Commonplace, incomplete visit, lunch canteen and a Viator provider to avoid
Caroline O,Dec 27, 2025

1.00I will not speak of the excursion itself which we found banal. However, I really do not recommend viator. Some of the activity is missing and it is not our doing and you have a lunch worthy of the worst school canteen. So you pay 23,000 rupees or 399 euros for a lunch whose budget by the provider is limited to 800 rupees per person (not even 15 euros). Even the restaurateur we talked to was shocked. You do not make part of the excursion because the driver prefers to go home, (I specify that we are on time) rather than finish the excursion. Be careful, these elements are not convincing for Viator. I think it would take a cyclone to get any compensation, and I still doubt it given their commercial department. However, I highly recommend Get your guide. Any problem, they're over-responsive. For our part, we boycott Viator ad vitam eternam. You are warned, it is up to you to see
Great experience

5.00Anuj was a great guide. Explained all well even during the trip to the south. Also explained some more local items. So you learn more about the country and the people. He even was so kind to stop on the way to try real local street food.
Extremely bad experience for 120€+/ person

1.00Extremely bad experience for a telephone reservation by Viator on May 11 for 5 people (private tour). A full day of irritation. We had booked a minivan for more comfort and a car picked us up. No way to change. We had booked a circuit that could be modified at our convenience in private tour. The driver and the agency repeatedly refused to make any minor changes to the itinerary. We had to repeat many times that we did not want to visit a rum and a plantation of the. . We traveled with Viator and local agencies in many countries with pleasure. This is our first disappointment related to this local agency in Mauritius. Our next excursions to the island are planned with other professionals.
Great tour, driver, guide

4.00We started well with good advanced communication from our driver/guide Agi. He was on time at pick up. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. We saw lots of things we would otherwise not have seen. We didn’t stay too long in any one place which for us was good. This was a private tour for just my wife and myself.
very nice parks to visit
