Our guide was on time with a large, very clean car at the hotel. He brought our wishes together in a tour that not only allowed us to do everything we wanted, but also saw a lot more. He was very friendly and informative about the island. He even came to the supermarket as an adviser and guided us to products from Mauritius.

Superbly organised trip from start to finish! The driver changed the itinerary to accommodate visiting the rumerie on our request… The tea experience was a nice bonus. I sometimes get a bit car sick but our driver took utmost care in providing a smooth ride… Wholeheartedly recommend!

Ibrahim was a very nice driver, he talked us about Mauritius' history a lot. We have seen a lot of what there is to seen about Mauritius. Very nice tour! Well recommended!

I was a nice trip, we have worse weather at this day, but we enjoyed it. Our guide Deepak is deserves praise.

Driver was amazing and knew everything about his country
