We had a fantastic day out with our guide. He tailored the trip to make sure we would make the most of good weather while visiting the natural sites, then concluding the tour visiting the Chamarel Rumerie. I would very, very much recommend this tour. We loved it!

Fantastic experience from start to finish, treated like royalty, but also as a friend. Both our guide and driver shared their home of Mauritius with us, also introduced us to local food and culture. And then shared their lunch with us, and we can only thank them both for a fantastic day and the enhancement to our holiday in Mauritius. And would highly recommend this company to organise anyone’s trips whilst in Mauritius. Thank you from Julie and John Bedford UK.
