High recommended - I enjoyed the tour with Shrish, who was an excellent and informative guide. He was an excellent driver and also had a lot of information. He is very patient, very knowledgeable and is flexible. For example, I asked him about visiting Aparvasi Ghat which was not in the list of places to visit. He was happy to tweak it. Instead of visiting a market we visited the ghat which I wanted.
I learned so much from him about the Mauritian culture, about unity in diversity, history, important people who made a difference in Mauritian history, the education system and the country in general.
The tour guide also stood out for me as he gave advice to me on the South tours and health precautions I should take. I would give him lots of bonus points for that. I tried other tours from other companies and I can safely say that Shrish stood out for me. My other guide from a different company in Mauritius was the opposite and took any health risks lightly and gave me very wrong advice. This other company guide always tricked me to commercial places despite my insistence that I hate shopping. I understand that the commission is important for their livelihoods but I felt very annoyed with that company. Based on my experience of 4 trips in the country, I recommend Shrish highly.
I was too tired and dozed off on the way while he was amazing! I felt annoyed as I missed an opportunity to learn from him more. My late night work and hectic schedule before arriving in Mauritius caught me (lol).

Interesting day - Our driver and guide, Nishal, was excellent. He was a careful driver and planned our itinerary thoughtfully around the changeable weather. He gave us lots of information about Mauritius. We particularly enjoyed L’Aventure du Sucre and the Botanical Gardens.

Day trip to the North - It was good to see a different part of Mauritius and the trip was varied. We liked that he left us at each location and we agreed a time to meet so we could look around at our own pace. He explained about each place and gave us useful tips.Car was clean, comfortable and he was a calm driver.

I’d highly recommend the... - I’d highly recommend the tour. Another great tour, to get to see the north of the island. Plenty of interesting places, particularly the botanical gardens. If you go, I’d highly suggest getting a guide for the gardens. Less than £2 and very informative.

Excellent - I took a solo tour with this company and had a terrific day out. The driver, Noorani, arrived ahead of schedule and was polite, informative and helpful throughout. As there was only me on the tour, he tailored it to my needs, and he found me the best thali lunch I've had on the island. Highly recommended.
