Excellent day out - We did this tour with Pravesh of luxe holidays Mauritius. He arrived on time, pointed out interesting places on the route and allowed us plenty of time to take enough photos and absorb all of the placez we stayed at. We were back at our hotel on time and had a great day. Proved spoke perfect English, was warm friendly and informative. We would definitely recommend him to everyone.

Recommended excursion if you are staying in the south of the island - The excursion was very good. It felt like a private excursion, because there were only my wife and me in the car. It lasted 7 hours and we loved it. Vikesh drives very well, he took some photos of us, explained things about the culture and traditions, and the conversation with him was very pleasant. Thank you!

Great photo opportunities - Lots of photo opportunities Great way to see the south of the island Picked up as planned from hotel Had private driver , really nice young guy who spoke quite good English and explained each viewpoint and took photos and gave us time to wander round each stop . Lunch was at local restaurant, food was really nice although limited menu but included in tour price . Restaurant was clean and busy . Tour took approx 3 hours , did stop at local store and felt that we had to purchase something which wasn’t on the tour The coastline is beautiful and Mauritius is a beautiful island . Great tour for the price and allows you to visit each place at your own pace . Would definitely recommend for a day out .

Thank you Nitin for a wonderful day - Our driver Nitin was excellent, his English was good and his knowledge excellent, we enjoyed our day with him. The weather in early June was very changeable, We had rain on and off, which was a shame but it didn’t dampen the experience. Would recommend Nitin.

Nitesh (our driver) was... - Nitesh (our driver) was friendly & rang to advise he would be 5 minutes late. However, he was definitely not a guide. At every attraction, except the statues at the temple, he told us he would wait in the car while we explored by ourselves. This was particularly disappointing as we didn’t have the internet to read about what we were seeing either. Wet weather did affect us, but we still visited all sites, which was good. Lunch was good. Vehicle was clean & comfortable. Water was provided.

Didn’t see Chamarel Waterfalls even though it’s listed - The tour covered some beautiful spots to see and take photos. The tour guide was nice, however, the big downside was that we weren’t taken to see the Chamarel Waterfalls, even though it was listed as part of the tour. We were really looking forward to see that , so it was quite disappointing. Other than that, the day was enjoyable.
