Amazing views all around. Weather was just perfect. Gregoire is brilliant guide, picked me up at my hotel right on time. This is the tour you HAVE to do on Reunion. I will recommend this tour to everyone coming to Reunion. Thank you Gregoire, I had a really good time with you.
Beautiful!

Superb morning, with magnificent landscapes and especially Gregory's comments that allow to understand and even more appreciate his island. I recommend this excursion with my eyes closed... too bad it is too beautiful...

Exactly what I was looking for: a short excursion (3 hours), culturally rich with lots of exchanges with the driver Gregoire, and a beautiful landscape. I highly recommend

Without a doubt I strongly recommend a guide. Grégoire who was our guide is passionate and very kind. We really appreciated the pick-up from our hotel. When we arrived at the Maido site, he explained everything to us in detail. A superb experience. The site is splendid and we were amazed. Thank you Grégoire
Cancelled trip but excellent replacement.

It was very cloudy so in fact did not go up into the mountains on advice from driver. A great shame but we would have seen nothing, the heavy clouds remaining all day. Instead he recommended the western coast with many amazing types of beach with different lava flows and its erosion. There were waves crashing through arches and holes from which the water shot up into the air with rainbows. Mesmerising. Also beautiful beaches of various types. As a replacement it was terrific and the driver Gregoire was full of information and enthusiasm. We had a great trip. Perhaps we will get to see the Maido next time.
I only had a short stay...

I only had a short stay in La Réunion and this was the perfect way to spend the morning. Super nice guide who speaks English very well (hard to find on the island)
