5.00Jean "Dodo Huggies" Hughes took us around many interesting sites and added vital local knowledge to enhance a Mauritanian experience. He was flexible, thoughtful, safe and experienced driver who gave us insight to Mauritius & it's vast history. His chirpy demeanor, politeness & presence made it easy to relax and enjoy many of the tour highlights. He was happy to oblige taking pictures and showing in detail parts of the tours that others could easily miss. Thank you also to Sarah for her help in the schedule change to our 2nd tour, our two days so far have been perfect. Can't recommend CB enough. ❤️ Camilla & Derek

5.00We booked the trip via our hotel rep Yuvrin who looked after us during our stay. We were picked up in a spotless air conditioned car - first tick! Our driver was friendly and informative as we travelled around, explaining things we saw. We visited a Hindu monument, the tea factory, tea tasting experience, vanilla plantation, rum distillery with rum tasting, a colonial house and also lunch included. Really well organised and a locely day out. We loke to learn about local history and culture when we visit a new place and this day had plenty. Definitely recommend both this company and also this day out.
Excellent service!

5.00I keep an excellent memory of the welcome at Port Louis airport in Mauritius of Coquille Bonheur! On arrival on December 22, 2024, it was Luc who accompanied me to the port to take the boat Dumont d'Urvil. Then on January 4, 2025, it was Didier and a charming companion who made us the very interesting visit of the excursion "Perfumes of Mauritius". On January 5, I was accompanied to the airport by a very professional young man who took care of my check-in to fly. I recommend you Shell Happiness!

5.00It’s really top, I hesitated to take the excursions with them as the prices were less attractive than the competition, but no regrets car top (given the state of the roads it’s not a detail), Bernard has been super cool since our transfer from the airport to the two excursions we have with him. Yuvrin advised us well and always available. I strongly advise you.
A must do

5.00We had Airport transfers and three day trips with this company. They went above and beyond anything we expected. Sending a rep to our hotel on our first day to make sure all arrangements went smoothly. The WhatsApp us the evening prior the trip with a time and driver name. The two drivers we had were Hughes and Bernard, who had extensive knowledge of Mauritius, nothing was too much trouble. The vehicles were comfortable and air conditioned. On arrival back at Mauritius airport there was a rep waiting with a trolley who escorted us to the bag drop and was prepared to stay with us until security. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone travelling to Mauritius
