I think we went on Saturday June 10 with a tour guide named Alex, a woman from Hong Kong, some people from Portugal, and someone from a Spanish speaking country. Alex brought a lot of energy and positivity and made a good tour better. I did tours myself and I think he's a guy who is always adding new tricks and abilities such as new languages or new historical knowledge. He seems to have good relations with local cider makers. My wife loved this trip, possibly more than anything else we did. Mt. St. Michele is like if Hogwarts and Minas Tirith had a baby. It's an amazing gorgeous place. When you pick a restaurant try not to pick the first one you see necessarily. Check out several places and make a decision. We picked one with an outdoor terrace but it was not that great. The ramparts and Abbey are incredible. Be respectful or else. The flocks of seagulls are very aggressive and will almost attack you if they think you have something in your hands. Be ready to scare them off. The minivan was cramped, but I eventually realized if I sat in a certain spot I could stretch out better. The tour guide will make at least one stop in both directions for bathrooms/food. However the places we stopped had no toilet seats, which was bizarre and disgusting.
