Ryan did a phenomenal job as our tour guide. He was able to customize our tour to the specific requests that we had. He offered lots of great info and answered la ton of our questions. He also took our reservation on very short notice. I highly recommend him for your next tour of Mahe. He really knows his stuff, his van is clean and modern and he was very professional.

What a fantastic tour. Our guide, Ryan was on time, very relaxed, wanted to make sure we would have a great time and we did. Visited a Plantation House, Takamaka Rum Distillery, with tasting and all the best beaches along the South and west coast. Even a lunch stop. Ryan was kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. And the 4 hour tour… more like 5 1/2 hours. We were offered a tour of Victoria as well but we thought we would do this on another day. Thank you Ryan

Ryan contacted us the day before and confirmed the time of starting the tour. He was there as scheduled and was extremely kind and considerate and adjusted the tour according to our preferences. He was an amazing tour guide and helped us discover the uniqueness and beauty of the island. He is strongly recommended.

Ryan was an excellent guide - happy to let us set the pace and the stops and he had great suggestions for things to see. He was so knowledgeable about the islands too and his love of the Seychelles shone through. Mahé is a beautiful island and well worth exploring.

Ryan is a fantastic tour guide - I genuinely can’t recommend his tour enough. He has such a calm, friendly way about him that makes you feel instantly comfortable. He knows Seychelles' history and shares it in a way that’s interesting and easy to follow. It was one of the best tour experiences I’ve had!

If you’re looking for the best customizable tour in Mahé, look no further than Ryan. He brings incredible energy, deep local knowledge, and a genuine passion for sharing the beauty of Seychelles. Our tour was completely tailored to our interests—whether it was scenic spots, local eats, or hidden gems, Ryan made it all happen. Highly recommend booking with him for a one-of-a-kind experience!

My wife and I really enjoyed our half-day private tour in Mahé with Ryan! He was great about getting back with us to answer any questions we had about the tour and was waiting (as promised) to pick us up once our cruise ship arrived in Mauritius. He’s a really nice guy and was also super flexible with anywhere we wanted to go or anything we wanted do around the island. During our tour, we saw giant tortoises, went to beautiful beaches and historical spots around the island, did some souvenir shopping and learned a lot about Mahé and about Ryan. We were in such great hands and we will definitely reach out to him the next time we visit!
Thanks so much Ryan for spending the day with us! : )

We had a fantastic tour with Ryan. He’s an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the Seychelles and we saw so many different places. This tour exceeded our expectation and we have no hesitation in recommending this tour or Ryan.

My driver Ryan picked me up right on time at my hotel, and we headed off to the capital Victoria. The package isn’t so much a tour as having a knowledgeable guide at your disposal for 5 hours, so you can customize it to your interests. Ryan is a native, and very outgoing. I learned a lot. We were able to customize the tour to fit my interests, and we stopped for a very scenic lunch on the beach on the way back to my hotel (the cost was not covered in the tour). A great way to see the island!

A fully customized tour by Ryan who took the time to take me wherever I wanted and knew the best route, viewpoints, history and what to avoid. I enjoyed the stories about the islands and my special request to visit a restaurant out of the way. This was truly the highlight of my holiday in the Seychelles
Barbara_M, Jan 2025
Our driver and guide Ryan was exceptional! He is so knowledgeable about the Seychelles and he gave us a tour that provided all of the highlights of the beautiful island of Mahe. Lots of information and lots of fun - we highly recommend Ryan!

Our tour guide, Ryan, was nothing short of phenomenal, elevating our trip to an unforgettable experience.
We enjoyed engaging and enriching conversations throughout the journey. His extensive knowledge spanned across the geography, history, politics, and psychosociology of the Seychelles archipelago, painting a vivid and comprehensive picture of these captivating islands. His expertise brought each location to life, providing depth and context that enhanced our understanding and appreciation of this remarkable destination. Ryan's passion for the islands was infectious, leaving us with cherished memories and a profound connection to the Seychelles.

Ryan was very knowledgeable and fun. He took us on a walking tour of Victoria and then we drove around the south of the island. I would highly recommend this tour.

My daughter and I had a private half day tour with Ryan.
The day was all about Ryan for us. He took us to some lovely and interesting places and gave us a great deal of history and information about this wonderful place. His character, enthusiasm and humour made the experience - a lovely genuine gentleman. Best wishes to you Ryan and thanks for a memorable day.

Ryan asked us to provide a list of the things that you'd like to see in Mahe. We came to the tour with a list of the places we like to visit and see, and he added several others to the list with our approval. Ryan's commentary, his knowledge of the islands, his ability to communicate effectively, to understand, humor, and to clearly understand what we were interested in seeing. We took time to go through the botanical gardens and see the giant tortoises, which was a huge highlight of our tour. We got to drive up the coast and go to the Lookout to see and look out over the ocean. It was very dramatic and beautiful, and very much appreciated. This tour guide was clearly knowledgeable and educated as to what visitors would want to see. He was funny, and kind and very forthcoming. Everyone should take this tour because they will come away richer, knowing what Mahe like!
Sara_R, Oct 2023
Ryan is the best guide anyone could ask for! Super knowledgeable about Seychelles - its nature, people, economy, history! - besides being a great driver. The trip is 100% customizable, Ryan takes in account the type of activities the group wants to do or specific places people want to see and how much time they want to spend in each place (we were able to chill and enjoy some very nice beaches). We would recommend him to anyone that wants to get to know Seychelles.
Shelly_L, Oct 2023
Ryan was the perfect guide/driver. He gladly let us customize the tour to fit our interests and time frame. He was on time, very friendly and a good driver. Highly recommend Ryan for a custom tour!

Notre guide Ryan a été un modèle de gentillesse et de professionnalisme.
Il est venu nous chercher à l'heure a notre hôtel et nous a fait découvrir l'île de Mahé avec des explications précises et historique comme seul un local peut le faire . Grâce à lui nous avons visité des endroits plus magnifique les uns que les autres mais surtout sans précipitation et dans la bonne humeur. Son Van est très confortable et je recommande vivement a ceux qui veulent passer une incroyable journée une personne plus qu'exceptionnelle en la personne de Ryan
Merci encore a lui pour cette journée délicieuse.
