I booked this trip for my Dad and Mum and i wanted to customize the itinerary based on their interests. I reached out to charles before hand and he was very accommodating. My parents had a lovely time. He professional and very courteous. He took them around Mahe and very patient with them as they elderly. He is very knowledgeable about the area and is great tour guide. I booked another tour for Half day session and it was also a splendid time. Thank You Charles.

We really enjoy the experience. I think it is a great value for your money. The lunch was good with grilled chicken and tuna. The driver pick us up from the hotel on time and was there when we arrived. We didn’t need to wait. In the boat there is not so much space, so don’t bring so much luggage. I recommend bringing you own water shoes and swimming glasses. In General really friendly personal and overall a nice organized tour.

The tour was amazing! Our guide, Dominique, was excellent! He showed us around the island and informed us about the culture in Seychelles as well as giving us information about each spot we were visiting. The vehicle was very comfortable! We were lucky cause the weather was perfect and we have managed to see the amazing views that the tour has to offer. We did enjoy the tour with Dominique!

Driving around Mahe with James was a great experience. He introduced Seychelles and it’s history perfectly and managed to make our trip enjoyable despite the heavy rain that day. I would definitely recommend this trip to learn more about the country and the everyday life of the locals.

Great experience, our driver was super and we loved chatting with him.
