Top Mauritius Private Sightseeing Tours - page 13

A perfect itenary conducted by equally perfect tour operator- Sam tours ((turquoise voyages) and guide Vikash. They made sure that I enjoy each and every place and capture all my special moments. Vikash shared all the information about the country, it's history and significance of all the places we visited. No rush and for every pit stop we had ample time to discover the place at ease. The lunch was very nice and provided a taste of creole food and culture, which all Mauritians are proud of. As a solo traveller I felt safe and looked after by everyone which we don't normally see in many countries, India included. Thanks again to Vikash and Sahil for the tour and all the support provided by them.

Our trip to Tamarind Falls was absolutely fantastic and definitely one of the highlights of our vacation in Mauritius! Our guide was outstanding. From the very beginning, he created a wonderful atmosphere and showed great patience throughout the entire hike. He even treated us to fresh exotic fruits and delicious local food, which added such an authentic and special touch to the experience. One of the best parts was that he took photos of us constantly at all the best spots! It allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in the breathtaking nature without worrying about our phones, and we ended up with amazing memories captured on camera. Summary: We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mauritius. Don't miss out on this incredible hike!

Great tour with Christopher. A mix of food, history and culture as you can’t understand one without the others. Prepare for lots of food over the 3 hours so don’t eat much breakfast!! Christopher also gave us some good recommendations for other places to eat during the rest of our stay here. Ideal to do in the first couple of days of your stay to make the most of what you learn.

A full day with lots of experiences. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the area. The included lunch was delicious with choices. The coloured earth looked more colourful on the picture on the internet than in real life but this did not detract from the overall tour. The visit to the tea and rum tours were very good. Plenty of tea to try with no hard sell. Don’t get too drunk tasting the many varieties of rum!!!

Excellent experience. Great communication with operator prior to meeting date and driver was waiting for us outside baggage claim area. Driver was very courteous, friendly and helpful and helped with our bags. Drove us safely to our hotel and helped with bags on arrival at the hotel. Would definitely recommend and will use again if we return to this area.

The quad biking tour was just awesome and we loved it. Our guide Alex was very calm and patient and explained the basics of quad biking quickly and efficiently. He kept checking on us during the tour and knew when to go fast and when to slow down. The tour was designed really well with ample time to take photos, enjoy plenty of riding time on the quad bikes on many different terrains and explore the sugar cane fields, forests and beaches. We stopped to take photos at each of the points and it was very relaxed and not rushed at all. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it.

This hike was tough! Thankfully I wore the proper clothes and shoes! Yes, proper shoes are super important! Mat (Mathieu) our guide had to hurry us up a little because rain was coming. Our little group bonded pretty good because we all shared this mission. Unfortunately my wife, who has bad knees and takes heart medication, wasn’t able to get to the top, which the rest of us made it in 2 hours. Since it had been raining, some parts of the path got muddy and slippery. Did I mention that having proper hiking/trail-running shoes is super important? I saw people wearing loafers or fashion sneakers and they were having a tough time. A little more than halfway up, the trail gets really steep and vertical and you’re literally climbing rocks and looking for small ledges to get a hand and/or foothold. Once you get to the cross though, and if it’s sunny, you get an amazing view! You can even see the underwater waterfalls. We only stayed about 15-20 minutes because rain was coming. Our guide Mat kept a close watch on it. As we headed down, rain and clouds were upon us and we rushed down as quickly and safely as we could. Surprisingly, going down was easier than going up. Mat was great in that he made sure we were all safe and we used the proper steps and footholds. We made it down from the top in about an hour. Overall, the hike was really tough and a little scary if you’re afraid of heights, but the reward (the view) was well worth it. I’d highly suggest getting a local guide. And again, I can’t stress how important having good hiking/trail-running shoes is! Mat is great! We had some laughs and good conversation while hiking. His English is very good and he’s very knowledgeable. Highly recommend him!

We had an amazing time with our tour guide Mangesh. Mangesh took us to explore the south and gave us the time we wanted in each location. The weather was slightly cloudy at the beginning however after a while we began to see some sun! Our favourite parts of the day were visiting the Valle park and also the Gorge Viewpoint. Mangesh collected us earlier from our hotel, to ensure that we arrived to the attractions whilst they were not busy, and they were far from busy which improved our overall experience! Thank you so much Mangesh, we would highly recommend this to other tourists!
