Discover South Mauritius with a speaking guide in Italian. - Luciano talented guide and driver, Mauritian who lived many years in Italy, accompanied us to the largest Hindu temple in Africa, in the land of 7 colors and Rumeria. The excursion is worth doing as in 1 day you alternate moments of discovery of Hindu traditions, learn the process of production of Rum and see interesting aspects of the territory of Mauritius. Especially for Italian tourists I highly recommend for land excursions to be accompanied by Luciano experienced and prepared guide.

Great tour of south Mauritius - Excellent tour. Our tour guide was super efficient and welcomed us ahead of disembarking from the ship. He was easily identified on the pier and the car was spotless. He was very informative and chatted in general about Mauritius life as well as important details about the sights. He let us do our own thing in our time at each of the stops and we had all the time we needed. The 7 colours park was not accessible due to road works (we were informed ahead of the trip) so we went to 23 colours instead. Entrance fee was included in the tour price but we decided to do the buggy ride at our own expense - well worth it. Lunch was a 3 course seafood meal at a lovely restaurant en route. Great intro to Mauritian food and the island.

Discover the south of the island - We were accompanied by Navin, a private driver who is very friendly. He was able to take us to the south of the island where we discovered beautiful views. He explained the local culture. The meal was made in a small local restaurant, it was very good. Thank you Navin for this excursion and for your kindness. The excursion was faithful to the description except the land of seven colors which could not be done because the road is under construction but our driver made us discover the valley of 23 colors which is very beautiful place.

A little sloppy visit - Even though we went through the main sites, a visit to the south of the island was made quite quickly. During the visit to the north with another driver, he showed us sites on the southern circuit (near our hotel) where the first driver had not deigned to stop. The meal was okay, no more. We came home earlier than expected, our attendant seemed in a hurry to finish her day.

Conditions are vital - The entire experience should have been cancelled due to the weather conditions, the guide was amazing but 90 % of the tour was unseeable due to the rainy conditions.

Don’t use - Driver never picked us up from port terminal as he said he was. Gave specifically telling him where to meet us outside of the terminal where you pick up baggage. Never showed nor did he answer phone that another tour guide made to him, twice. We were to be picked up at 9 and we did make it off the ship by 7:45 and the elderly couple that we were traveling with were 7:15 in the blazing sun until 9:34 and never came. He texted at 10:34 saying he was there. So I don’t know where he was.
