Driver arrived on time and communication was good . Car was very nice and fully air conditioned . We were taken to all the main sightseeing stops which were great. We were taken to a very nice restaurant for lunch which was reasonably priced and food good Spent about an hour at 7 coloured earth Never felt rushed by the driver Would thoroughly recommend

This was an excellent tour of the southern part of the island and exactly as described in the itinerary. We particularly enjoyed the 7-Coloured Earth venue and waterfall. Our driver, Wasiim, was very knowledgable and helped guide us throughout the day.

    It was a pleasant day...

    SANA_A, Jun 2026
    It was a pleasant day tour . Full of places to explore and admire in the south of the Island. I was so lucky with the fine weather as this day tour maybe affected by it . Anyway this day tour is a must if ever in Mauritius. The car was very clean and the guide driver answered all my inquiries plus he informing about all the places we stopped in . I thank him for this beautiful day spent on this beautiful island.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Thank you very much for your kindness and appreciations. It was a real pleasure to be in your company and make you discover our beautiful island Mauritius which is more than only the beautiful sea and sand.

    Taxi driver not a Guide

    DONNA_T, Jun 2026
    Having read a number of reviews I had hoped for some information from our guide and not just a taxi ride but he spoke very little English. Sadly it also rained all day so we didn’t stop long at each of the sights. It’s a good way to see the island but maybe even some printed information on each of the sights giving history etc would make it more enjoyable.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    As per the guide, he explained about the places visited and the history also and attended to your requests. Unfortunately we have no control on the weather. With regards to your suggestion to display printed information, we will certainly convey the message to the authorities concerned.

    Great 👍

    Aussies in Mauritius

    Arthur_M, May 2026
    Mauritius does not have anything noteworthy to see. We had a pleasant day with a lovely guide, but if we had done nothing& stayed on board our ship, we wouldn't have missed much. The required visit to a shop was a waste of time - overpriced & nothing we wanted. The volcano was overgrown, so 'nothing to see here'. The Hindi temple & statues were interesting. The Alexandra Falls were a waste of time, but the coastal view made up for that. The Canyon was interesting, but the coastal drive was the most pleasant park to the trip. Lunch was also Indian, so we only got to see one side of the cultural mix. Missed out on the bost museum (supposedly it wasn't open), though our friends visited & brought back photos.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    We respect your opinion but we also note that even though you said Mauritius has got nothing noteworthy, you have still liked the hindi temples, the canyon and also the coastal drive. We have many other things to do here in Mauritius but maybe you need more time and book more tours to discover the beauty of our island and also in just 1 day it is impossible to do all the things. We have more sightseeings, water activities, outer islands tour, inland activities, but maybe if expectations are so very very high then it is quite impossible for us to fulfill them all.

    Unfortunately it rained...

    Edit_M, May 2026
    Unfortunately it rained 75% of the time on the excursion and although we understand the driver cant control the weather we missed key stops on our tour (didnt even have an umbrella ) so we agreed we with the driver we would get to see the next day, and then go on to see the other side north side of island. (of course paying for the tour of the other side of island) Unfortunately when we called in the morning to confirm everyone from company including our driver from previous day were busy and no one contacted us first to confirm what we had agreed the day before. so we were very disappointed that they did not keep their agreement . I think these tours must be canceled when the forecast is rain all day, because it is not fair to pay for a tour where we cant see the majority of the stops on tour. Although we thought we had a nice rapport with the driver it turned out to be very disappointing

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Hello, we have to point out that it is you who decided not to do any tour because you said, i quote "my husband has a lingering cold and decided with the weather it was best he stayed in today".

    Wonderful tour of the sites of Southern Mauritius.

    See Mauritius' south

    Linda_S, May 2026
    Was ideal way to see the South part of Mauritius without having a bus tour. This allowed us to see everything we wanted and to control the time spent at each stop. The Seven Colored Earth was the highlight for us.

    Excellent, personalised tour. Our driver Fardeen was great - really helpful, good natured, and full of knowledge about Mauritius. It was just the three of us, and it meant we could do things at our own pace, and didn't feel rushed. This was a really good way to see the south of Mauritius - would 100% recommend.

    Hang_C, May 2026
    Flexible enough to swap some destinations around, cancel places we're not interested in for more interestings ones along the way. The driver was kind and informative about his perspective on local culture and arrived on-time to meeting times. The only thought we had was we weren't informed of the directions to the pretty parts of the Grand Bassin complex, which would've been on the other side of the lake from the parking lot which the driver left us at, resutling in quite a walk to find spots where popular online photos showed we should've seen in terms of scenery and culture.

    A wonderful day in Mauritius

    Joan_S, May 2026
    Driver picked us up at the Cruise terminal right on time in a very roomy/comfortable mini van and took us around the island to all of the seven (7) sights we wanted to see. He then dropped off one party at the hotel and second party at the airport in more than enough time for departure. He was helpful, kind and very informative and we learned a lot about Mauritius. Beautiful place to visit with a driver who knew the history of the island plus any and all facts we asked about. We were not rushed and were able to take our time at each and every stop. It was such a pleasure.

    LINDA_G, Apr 2026
    Our guide Kevin was good and helpful. and the vehicle was comfortable and clean. Option was given half way through the day to have lunch at a restaurant, good food and quick serves. The Grand Bassin and the Hindu Temple as well as the Chamarel 7 colour earth was the highlights of the tour. Prepare for a long day. Lots of driving.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Even all the services we offered it is quite surprising that you did not like the tour just because it was long. It is to be noted that the itinerary is well published with all the time allotted well before booking. You could also skip places or reduce the time allotted, this is your choice, we cannot yake this decision for you. We will follow the itineraries that we have published unless decided otherwise by the traveller.

    Great tour

    Rodney_L, Apr 2026
    It was an easy and informative tour of south Mauritius. Kevin was a wonderful driver and made it a great trip without rushing us anywhere. Look forward to returning here one day.

    Disappointing experience...

    PATRICK_F, Apr 2026
    Disappointing experience for both the guide and the time. Wassim is more Taxi than guide, lack of experience: big rain and not even an umbrella in the car. We are disappointed with the day.

    Taxi transport, by no means a guided tour.

    CHRISTOPHE_M, Jan 2026
    We thought we would take a guided tour, we have a very friendly taxi driver, but it was not a guide. you should clarify that this service only concerns transport to the different sites.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    On vous a bien guidé sur tous les sites et notre chauffeur a mem pris des photos de vous sur differents sites visités. Vous avez mem offert le dejeuner a notre chauffeur au restaurant. Ce n'est comprehensible lorsque vous dites que vous n'avez pas été guidé. D'ailleurs on fait le guide pour tous nos clients, vous pouvez consultez tous les autres revues qui confirment notre services de guide plus le transport.

    Super tour guide

    We had a great tour with Nawaz. He is very friendly and drives safely. Nawaz showed us all the sights of the southwest of the island. We would recommend it to others.
