Wonderful 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

Excellent experience with Mautourco and super guide Joel. We had an unforgettable day. Joël 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.

Although one of the most highlighted tourist attractions in Mauritius, the 7 coloured sands were a bit of a let down. As part of a whole day guided tour by car, this destination was not that impressive. The rest of the geopark was quite interesting.
Fantastic day out with the best tour guide!

This was an absolutely amazing day out, my wife and I were lucky enough to have Raggoo as our driver. He absolutely made the day fantastic, with immense knowledge of the islands culture and history it made it such an interesting and entertaining day. The sights were beautiful and the food was lovely! Very generous on the rum tasting as well which made things very fun! Highly recommend and thank you to Raggoo for such a wonderful day! Toby and Tyra

We were lucky enough to have Vikesh as our driver on two separate days for both our tours. He was courteous, knowledgable and an all round great tour guide. He was prompt in picking us up, drove perfectly and very polite. It was quite a distance from our hotel in the north to both our tours in the South but he kept us entertained with loads of local knowledge mixed in with some great jokes. Nothing was too much trouble and we throughly enjoyed going to all the different locations. He made the timetable work for us ensuring we always had the best tables in restaurants and was a great photographer! Our holiday was made so much better by getting to spend two days which a lovely gentleman and exploring the beautiful island. Thanks Vikesh, we cannot recommend you enough!
