They contacted us at the same time as the pickup, to say they had no driver and after 15 minutes of waiting they canceled the service

Me and my husband had a fantastic tour of the North of Mauritius with our tour guide VJ. He answered every question we had, tailored the tour to include more time in exploring Port Louis, navigating us around the markets and helping us find good vendors and prices. The lunch was fantastic, 3 courses of authentic Mauritian cuisine topped with a rum juice! Thank you to VJ for making our tour personalised and special, and catering to our needs.

We really enjoyed this trip seeing part of Mauritius and learning about the culture. Our driver was very flexible and helped us in planning our time. Lunch was very authentic although service was a little slow.

Luke picked us up promptly and was an absolute gentleman. He explained the day's program and made a slight alteration when we said that another tour had included one of the sites unexpectedly. He was knowledgeable and approachable throughout. A great guide. The tour itself was perfect. It ticked off our last few items on our wish list to see, and we had plenty of time at each place. The lunch was tasty and filling, allowing us to try flavours neither of us had had before. A must do, have a freshly made juice from the stand just outside the craft market in Port Louis, the dragonfruit mix was fantastic.

Excellent tour with super friendly and knowledgeable guide (Luc). He was flexible and did not rush me. We developed a great tour in the fly based on Luc’s recommendations and my interests. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Brilliant day touring Port Louis and the north of Mauritius.

From selecting, paying and getting collected was a very smooth experience, our driver Kannen arrived on time and was very professional with a good interesting knowledge of the island and it's history with some other interesting facts thrown in too. The trip took us to all the places we wanted to see and our guide Kannen also made sure to include anything else we wished to see that was onroute and stopped for photo opportunities where possible. This trip included lunch and Wow the restaurant we were taken too Tante Athalie Table De Hote was just amazing and if we ever returned to the usland would most definitely eat there again. Highly recommend this trip
