Chucky the great tour guide - We booked a South tour and Chucky was our driver. A really kind and knowledgeable man. He made sure we were comfortable throughout our day with him. He even called a friend and got us a better deal for a dolphins and snorkeling trip. After how well he looked after us, we then booked him or the airport trip back. If you want any tour done in comfort and professionalism, book direct with Chucky. Better price and well looked after.

Amazing way to explore Mauritius - My wife and I had an amazing experience on the Mauritius South tour with Chucky. He was very easy-going and flexible, responsive, knowledgeable, and entertaining throughout our trip. We had an amazing day and would rate Chucky for anyone looking to explore Mauritius.

Great Combination of Scenic Views and Adventure Activities - Our driver picked us up at the Christian Decotter Cruise Terminal and took us on a tour of south of Mauritius. The tour was a good combination stops for scenic views of the volcanoes, mountains and shore along with a long stop to enjoy the activities at La Vallee des Couleurs Adventure Park. We chose the zip line tour and our travel companions chose to enjoy the park on foot. Aniket was a very capable and enthusiastic driver who shared his knowledge of the island and culture with us which made for an excellent day on a beautiful island.

If you need a bespoke tour book this guy ! - Brilliant day out with Chucky ! He was engaging, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We were able to create our own itinerary and take things at our own pace, and he recommended a super lunch place along the way. Don’t hesitate to book Chucky - highly recommended (and a great driver! ).

Tour is not as shown on the Itinerary - We did the North Taxi trip and also the South. The South was more of a disappointment. We did not go to all these places listed on the itenarary. We did go to La Vallee des Couleurs which is quite average and expensive. We went to some ship factory which was ok and then some small shop that had Rum and Cashmere for sale and the Shop people were really pushy trying to get us to buy things. We went to Alexander Waterfall which was nice but again that was not as per listed Itinerary (which says its Chamarel Waterfalls). We did not go to the Rhumerie de Chamarel either, so I feel like this isn't quite how its advertised. The photos you see here as well are literally from La Vallees de Couleurs. They have Zip lines and Quad bikes (just on a normal walking path is where you quad bike). The cost was approximately $650 Australian dollars for the 2 of us, and we managed to avoid that cost as you can actually enter the park and walk around it (it's about a 1 - 1.5 hour round trip so it's not even huge). I wouldn't recommend the South island Taxi tour, you are better off just hiring a car and doing your own trip (it's really easy to get around in Mauritius if you have a car).
