tours they have ever been on. Mike is personable, relatable, funny, knowledgeable and sincerely dedicated to his craft. There is nothing else this man should do but these tours because he is THE BEST. You will not be disappointed and you will end your day really feeling what our guys did for their country and the world.
