Had Feroz as a tour guide. Very very good. Was waiting when we got off the cruise ship. Saw everything we wanted. Never hurried us. Told us a lot of information. Would not hesitate to recommend this company.

An excellent tour with the Palm Taxi Service. Our guide Feroz was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information about local culture and traditions. The vehicle was new and very comfortable.

Great tour

Lucie_D, Mar 2026

Good tour, we highly recommend. Our driver was very knowledgeable about the local area and took us to several different locations and was able to explain about it's history. We knocked one star off as really wanted to swim in some waterfalls but didn't get to.

It was a nice private...

David_G, May 2025

Wonderful day highly recommended

Sarah_B, Apr 2025

This was a wonderful trip and our driver was very knowledgeable. He offered us the flexibility of what we wanted to get out of the day and planned all sightseeing . The temple particularly was lovely and we stopped at a lovely restaurant for a traditional and reasonably priced meal. Highly recommend.

Definitely recommend it!!...

Joana_N, Mar 2025

Definitely recommend it!! Our driver and guide, Feroz, was amazing. Very knowledgeable, kind and patient. Everything went very smoothly and he took us to see breathtaking views of the Island.

I was kept informed by...

Janice_F, Feb 2025

I was kept informed by Whatsapp message where and what time to meet my driver. The driver (Bilal) was there ahead of our meeting time so we were able to leave earlier than expected. He kept our plan flexible as rain was expected later in the day, so we were able to see some of the viewpoints in the morning while the weather was still good. The road to the viewpoint was closed later in the day due to the rain. Bilal told me lots of information about the island & it's history and the areas we passed through and he pointed out places of interest. We stopped to take pictures as we went along. We had an hour and a half at La Vallee de Coleurs Nature Park so I was able to do my own thing and there was plenty of choice in things to do - walking, ziplining, quadbiking. Bilal was easy to talk to and encouraged me to ask questions. We went to a local restaurant for an amazing lunch. Bilal was prepared for the heavy rain as he had umbrellas in the car. The traffic was light as it was a public holiday so we had time to drive around Port Louis and he stopped so I could take pictures of the Hindu temple and other sights. We made it back to the port in plenty of time. Would definitely recommend the tour.

Cannot recommend this...

Lindsay_A, Dec 2024

Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and went at the perfect pace. We covered all of the major places to see and the experience was customized to my interests. Perfect day in Mauritius!

Fantastic Tour

Andy_E, Aug 2024

We had a fantastic time. Our tour guide was flexible about what we wanted to see and shared so much knowledge. The hotel pick up and drop off was a great bonus. Would definitely reccomend to all!

Fantastic

Susan_T, Jul 2024

Great driver great experience enjoyed the whole day Loved seeing the countryside and beautiful waterfalls

Tour was just OK; Nothing spectacular

Philip_M, May 2024

Our driver Billal was nice - however he had a touch of a cold. We did not go to the beach as advertised. We enjoyed the Hindu temple and statues. And the view of the West Coast from the viewpoint was superb - the weather cooperated.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hello thanks again to have use our service. I am sorry that the driver didn't take you to Gris Gris as said. I told the driver to ask you if you are interested to visit Blackriver Gorges viewpoint and Alexandra waterfall instead of Gris Gris beach. I assume that he didn't ask you but took you to the those 2 viewpoint instead of just the beach without asking. Sorry for this inconvenience. Also I think you forgot to mention that we were flexible to reschedule your trip a day beforehand and the extra places you visited. Regards, Ridwaan

Interesting and worthwhile private guide

Cathrine_H, Mar 2024

We enjoyed the whole experience. Balal our driver was very knowledgible and proud to show us and explain the culture and interesting sites of Mauritius and we would recommend his service including his suggestion for the restaurant we enjoyed our lunch at.

Good experience, but don’t accept going to the “rum tasting”

Nicolas_L, Jul 2025

The guide has been excellent and explained many things during the tour, not only related to the tour but also to the politics and history of the island. I give it 4 stars because it led us to a “rum tasting” that commented that it was free and neither was it tasting nor was it free, it was a full-fledged tourist. They only let us try a minimum sip of 2 types of rum and the manager put a lot of pressure on us to buy something (it was all quite expensive). We out of shame bought something and she was upset to see that it was not a good scam she had done. At the airport we found the same rum at half price, so that rum place is a scam and they should not take tourists there.
