Worst experience

1.00I have used Viator multiple times in different countries and have always had great experiences. This tour was the worst experience I’ve ever had. The “guide” who I had to ask to make sure he was the guide blatantly told me that this tour that I booked was not a guided tour and that he was “just a driver”. I’m a history buff and love learning about different countries and their history/culture/unique geography. I learned NOTHING with this tour. I am extremely disappointed and discouraged from booking other tours with Viator because I’m afraid it’ll be another disappointing experience. I had so much planned for this trip and planned to use Viator for so many other tours. If you’re booking this trip, you’re better off getting a taxi and visiting the different sites on your own because it’ll be the same.
Very friendly guide with...

4.00A good way to take in the flavours of Mauritius and to see a beautiful part of the island. Our guide, Swadesh, went out of his way to make it a special day.

2.00A rocky start with taxi driver asked to do the waterfall first as rain was due but did not allow this. The former volcano is not worth a visit unless local as is little more than a park with a view. Our driver gave no info for each stop we was not aware how to get access to the lake so we didn't see this properly , got complete soaked at the waterfall and couldn't see anything taxi driver did not hide the fact he was annoyed at us bringing wet clothes in his car. Lunch stop he just pointed and we walked in before our driver was offered the full menu as place was unaware we had booked via a deal. Was not told name of resteraunt either. Then onto the coloured sands which was worth a visit even if it looked better in the photos. Finished the trip two hours sooner then planned partly as we had enough with the uncomfortable taxi driver and partly because no information given by driver on each stop. Local taxi firms offering this tour at about £70 without admission or lunch which works out a lot cheaper them the £99 each we paid even though it included lunch and admission. Lunch was nice but couldn't tell you the name of place. Disappointed but on a plus side we found a decent taxi firm and revisited the waterfall on a dry day along with ebony forest.

4.00A lot of hotspots within a trip including excellent local lunch. Overwhelming viewing points, very beautiful Hindu temple complex with many background explanations by our nice guide Nawin. The small, not mentioned "shopping trip" at the beginning of the day did not diminish the overall package 😉. 100%your recommendation
