“Making Magical Memories - Connecting with an exceptional tour guide adds the magic needed to change an ordinary experience to an extraordinary one. We spent two days with Ashif seeing both the north and south sides of Mauritius through the eyes of a guide who not only was knowledgeable about each of the venues we visited, but who was able to make each more memorable by elaborating when responding to our questions, adding personal insights, looking for opportunities for us to interact with locals, tailoring each stop to our personal needs and interests. Because of his enthusiasm and expertise, we fell in love with Mauritius and hope to expand on our experiences in the future!” - Reviewed at 2025-01-07
