10 Day Trips from in Victoria That You Shouldn't Miss
A day on foot is ample time to see Victoria, one of the smallest capitals in the world. Located on Mahe, one of the Seychelles' 115 granite and coral islands, Victoria is the republic's business and cultural hub. At its center sits the Victoria Clocktower, a national monument reminiscent of London's "Big Ben" that has kept ticking since 1903, unaffected by the modern glass and concrete development around it. Visit the local art galleries and craft markets to soak up the city's friendly charm.

We were three couples visiting Mahe Island for the day while our cruise ship was there. Our tour guide was Jude and he picked us up and dropped us off at the port. What I really like about him is that he has perfect English, was very informative and was very flexible. He also has a great sense of humor. He also gave us a clear picture of life in the Seychelles and was willing to deviate from his standard tour in any way we wished. He found us a great seafood restaurant on the water for lunch. He also understood the need for timelines as we needed to get back to the ship on time!

Very rude and unprofessional. The organiser Maria seems to be a drama queen, she kept on shouting at us and other guests on arrival at the pick up point. The pick up itself was 45 mins late than committed. While on the trip, they were short of snorkelling equipments and life jackets. The experience was a big let down considering it is an expensive tour. Also when we came back to the marina at Eden, there was some fight between the J'adore team and a local person claiming that he had not been paid by them for services rendered. Overall a day in paradise that was ruined by an unprofessional service.
