Value for money, professionalism, quality, responsiveness to enquiries
The tour with Shenna was just great. We saw and experienced a lot. She is very nice, funny and helpful. The trip was a dream, she knows every corner of the island and has great insider tips. We would immediately book a tour with Shenna again, simply top. She even speaks a little German, it’s just fun to spend the day with her.
Thank you very much
Kind regards Wally and Peter

An absolute must if you visit!! Incredible Guide! I did the Island tour and the Rockpool Hike and both days were easily my favorite days on the island! On the island tour Sheena made wonderful recommendations on food, beaches, hikes, shops, activities etc. Basically anything you might want to do on this beautiful island: She knows the perfect spot! The Rockpool hike was full of outstanding views and photos, the beauty of this place will stun you for hours. Sheena is an angel and extremely flexible and welcoming. She loves her home island and that energy is infectious. If you come here without a plan or wanting to see the real island outside your resort Call IslandTours, Sheena is your girl!! Thank you Sheena, I’ll be back for sure!

The Mahe Experience
It was a really great day with Sheena. She responded ad hoc to our wishes and ideas for the tour. For example, we were able to visit the Hindu temple and the market in Victoria. For the rest of the island she had prepared a great tour with many beautiful bays and beaches. She knows everyone on Mahe and can tell something about every corner. We have so in one day can experience what would have needed 3 or 4 alone.

Everyone who visits Mahe should have a tour from Sheena. She was extremely knowledgeable of the island, it’s secrets, and history right down to the upside down map. The stories and sights she shared will stay with us forever. She gave us an incredible private tour of the Spice Garden where she showed us herbal remedies used many years ago by her ancestors and still used today by many locals. If there was anything we wanted to see along the road she stopped and is flexible adjusting the route. We truly felt we experienced the island and it’s culture from top to bottom. We would highly recommend her tours and will absolutely book her again when we return.

Great tour with Sheena!
It was a very informative, comprehensive and very fun island tour. Sheena is great! We saw everything from Victoria, the Jardin du Roi spice garden to several great viewpoints and insanely beautiful beaches! Also, just the route through rainforests and fascinating mountains was breathtaking! Many thanks for that!

Great Island Tour
We had a great time with Sheena. It’s a big island, and there’s a lot to see, so if you are like we were and you want to get oriented and see a bunch of the island in a short amount of time – this a great way to do it. You’ll get a much better sense of the vibe and info about history and culture with Sheena than if you try it alone. I recommend, Sheena was great!
