Excellent tour to see many different places in Mauritius.

Shirley_M, Nov 2022
The tour of pamplemousse gardens with our guide Wendolene ( sorry if misspelt) was excellent the information and history was very interesting and we learnt a lot. The sugar museum was informative and thought provoking as it covered the history including forced labour/ slave trade. The views from the citadel were fabulous.The visit to Port Louis was a contrast between the hustle and bustle of the market and Caudan waterfront. I think we would have preferred to miss the market and have longer at Caudan. By the time we got to the aquarium ( which was worth seeing) we were ready to come home as it as a full on day. Our guide was excellent and informative throughout the day.

Historical Guided Day Tour: From Pamplemousses Botanical Garden to Port Louis

ShriniMenon, Nov 2019
It was a good tour with some spirited commentary by the guide through the day. The afternoon hours could have been extended to accommodate one more place of visit rather than leave guests at the last point of visit to spend 3 hours at. Port Louis market is for shopping and not all visitors go on guided tours for shopping!

This tour is well worth the money...

Willem_H, May 2017
This tour is well worth the money and we can highly recommend it. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out many interesting features and facts at all the venues. The tour is ideal for visitors who only have one day in the north as it includes a wide variety of venues, from Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens, the Sugar Museum and Port Louis.
