Great family day out - This was a great family day out. Our guide Lionel brought the waterfront to life and was very engaging with the kids. We got the learn and experience so much more with a local host. Can’t recommend this enough.

Perfect tour to explore Mauritian food and culture - This tour is a must-do if you want to immerse into the Mauritian culinary world and culture. Adrien not only introduced us to some very tasty dishes and snacks that we would not have encountered by just going to Mauritian restaurants but was also very knowledgable of Mauritius and particularly Mahebourg's history. It was a very interesting and also fun experience with a very friendly guide.

The food just kept flowing no half measures here honestly have a small breakfast you will be so full. The added bonus was the motorboat ride to the remote second retreat. A fabulous day with lovely humerus knowledgeable guides.

Tasty tour with a nice guide - Very interesting and tasty tour in Mahebourg with a small group (6 people). This was a good mix between history, town tour and typical food. We went to 5 places, all quite different from one another, and tasted both small snack and meals. The guide was really friendly and attentive to all the guests.

Laughs and food in abundance - A great tour with a friendly setup. Dada ensured we had a great balance of history and Mauritian knowledge, as well as a lot of lovely food (I agree with another reviewer that said don’t eat breakfast!). A lovely way to see Mahebourg and a few spots we would never have come across without the tour. Thank you!

Authentic street food experience you don’t want to miss! - Excellent experience of local Mauritius cuisine in the traditinal and historical settings in Mahebourg! Conducted by Dada and Adrien in an energetic houmoristic way, we were taken through a variety of food and tried dishes we would otherwise have missed. So with this tour you can safely leave tour comfortable resort for a half-day tour for great experiences. Highly recommended!

A must have experience! - Not just for tourists, leave the hustle and bustle of the North of the island and explore the beautiful village of Mahebourg.
Adrien and Dada are such knowledgeable guides and the boat trip is a special treat. The food is delicious and some ingredients I hadn't tasted before.
My favourite trip so far!

China Town & Port-Louis Mix Food Tour - Informative and tasty street food tour with 2 nice guides (Adrien, Dada), typical asian food (i.a. stir fried noodles, peking duck, bao burger, sesame balls), short visit of a local market
all in all it is worthwhile, however, it would be interesting to taste some less familiar chinese dishes
