Fab experience our driver was friendly, informative with lots of information and advice
She was prepared as well as for the sudden changes in weather
Tour was really good. However we all felt a little bit rushed at each location but that is down to itinerary and not the guide
Our driver did make sure we completed all our itinerary despite running a little bit later than the allotted time
The only part of the tour I would suggest be removed is the visit to the shop to see how ships are made/ souvenir shop
This would save time for the other activities

Annika and her son were wonderful tour guide guides! They showed me Mauritius and told methings that I wanted to learn about as a first time visitor to this wonderful tropical island. I highly recommend them..

Excellent driver/guide and tour. As we didn't want to visit the rum distillery and stop for lunch, our driver gave us the opportunity of visiting the Valle Adventure Park instead which was top notch and really made our day.

The experience was unmatched and exceeded our expectations. The booking was easy. pick up and drop off was smooth. Were picked at our hotel in grand bay. The drive took 1.5hrs give and take.
All the sight seeing experience was amazing. The 7 colored rocks, black river gorge, temples were beautiful.

We had a great trip with Tropical Taxi Mauritius, Chucky our driver collected us from our accommodation on time, we felt safe in the car with him & he was very friendly. We enjoyed all the stops on this tour but especially the waterfalls at Chamarel.

This trip mainly provides a driver to take you to the scenic spots in South Mauritius, a great alternative to costly ship excursion on a tour bus to the same places. Chucky our young driver was on time to meet us at 8:30am and was quite friendly and very chatty. There were 4 of us in his "Lexus" that was clean and comfortable with AC. It was Easter Sunday, so thankfully far less traffic on the roads. We hit all the spots on the itinerary with adequate time, except the rum distillery that was closed. He even made a short stop on side of road to pick and try some guava fruit. It was a warm sunny day, so the overlooks and waterfalls were beautiful, especially the Chamarel twin falls! And 7 Colorured Earth is so unique--don't skip the tortoises (fee to park US$16). Next was a late lunch at the small Flamboyant Chamarel restaurant for local foods served on banana leaf (meal US$15-20ea). Trip back was crazy for several km due to narrow 2-lane road at a super busy time that afternoon as a multitude of locals park on side of road to pick guava (only in month of April). We had to constantly weave around parked and oncoming cars and people everywhere--can't believe no one gets hit! Chucky was wiling to stop at the mall for us to make a quick stop in a grocery store, then we arrived back at the port by 4pm. He could have been more helpful at certain spots to say the destination is this or that way, or will take you X-minutes to get there. But he always let us know where he would be parked and allowed us to spend as much time as we wished. And the best benefit was being in car vs a tour bus, with a local driver who knows his way around. So it's a great value for all you get to see.

Great job! Clean car, cold bottle of water provided, good a/c and comfortable ride.
Aniket is very friendly, personable, able to share as much information as you want about the island and sites. He is flexible to your wishes and timeline as well.

Guide Mayurr took us to the most beautiful sights in the south of Mauritius. It was never boring. We wanted to have a German-speaking guide, which unfortunately was not available. So we communicated in English, which was not a problem in this case. I can only recommend this tour.

Excellent driver (sorry, I forgot his name 😅) but top-notch, very attentive, explains a lot during the journey. You can tell he loves to show off his country. I recommend it 100%
