Francois has been conducting tours for two decades, hails from Seychelles and was raised on the island. Fluent in German, he possesses a great sense of humor and introduces you to hidden spots not commonly frequented by all. It is definitely a worthwhile experience.

A perfect day on Mahe - We travelled as a family and were 4 people. We had booked the full day tour with Francois. Booking was straightforward via Whats app. Francois picked us up from the hotel on time at 9.00 am and then we started exploring. He was funny, his passion for the island was felt and he has an incredible knowledge of nature on Mahe. Many fruit trees grew on the roadsides. There's a lot we didn't know. But he explained and showed us everything. We were able to see and get to know the many, beautiful facets of the island on this tour. It was a very successful trip, thank you Francois.

Great fun trip - Fabulous way to see round the whole island while on a stay in Mahe.
Just be aware of a surcharge of 600 rupee for a pick up if you are on the south of the island .

A wonderful day - Because of the good reviews, we decided to do a tour of the island with Francois. What can we say? It was simply a completely successful day. We will remember the buggy ride forever, and of course Francois with his friendly and open manner.

Highly recommended your/guide 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 - We had a wonderful day with Francois we drive through whole Mahé island seeing wonderful beaches and places. It was pleasure to meet him he is a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the island but you can speak with him about anything. Only problem was the time that was flying by. Thank you for wonderful experience. 🙏🫶🏻 And never forget “After the Rain there’s is always Sunshine” 😉👋🏻

Perfect day! - It was a wonderful trip that we couldn't have imagined better! For a small fee, we were picked up from our desired pick-up location and brought back there at the end.
The buggy ride is great fun and is definitely recommended! We are very happy that we booked the trip in time and would definitely do it again if we fly to the Seychelles again! We were provided with food and lots of information about the culture and flora of Mahé.
Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Island tour - A great and informative tour of the island. We learned a lot about the country, people and landscape. Many stops with beautiful views. Francoise brought us closer to the many sides of his island. Can be absolutely recommended.

The worst tour!! - The worst tour we've ever booked. The two stops in the rum factory and at the waterfall we could not enjoy because we had only a short stay there. We could not visit the rum factory or bathe at the waterfall. The operator was constantly under time pressure and rushing and constantly on only to stop somewhere and explain to us repeatedly, the same plants as just before. He was also very rude most of the time. The best thing about the tour was the vehicle, which was unfortunately in bad condition and you were not allowed to drive.
