Awesome day with Ryan

gregory_h, Feb 2023

We had a terrific full day tour of Mahe with Ryan we saw so much and the side trip to the botanical gardens was awesome. He is very knowledgeable and is such a terrific and kind person. During our tour he even had obtained fresh coconuts that he tapped into for us to drink the water. We travelled around the whole island and stopped at many spots an even several unexpected places for us to take photos. thank you so much for our tour. We were very fortunate to have had him as our tour guide.
