“Great value for the cost. It is a lot more strenuous then you indicated in your tour description to make the climb to the abbey at St Michele. I would highlight that fact a little stronger. Even though I could make it to the top as a 75 yr old I still had the time of my life and would highly recommend going to St Michele without the ability to make it to the top. Most definitely tell everyone to try the E42 omelette at the famous restaurant, La Mere Poulard, at the base. A once in a lifetime experience. Worth every cent of the cost Your guides knowledge of…”

“We recently took this tour to Mont Saint-Michel and the Loire Valley, and while there were a few highlights, overall, it was a frustrating experience. First, the positives: the guide for the second leg of our journey from after Mont Saint-Michel through the Loire Valley back to Paris was fantastic. She was professional, knowledgeable, and kind, which made the latter part of the trip much more enjoyable. The hotel in Angers was also great! Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The rest of the tour was poorly managed. The bus driver refused to help with our luggage, even though portage was clearly included in the tour package. My husband had…”

“Clewel Travel is unprofessional. They did not provide the service promised. First it was suppose to be English Speaking. He was not! Second - They mixed up the tour we were suppose to do with another one. When we told them this was not on our tour their solution was to compromise the complete tour. We paid up front and traveled thousands of miles to see the sites promised and they expected us to be happy with the compromise because it was better than nothing at all. They provided 2 out of the 7 places. Our charge was over $3,000 for 2 people and when we asked for a refund…”

We had previously visited the D-Day sites on a river cruise in 2024, but we wanted to see more sites in the region the following year. Nataly was the loveliest and most knowledgeable guide to help us see Etretat, Honfleur, La Havre (great museum there!), Bayeaux, Mont Saint Michel and Cancale. Nataly was ready to enrich each stop with her knowledge and sparkling humor. She loves history as much as we do, so my wife and I were so grateful for Nataly’s expertise.
