alan_b, Mar 2025
We would have needed a guide for the gardens, not easy to navigate, lots of walking, hot and humid again, but over all the guide was there for us, although he could use a refresher course on how to be a guide as opposed to being a taxi driver! His English needed some work, but his French was fine when I could understand him, over all fine!

Great Tour & Transport to Resort!

It takes in some excellent parts of the island. Our guide, Raj, was absolutely outstanding. His depth of knowledge was really good. I thoroughly recommend this trip

Desmond_M, Dec 2024
I was a solo traveller and booked this tour expecting more personalised attention. The guide and driver Mike did not accompany me at any of the stops. He simply dropped me off and said I'll pick you up later. I expected more of a guide for the price.

Excellent excursion to North Mauritius.

William_D, Dec 2024
The guide -driver, Robin was excellent and very accommodating. He even took us to a supermarket to buy a special tea. Excellent excursion to see the sites of the north.

Whistlestop but hits the highlights

natdorrington, Nov 2024
This tour was a bit whistlestop…it would have been good if some more time was spent in Port Louis to explore the market and marina area.

Amazing, informative, fun

Dominique_L, Oct 2024
Our guide Raj was amazing. Super friendly and informative. Very patient. Definitely worth the money and will book again if visiting the island. I recommend!!

Great day touring round .

Joanne_W, Oct 2024
Nishal our driver was really nice, informative and listened to what we wanted to make our day a brilliant tour of the north side of Mauritius. He was early but waited till we were ready , waited patiently at each stop , added suggestions to enhance our day. Nothing was too much trouble couldn’t ask for anything more .

North tour

Cynthia_M, Sep 2024
A very beautiful tour we had, started with the market and did some shopping, visited the Temple, the red church and sealed our tour with the visit to the botanical gardens wow it was amazing and our driver was so friendly and warm even got us some sugar canes to eat

Great Day!

pamelabrokate, Sep 2024
Our wonderful driver Ravi picked us up at our hotel promptly and sightseeing and enjoying the beauty. the island. Shopping in Port Louis the outdoor harbor mall is a definite must! Ravin was so friendly and knowledgeable.!Don’t miss the outdoor huge fruit and veggie market….so much fun . We changed several things on the itinerary and it was no problem at all. Enjoy!

Excellent tour!

Simiso_K, Aug 2024
He was very informative and knew the important location that a tourist would want to see.His time and accordance of time was excellent.Would highly recommend him for anyone travelling to see Mauritius 🇲🇺

Great trip

Alka_F, Aug 2024
Bansy, our driver and guide made the trip. Walk through the market, learning history of Mauritius, Botanical garden and visit to church, well spent day,

An enjoyable day

Brian_H, Jul 2024
This was an enjoyable day with a variety of things to see, and made very good by the attitude of my excellent guide/driver called Ravine, who drove me for the second day in a row. The restaurant I was taken for a meal (not included) was quite good but rather expensive (not as good as the meal on the southwest tour).. If you have the time available, I would recommend taking both the northern and southwestern tours. However, if your time is limited and you can only manage one of the tours, then I'd suggest opting for the southwest tour.

Great tour!

Nida_A, Jun 2024
Solo traveler here. Had a great time with Nitesh. He was so knowledgeable about Mauritius’ culture and history and answered all of my questions. He was very patient and kind. Great tour and learned/saw many things!

Day trip around Port Louis, Mauritius

Linda_P, Jun 2024
We have Raj a list of the places we wanted to see and he made it happen. He was very knowledgeable and informative

North Private tour

balungile_s, Jun 2024
Raj was amazing, learnt a lot about Mauritius. He was so kind and gentle, well spoken with more love to give. He was going an extra mile to make sure we are well taken care off.

Just great!

Dian_B, May 2024
This tour exceeded our expectations. A great day was enjoyed with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We unreservedly highly recommend this tour!

Edward_M, May 2024
Great private tour of the island. Guide couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful. Even let us stop at a decathlon on the way back.

A full on and interesting day in Port Louis

Julie_A, May 2024
We all thought this day tour was excellent value for money. Our driver Mike, navigated Port Louis traffic so brilliantly - took us everywhere, gave us time to explore and returned to collect us exactly when and where he had promised. Swimming at the most gorgeous beach was an unexpected surprise after such a busy day. Nothing felt rushed and we covered a lot of ground - walking downtown, climbing the citadel and through the lush botanical gardens. A really good mix of activities and a great day out. Highly recommended.

Fantastic scenery and culture

Chris_A, Apr 2024
What a fantastic day to the northern part of the island. Our driver Robin was so freindly and informative and went out his way to answer questions and had such a passion for the island. Would recommend the trip.

Very well organised tour

Marat_P, Feb 2024
Very well organised tour. Super friendly and knowledgeable guide with nice car. Enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it to others!

Interesting but not as much to see as in the south west tours.

Duncan_M, Jan 2024
Very good tour guide and driver who was friendly and knowledgable. Highlights were the museum in Port Louis and Grand Baie in the north of the island.

Amazing tour!

AnaIsabel_A, Dec 2023
The perfect tour to explore the best spots of the North side of the island. Highly recommended. I spent a wonderful time with the best tour guide and driver, Rajen. Thank you for the great day.

Relaxed tour of the north of Mauritius

Lud_T, Dec 2023
A great day out which was not too hectic or stressful as we were able to spend as long or short a time as we wanted to. Lots of shops at the Waterfront were closed as it was a Sunday so probably better to do the tour on other days. However we enjoyed the shopping experience. The fort was also closed but a great location to take photos from at the top of a hill. Enjoyed the walk at the botanical gardens a lot, and recommend the guides.

An interesting and informative day.

Ron_B, Oct 2023
The Caudan Waterfront and the tour of Fort Adelaide were really interesting and also the Botanical Gardens.

Not worth the money

p8tjvpkkpj, Oct 2023
35 minutes late however claimed they had messaged me to tell me but they hadn’t. Had to complain to Viator to see where the driver was. During the tour, the driver did not speak to us. We didn’t know where we were going half the time. Didn’t take us for any lunch but managed to grab some chips while we stopped at a beach for ten minutes.

Thank you

Julia_L, Sep 2023
Thank you to the tour guide for helping us stop to buy food even if it wasn’t part of the package. Appreciated.

Full day tour

Latishia_M, Aug 2023
Our full day tour of the North with Robin was exceptional. Robin was knowledgeable and accommodating in making our trip exactly what we wanted. Overall a worthwhile experience with a great guide

Awesome!

Jacques_B, Aug 2023
