    We had a wonderful day tour with Charles our driver and tour guide. Polite, calm, and professional, we would not hesitate to recommend Charles who felt more like a friend than a formal guide. He took us off the beaten track to spectacular viewpoints around the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.

    Great day

    Picked up on time great driver & vehicle. David was very informative with his knowledge of the Island. Nothing was a problem to him. Even took us shopping to an upmarket area. The walk through town was great. The only thing that I could say was a negative was that he was very softly spoken & there for it was hard hearing him at times sitting in the back seat.

    Awesome Time Seeing Mahé

    Elsa_L, Dec 2025
    We were picked up promptly on the day of the tour by David. He took us all over the island. We experienced the local market, the botanical gardens, amazing views throughout our journey and ate delicious food at a Creole restaurant. David was extremely kind and patient with us all day. Thank you for an awesome tour!

    Fantastic tour around Mahé

    Thomas_H, Jun 2025
    We had a great day travelling around Mahé. Our guide/driver did an excelent job. There was no stress, and you get to visit a lot of my places. I can highly recommend the tour!

    Incredible guide, incredible day — worth every moment!

    Marianne_S, Jun 2025
    We booked this tour among so many others because of Charles. He was mentioned so many times in the reviews as an amazing guide that I knew we had to choose this one — and the hype was absolutely real. We had such a great day! Charles took us to all the spots I had on my list, plus so many hidden gems we never would have found on our own. He was warm, funny, and kept us engaged the whole time — it honestly felt like spending the day with a very knowledgeable friend. By the end of the tour, even with the surprise rain shower (which gave us a good laugh), we felt like we had truly experienced the best of Mahé. If you’re trying to decide between this tour and another one — don’t hesitate. Book this one. You’ll love it!

    Island tour seychelles

    Hi,tour guide very good. However viewing the waterfall totally unsafe,terrible access,dangerous. Weather not great,botanical gardens interesting,but small,highlight totoises. Not the best tour ever.

    All around Mahe!

    HansGunnar_E, Jan 2025
    Wonderful, the driver was very helpful, and a perfect guide! He had a lot of knowledge of Mahe and Seychells. Thank you for the road trip, with many wonderful stops!

    Excellent Experience

    Kevin_L, Jan 2025
    Dean (our guide) was very friendly and showcased Mahe well. He possessed fantastic local knowledge. We couldn’t have covered as much sightseeing/highlights on our own without his expertise.

    Amazing Day!

    Jenna_M, Dec 2024
    We had an amazing day with Charles! He picked us up from the port and was more than willing to adjust the itinerary for our particular interests! We saw the best beaches, market, 2 separate overlooks, tortoises, waterfall, and the rum distillery. The market was amazing (seriously a must do). Of note, bring a towel if you want to swim at the base of the waterfall and there’s not a stop for lunch so eat a big breakfast!

    Magnificent Mahe

    Robert_L, May 2024
    We spent a magnificent day on Mahé with Charles, our driver/guide. This was our first visit to Mahe (and the Seychelles) and we wanted an overview of the island. Charles took us to all of the major sites on the island and allowed us to spend as much (or little) time as we wanted at each place. One of the highlights of our tour was the stop for lunch at a family owned cafe at the LE JARDIN DU ROI (spice garden). The view from the hills overlooking the ocean was wonderful and the food was delicious. You must try the Crepes Suzette with rum sauce. The best crepes we have ever eaten! Charles was an excellent guide. He patiently answered our many questions and described the history and culture of Mahé and the Seychelles. Our conversations were interesting and fun. Thank you Charles!

    It was a great experience.

    Rylan_C, Apr 2024
    The tour was great. The tour guide had a great knowledge of the Island, was very professional, and very friendly. He asked what I would like to see the most on the island, however I was unfamiliar with it. So he made suggestions and deducted from my reactions what I would like see and do and customized the trip to suit that. He still took my suggestions after that and made sure I had a good time. All I all a great experience I would like to do again.

    With Steady Eddie at the helm, you're in for a great time

    Andrew_D, Apr 2024
    A fabulous all-day tour that took us to see virtually the whole of the island, with time for swimming/snorkeling at the end. Eddie the driver/guide was friendly and courteous and handled the busy roads with aplomb.

    A 5 star service and 4 star tour because some of the tour are close due to Sunday holiday

    vangie, Nov 2023
    First of all our driver Eddie is excellent He did above and beyond our expectations. He is very patient to us an personally catered our needs I highly recommend him to continue to work with Viator locally to boast your good reputation. The highlight of our tour is the waterfalls It’s beautiful so do with Victoria city and the beautiful view point . Thank you again from Vangie and Edwin Sitchon

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Thank you for choosing our services and we are very appreciative of the positive review and rating. It would be a pleasure to serve you again.

    Excellent tour!

    Francesco_N, Dec 2025
    Eddy was a fantastic driver! Kind and considerate wrote to us via Whatsapp an hour before departure. We have defined our own program of visits including the Victoria market Takamaka Distillery and Anse Royale beach that Eddy followed punctually. On the way (with a clean and comfortable new car) he gave us so much information about the history of Seychelles and everyday life. For anyone who wants to make a tailor-made tour is the right choice!

    Seychellen für Kreuzfahrt-Besucher

    Harald_M, Apr 2024
    Mahe war wunderschön und wir konnten wohl die wichtigsten Dinge sehen, obwohl die Zeit ja kurz war. Wenn der Fahrer unterwegs noch ein paar mehr Informationen über die Insel und die Seychellen im allgemeinen geben würde, wäre es perfekt.
