5.00We had a great time with our guide Javad. We were picked up from our hotel on time and as driving Javad was very informative about many things making our trip more interesting. He loves talking photos for you at all the various stops and is very creative with his photography đ he has a great sense of humour it was a pleasure to spend the day with him. I recommend this tour highly, especially when you have Javad as your driver đ Thank you

5.00Excellent tour from start to end, made so much better by our driver/guide Vikesh. His commentary was marvelous, covering the islands varied history, its traditions and customs. There was nothing he didn't know. Tour was done in a big Kia EV, with beautiful air conditioning. Vikesh was a credit to both the company and his country.

5.00We had a brilliant day tour with Raggoo! He had fountains of knowledge and answered every single question we had. We felt very safe on the drive and he was very happy to accommodate any requests we had. Throughout the day we saw many sights and even some wildlife as well! I would highly recommend Raggoo as a guide!
Wonder of nature

4.00Located in the extreme south-west of Mauritius, the lands of 7 colors are located in the Chamarel region. These are sands of seven different colors that give life to one of the most striking landscapes and one of the main attractions of Mauritius. It is an area of about 7500 m2 formed by sand dunes in which red, brown, purple, green, blue, purple and yellow intertwine. These different shades of color have arranged themselves naturally in different layers and create a surreal striped coloration. The colors red/anthracite and blue/violet are due to the two main chemical elements present in the soil, namely iron and aluminum. Unfortunately visited in one day with intermittent rain. Suggestive but now too touristy!

5.00This was the second time we have done this tour with Raggoo - the best driver in Mauritius and also the most knowledgeable and patient guide. Always went the extra mile showing us all the flora and fauna plus knowing all the history. There are some stunning scenes - lunch view is beyond amazing and we even stopped to get some lychees on the way back to the hotel !
Nice tour in fine weather.

4.00Wonderful tour if the weather had played along. Unfortunately it had been raining heavily all day long. The rainforest gave this trip its true name. Our German speaking guide told us a lot about the island and answered our questions in detail. She went to great lengths to keep our group happy as the weather was really extremely bad.
A most enlightening day

5.00Excellent experience with Mautourco and super guide Joel. We had an unforgettable day. JoĂŤl knew how to share and love Mauritian culture with good humor! He has an incredible knowledge of vast areas (flora, fauna, mythology, sociology) and this day will remain unforgettable for us. No hitch, only smiles and wonder. The joy of discovering Mauritius in good company, quite simply! If you are looking for serious, highly trained, competent and friendly guides, Mautourco is the place for you.
