Nice tour with good guide - Francois is a polite and friendly man, who knows a lot about the island and talks about it in a nice way. He is tidy on his car and buggy and expects the same from his guests.
He gives a lot of information and shows a lot of the island. Provided us with a savory, tasty snack and a bottle of cold water. We had a great time.

Great - Great! Francois is a very expert and amicable guide. We had half a day tour of the island, from beaches to mountains, rum distillery and tea plantations. 100% suggested! Thank you Francois!

Adventure-packed island tour - It was a great day. Francois showed us the island with his buggy. We were picked up from the cruise terminal on time and later delivered there again. Francois showed us "his" island. Water and snack were incl.
We are glad to have made the tour. The buggy stands out and you are often greeted waving. We can take home many impressions.

Great tour with many interesting and beautiful experiences - It was just great with our great guide Francios. We were on Mahe for the second time and gave you a new insight into the beauty of the island.
The ride with the Buggie was huge fun

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 Tour, very disappointing finish - The tour with Francios was fantastic with just a few disappointments, first we did not to spend any time on any off their beautiful beaches and the main reason I could not give it a 5 star was because when the tour was finished we were stuck in school traffic and were dropped off outside of town, not at the pickup point. We were told it was about a 15 minute walk back to the ship, and it was actually 50 minutes back to the pickup and another 10 to the ship.

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.
