Best way to get to know the island
I gave the tour to my son and his girlfriend for his birthday. The tour took place just at the beginning of their stay. Sheena picked them up at the hotel and discussed with them what they would like to see.
They were thrilled with the tour and especially with the friendly and knowledgeable local guide Sheena. A wonderful way to get to know the island!

Most amazing experience with Sheena
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this your was. I can categorically say they are less than 10 humans as amazing as our tour guide Sheena was. We went with our kids, 6 years olds and 4. Kids hey literally couldn’t stop crying at the end of the trip when they j ew Sheena had to leave. She was super kind, patient, genuinely caring and all round amazing. You haven’t had a tour in Seychelles if you haven’t gone with Sheena. She made our experience the best ever! We made a couple of stops we wanted to and she was very willing to do so and educate us on the culture of the Seychellois. Thanks a lot and God bless you real good!!!!

Fun, fun, fun day!
My husband, 21 and 25 year sons and I had the best time with Sheena!! We had already gone snorkeling, scuba diving so on our last day before a night flight out we decided to see more of the island, but not with a stuffy tour bus. After reading reviews we booked Sheena and we were not disappointed!! Sheena just is so much fun to be with, and was completely easy going and flexible about what we wanted to do and see and last minute changes. We did the typical sights like the rum distillery (but spent longer time than anyone else with Mario getting custom drinks while she patiently waited!), water fall and different parts of the island that we hadn’t seen, then she even found a sushi bar for us! but really what makes the tour so great is Sheena herself – just such a lovely fun person to be with, full of interesting anecdotes, we were laughing through the whole day! If you want a great friend for a day, book Sheena for your private island tour!

Great day all around Mahé
Mahé is beautiful and Sheena is the perfect guide to show the most stunning places and share great
stories about the history and the present of the island and its people. I loved the experience and
recommend each visitor to Mahé to book this trip with Sheena!

What an Amazing Trip! – Became Friendship!
I was in the Seychelles with my daughter for about 6 weeks and a client relationship turned into a friendship.
Sheena is such a lovely person and a great tour guide. She took us on tours that we would not have expected. We also appreciated her personally because she is funny with her own sense of humour that infects everyone.

Wonderful Private Tour
My husband and I booked a private day tour with as we wanted to see the ‘off the beaten’ track sights of the Seychelles and Sheena didn’t disappoint! Driving what felt like the entirety of the island, we were taken to beautiful and secluded private beaches, hilltop look out points and also to the Takamaka rum distillery for some afternoon cocktails. Sheena’s driving was excellent and her knowledge of the culture and history of the island were very good. would highly recommend !
