Many thanks! - Our tour guide made our trip! He was absolutely incredible and answered all our questions. We 100% recommend doing the private tour as it’s catered to your party spend as long or as little as you want in locations. We learnt so much and visited so many beautiful places.
The only bit I personally didn’t enjoy was lunch, but that’s my preference on taste, so many others enjoyed, my husband included. I wish I could have upgraded my lunch at the restaurant!

Great experience with a fantastic knowledgeable guide - Collected on time by our guide Baboo, he was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the island and culture. Fantastic areas of beauty visited and amazing views and also seeing the monkeys and giant tortoise. Stopped off for lunch and experienced the local curry which again was very nice. Great day and Baboo was excellent

Great Tour of Mauritius from Cruise Ship - Private tour in air conditioned mini van. Our driver/guide Rajes was at the port waiting with a sign with our names. He was very personable and VERY informative! His accent made understanding difficult a few times but he was very patient and gladly repeated as necessary. We saw the Black River Gorge viewpoint, the Chameral sites (waterfall, seven coloured earths, tortoises), Alexandra Falls, and Grand Bassin Hindu Temple.. Then we had a delicious lunch at Ebony Table D'Hote, a short visit to Trou aux Cerfs, a souvenir shop and then back to the ship. We were able to beat the tour buses to most of the sites which was nice and being an independent tour, much cheaper than the crowded ship provided tours. Highly recommend this tour.

A beautiful day in Mauritius - The day began with a great and exceptional experience to see the dolphins and swim with it was an unforgettable moment!!!
Then the day continued with our guide Vicki who is a top person who knows very well the history of his island, who remains discreet too and he drives super well.
Throughout the day you could discover different viewpoints from the south west, Chamarel Park, Hindu temple eucalyptus forest.
Vicky took us to a Mauritian specialty restaurant that was super good.
In conclusion a great day

Excellent - Two very good days (south east and south west) spent with our driver Rajen.
Besides, he's much more than a driver. He is above all an excellent guide, punctual, educated, involved, who loves to share and ... cautious on the road.
Thanks to him, in addition to making interesting visits, we learned a lot from Mauritian history and culture.
I highly recommend this company and especially a huge thank you to Rajen.
