Visitors will leave with a deeper appreciation for the island and its people, and have the opportunity to taste various types of sugar and delightful local rums.
- Chateau De Labourdonnais - Explore the Château de Labourdonnais, a stunningly restored colonial mansion from 1859, and wander through its captivating tropical garden. The tour includes a visit to the château, a stroll through the orchard and bird garden, a view of the giant tortoises, a guided tour of the estate’s rum distillery, and complimentary rum tasting at the bar. Note: Bring mosquito repellent. Due to the age and value of certain items inside the house, flash photography is prohibited as it may cause damage.
- Port Louis - No tour of the North is complete without visiting Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius. The city offers a mix of old and new. On one side, experience the vibrant atmosphere of the historical market (bazaar), established in 1828, where you can haggle for spices and souvenirs and enjoy Mauritian street food. On the other side, the modern Caudan Waterfront invites visitors to shop at brand-name stores and dine at various restaurants. Explore areas of interest in Port Louis, such as the Aapravasi Ghat (a UNESCO heritage site) and the charming smaller streets. For breathtaking views, your driver will stop at the Citadel, and you will also pass by the Champs de Mars racecourse.

Explore at your own leisure - This is a great way to do this tour. The transport was a 14 Seater which had a great air conditioning system and was really clean and neat. The driver was superb and left us on our own at the various venues, which was great as we could explore at leisure. The driver was polite and professional, and when we got to the market, he made sure to walk us to the right places so we did not get lost. All in all, this is definitely worth the money you pay, and it was great to see all these special places in one tour.

Lovely excursion with San - My wife and I had a lovely trip with our driver San. He was very informative, accommodating to our requests and funny. His car was very comfortable (both my wife and I are over 6 foot and had good space). He is also an excellent driver, able to cope well with some adverse weather conditions. We would recommend San for anyone wanting to explore the North of Mauritius.

Lovely day. Would want nice weather. Lots of great tastings - It was a great day. Driver was lovely very chatty and gave lots of info as we drove around. The rum tasting was nice as you get to try five different ones all very nice and even some jams which were really good. The château was beautiful. The garden was huge and had plenty of time to explore all of it. There’s even deers and tortoises you can see in pens which was awesome. The sugar mill was very interesting and had lots of information and you also get a sugar tasting which for someone was has a big sweet tooth was a very nice ending. There’s lots of different sugars and all fantastic. There’s another rum tasting there but unfortunately we didn’t get to that as there was a big group there and we decided we didn’t want to stand around waiting for them to be finished. The car was very comfortable as well as it individual back seats you could recline as well as back seat A/C. Got to see some great views over looking Port Louis and visit the shopping centre. Overall lovely day.

Not recommended - It's just a taxi ride. This has nothing to do with travel guide. You should inform yourself beforehand about every possible sight. Despite the booked trip, the driver tried to change the tour again and again and wanted to lead us to some shops, tea houses or rum shops.
