Lots of small perineal tpuches and lots of gorgeous places! I especially loved the local artist store we went at the end to shop for gorgeous local made things. He went out of his way to find it in advance when all other stores were closed.

We went to lots of viewpoints and visited the gallery I wanted to see. As he said, he was not a qualified guide so his in depth knowledge of social, political and cultural was limited but we certainly benefitted from his considered and personal perspectives on current Seychelles life. It was a great tour, thoroughly enjoyed.”
