A+ - Our driver was a very polite and helpful local....he couldnt do enough for us on the day. We attended every attraction that was mentioned when booked and had a wonderful time. Each attraction met our expectations - we could have spent another 15/30 minutes at the museum as it was very informative but thats because we love museums. Lunch was a lovely meal at a local bar and we had a choice of anything off the menu. The market was quite small but well worth a look ....Would highly recommend

Tea and Rum in Mauritius! - It was a perfect day. We went to the Bois Cheri first, and we had a relaxing time tasting the tea on the beautiful mansion while looking over the tea plantation. The second stop was at the rum factory, where we had a wild time tasting the products. We were dancing and tasting, dancing and tasting, and more dancing and tasting. The rest of the day went very fast; we didn't feel the driving boring at all because our guide, Manu, was fun and social. He explained the landmarks, the local customs, and even taught us about Sega music at our request. In short, we had a great time!
