Ryan is a very good guide and so flexible whatever I want, he does his best to do it.
Moreover, he really has experience in the beaches, which one is good, or crowded, or has waves so you can't swim etc..
I recommend this tour to anyone wants to have a good idea about the island
Thanks alot Ryan

Ryan is such a pleasant guy to be with. He took us (wife, 3 kids, and I) across Mahe, with high level of flexibility and consideration to the three children on board. The kids liked him and were listening well to the stories and facts he shared, and further enjoyed games they played with Ryan.
All perfect, Ryan is a...

If you will ever think about a Mahé Island Tour go with Ryan.I travelled a lot the last years and met Guides all over the World.But Ryan is one of the Best i have ever met in my life. He is Kind, open minded,knows nearly everything about Mahé and the history and the best Thing is, you can laugh a lot with him.
He took me to All the places around the Island and explained everything.When you have a question go for it. I loved the Tour with him.
Thank you Ryan for this amazing day.

It is difficult to adequately express what a wonderful guide and person Ryan is! He is a proud, incredibly knowledgable ambassador for his beautiful country and is eager to share the island with visitors. I thoroughly appreciated how flexible Ryan is in tailoring tours to visitors' specific interests/needs. Rather than the scripted tour one normally receives, Ryan custom designs an itinerary for each individual visitor. I can say without a doubt he is the kindest and most patient guide I've had and I thoroughly enjoyed all of our conversations (you will not only have a wonderful guide but you will make an amazing new Seychellois friend!). He is also generous with recommendations for other islands, beaches, restaurants, etc. All of his suggestions were spot on and I had the best meals and discovered even more gorgeous sights thanks to him. Thank you, Ryan, for sharing so much!
Amazing Tour

We did the private Mahe Island day tour with Ryan. He is a great guy and an awesome guide. Had a total individual experence an saw everything we wanted (except the rain in the afternoon 😅). 2 days later we did a private boatstour with him (islandhopping: La Digue, Preslin & Curieuse) - simply perfect!
Thanks again & kind regards

A perfect tour

I went on a full day tour of the island of Mahé with Ryan which was in every respect a great and most enjoyable experience. Ryan is a wonderful tour guide, very knowledgeable, reliable and attentive. He is also a very calm and level-headed driver. Ryan has a very good feeling for the interests of his clients (among others by observing what they take pictures of, very nice) and designs the tour accordingly. He also asks for special requests and accommodates them. Thanks to his big knowledge about the Seychelles, vegetation, culture, history, etc, I took a lot from that day. You can truly feel the love he has for the islands - and he manages well to pass it on. Last but not least he is very open-minded and pleasant to talk to. I can most warmly recommend this – or any other - tour with Ryan to everyone. And hope I will have the chance to take another one in the future myself ;-)

From the off, we felt absolutely at ease with Ryan and our gut instincts were proved right! It was fascinating to have the experience of a local who clearly loved the island. His enthusiasm for the culture and history was contagious. We had previously emailed him a list of things we'd like to do not expecting him to fit it all and were pleasantly surprised he did without it feeling rushed or pressured. Our tour included: Anse Soleil, Takamaka beach and rum distillery, Craft village, Victoria and its markets, Mission Lodge and lookout, a lovely beach side restaurant for lunch plus lots more including a swim stop in a gorgeous sheltered bay. Thanks Ryan for such an enjoyable day and adding to our Seychelles experience!
Fantastic outing on Mahe Island

Ryan gave us a lovely day. His knowledge of the history, vegetation and culture of the Seychelles was amazing and he demonstrated how the cinnamon was harvested. He knew the places to eat. We saw the giant Tortoises, spent time on the beautiful beach (Ryan knew the best spots to go) and experienced the amazing coastline. We could not have faulted Ryan's manner, punctuality in collecting us after the beach experience and his discreet way.
There was not much toilet opportunity as which was not his fault and unfortunately we missed seeing the rum distillery as it closes early on Saturdays while we spend unwanted time in the crowded town at the start.
Ryan picked us up from a cruise ship, we found him but it would have helped if he had held a sign with our name on.
A terrific guide!

Ryan is an awesome tour guide. Would definitely recommend him anytime.
Our tour was on a Holiday, and he explained in advance what and how he planned the trip based on our needs and inputs and is very accomodating on time.
He made this a really enjoyable tour. He showed us around the whole island,and his knowledge on Local heritage is really good.
He was accommodating in every aspect and tailored the tour to our needs.
Un concentré de culture Seychelloise et de gentillesse. Guide 5 étoiles

Ryan est un super guide. Pour ma dernière journée sur les Seychelles, j'avais à coeur d'en apprendre davantage sur l'histoire de l'archipel. Des anecdotes, de l'histoire, des rires, une découverte totale mais en détente et sur mesure de l'ile de Mahé. C'était juste parfait. Il a capté de suite ce que je recherchais. Je me suis sentie privilégiée! Un grand merci à Ryan pour cette journée. J'ai sauté dans l'avion la tête remplie de magnifiques souvenirs. A recommander sans aucune hésitation!

When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above.
