Our guide Sailen was...

Veronika_P, Mar 2022
Our guide Sailen was really great - caring all the time, he showed us even more than we expected. We had many little stops during our way, where he showed us different trees and lots of natural beauty.

A very memorable experience.

I went on this tour yesterday with Christopher as my driver/guide and it was a very memorable experience. I was in touch with Carine to ensure the tour was confirmed and she was very quick to confirm. They were also able to include my requests to change the interbinary slightly and they did so without additional charge! Christopher was at my hotel almost 15min before time and I was pleasantly surprised. We went non-stop (at my instigation!) for almost 7-8HRs, visiting places, chatting about culture and world at large. He was very professional and engaging throughout the tour so that I felt a bit melancholy when the tour was done. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mauritius and looking to visit the South area for a good time. I know I definitely enjoyed the experience!

Marvellous Mauritius

Great outdoor experience

Our tour guide was Hans. He was very knowledgable, flexible and friendly. We learned a lot about the history and culture of Mauritius. Totally recommend this tour

Great tour with experienced guide

Iona_J, Jan 2020
Our tour guide Hans was very knowledgable and friendly. 10/10 on service from him. The overall tour was great, particularly the visit to Charamel. However, it would have been nice to have been asked whether we wanted to go shopping. The first three stops on the tour (rum tasting, tea tasting and textiles) were effectively duty free shops and there was a fair amount of pressure to make a purchase. Other than that, the tour was great!

Great trip!

Driver was punctual and very knowledgeable. Showed us all the sites and answered any questions we had. He also took us to some hidden gems which weren't on the itinerary! His name was Ibrahim and if you get him as your driver, you are in luck! We were also fortunate to be given a car seat for our little one!

Wunderschöne Tour mit eindrucksvoller Natur

Ralf_K, Dec 2023
Leider musste ich die gebuchte Tour alleine machen da mein Mann erkrankt war. Ich hatte erst etwas Bedenken, aber mein Fahrer und Guide Ibrahim hat sie mir sofort genommen. Er war ein sicherer Fahrer und hat sich sehr gut um mich gekümmert. Mein Wohl stand für ihn an erster Stelle. Zwischendurch hat es stark geregnet und obwohl er keinen Schirm hatte, hat er mich zu den Wasserfällen begleitet. Ich habe unglaublich viel über Land und Leute erfahren. Die Tour war sehr gut ausgewählt und wunderschön. Ibrahim hat den Tag für mich zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Vielen Dank dafür.

Tolle Landschaft - tolle Tour!
