Hakuna matata - We were absolutely thrilled, and our driver was absolutely professional and charming, so patient that we were able to take plenty of time to take pictures. We gained many insights and were able to ask so many questions about the island, including politics and religion. I can only recommend it.

Great trip - Great trip. Took us to all the destinations that was planned! Nice driver - not that informative, but we had a lot of time to explore on our own.

Wonderful tour for all the family - My wife and I had a great trip around the south part of the island. We saw a stunning waterfall, the tallest one in Mauritius, we went to the geopark to see the array of coloured earth and the giant tortoises were an added bonus. Definitely try out the coffee at the geopark. A tad on the pricy side, but its really nice. Our restaurant, Saviour Tropical in Chamarel was a decent enough eatery. Nitin was a great driver for our trip and though we were in the middle of an anti-clyclone and couldn't see a few spots, he was kind enough to give us extra time at other places. It was a lovely trip.

Family holiday - This experience was good, the private tours are great and the driver will quite often take you to other places in the way of interest. The waterfalls however spectacular the pictures show are good but not that good. The vegetation is so overgrown you only see about 50 metres not the last bit of it falling into the lake...bit underwhelming to be honest. Not sure what they can do about it

Don’t do it in the rain... - Don’t do it in the rain as the colours are not as good, they look a lot better on your camera once you have taken a picture.
