Great tour, driver and food - Our driver, Hughes, was the best! He provided us a lot of information about the island and the points of interest. He even took us to a few places not on the itinerary that were wonderful. The lunch was great, both the location and the food. We highly recommend this excursion and as for Hughes, you will not be disappointed.

South Island Tour - We booked this over TripAdvisor and weren't sure what to expect. The driver turned up in a car and gave us the guided tour of this trip. His name was VIJ, and he was magnificent. He talked about the history of the island and cultures. When we arrived at each destination, he came with us and made the trip that more interesting. Got lots of great photos. If you book this trip, ask for VIJ SEEC.

Once in a lifetime... Richard is the man! - If you want a guide for the history of Mauritius, all of its beauty in the south, expertise on industry and horticulture, as well some of the most stunning scenery you will see anywhere in the world then you should book this trip, and ask for Richard who truly made our tour. Our only regret was not having a picture with him for this review! He was fantastic from start to finish and his knowledge of the island was second to none! Thank you for such a wonderful tour!

Absolutely brilliant. - Sarah was brilliant and very free with advice on all trips. We chose the south trip and had Veejay as our driver for the day. He was so professional, friendly , knowledgeable and had a great way about him telling us about the history, geography, culture and religion of the country. He was an absolute credit to the company and his attitude made our trip memorable for all th right reasons. Probably the best guide we have ever had. No photos added. Tip ask your guide to be your photographer for the day. We did and have fantastic pictorial memories
