Great tour of the north - We did a tour of the north side of the island with this company, having done a tour of the south side of the island the day before. The north side of the island is totally different than the south side, so I recommend doing both. Our driver was great (Nitesh), and really knowledgeable. I loved all the sites we were shown, especially the botanical garden. A tour like this is good because you can learn about the local culture. The one thing I would suggest though is to take food, or grab something to go to eat during the tour because lunch is unfortunately not included like it was with the southern tour. Great company to deal with.

North Private tour - Raj was amazing, learnt a lot about Mauritius. He was so kind and gentle, well spoken with more love to give. He was going an extra mile to make sure we are well taken care off.

An enjoyable day - This was an enjoyable day with a variety of things to see, and made very good by the attitude of my excellent guide/driver called Ravine, who drove me for the second day in a row. The restaurant I was taken for a meal (not included) was quite good but rather expensive (not as good as the meal on the southwest tour)..
If you have the time available, I would recommend taking both the northern and southwestern tours. However, if your time is limited and you can only manage one of the tours, then I'd suggest opting for the southwest tour.

Interesting tour - Markets (souvenirs and vegetables) quite nice with the hustle and bustle of the rain and the shopping center is also recommended. Had a driver

A full on and interesting day in Port Louis - We all thought this day tour was excellent value for money. Our driver Mike, navigated Port Louis traffic so brilliantly - took us everywhere, gave us time to explore and returned to collect us exactly when and where he had promised. Swimming at the most gorgeous beach was an unexpected surprise after such a busy day. Nothing felt rushed and we covered a lot of ground - walking downtown, climbing the citadel and through the lush botanical gardens. A really good mix of activities and a great day out. Highly recommended.
