Tea and Vanilla trip

Kelvin_N, Feb 2026
Very good trip only downside is timing arrival at Tea plantation and vanilla/Rum tasting to coincide with tours in preferred language. For example arrived at Bois Cherie and told next English speaking tour in 2 hours. So not practical to wait.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thanks for your review. Its beyond our control the guide timing .

A taste of Mauritius.

Richard_H, Apr 2022
Definitely the tea and rum tasting. Highly recommended. Arun was a brilliant guide, gave plenty of information regarding Mauritius culture and history.

Amazing cultural day

Christian_v, Feb 2022
Very interesting, you can learn about the island’s history and its people. The driver was very nice and he gives you enough time to enjoy every place. I would ask next time to don’t stop at Vacoas, it’s not very interesting and I would rather stay longer in Grand Bassin or the tea factory.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for your sweet words, we will take into account your suggestion.
