Amazing trip with perfect guide - The tour was amazing. Our guide Kevin went beyond for everything to secure that we have the best experience possible. Every stop was well planned and the time we spent at each attraction was in the perfect amount of time. I really recommend this tour.

Hritik did a great job - Got to see so much and Hritik adapted the day to suit our preferences. We could take as much time as we needed at each stop, which was lovely and relaxing. He presented himself very well and his car was immaculate. FYI for other cruise passengers. Our trip started an hour late. The guide needs to get a pass to enter the port and this is only available on the tour day. It can take a 45min to 1 hour for the guide to receive it from the port authorities. We were left standing in the sun not being aware of why & how long we would be waiting. Fortunately, our ship was docked overnight so we still got to experience the full tour.

Good and Bad - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Our driver and guide was called Sameer. He was excellent, informative and helpful. Unfortunately, his boss was less helpful. Our trip was on a Sunday. It turned out that the Rhumerie is closed on a Sunday. This did not bother us, but it may well concern others. Although we booked the experience on 24th September, it was not until after 10 pm on the night before the trip which was on 14th December that Sameer's boss informed us that the Rhumerie was closed.

Excellent tour and guide - Our guide, Hritik, was excellent and very flexible. He sure knows his way around. We needed to find something in Chinatown and he was willing to alternate the schedule to accommodate. Thank you, Hritik.

An amazing Experience - Our tour was amazing. Sameer was incredible so polite taught us all about the island and so so helpful. He made our trip so fun! Please thank him again from us. We had a wonderful day! This tour takes you all round the island seeing all the sights in a private car just for you. It was one of the best days we had on our holiday

SW Mauritius Tour - Our Organiser Neelesh and driver Sameer listened to our specific request of skipping the Rhumerie, which helped make our busy day not feel too rushed. We were picked up from our hotel at 0830 and had photo stops at Trou aux Cerfs and Grand Bassin. We went to Viewpoints at Black River Gorges and Charmarel before a nice lunch in a family restaurant. We were given the option of visiting the Carmarel 7 coloured Earth Geopark, but chose the Valle Adventure Park, which had the 23 coloured earth, lovely waterfalls and Giant Tortoises to walk around. Our driver then suggested stopping at Le Morne Beach rather than the more busy Flic en Flac, which was nice and we had a quick dip. We returned to our hotel by 1800, after a full day.

Enjoyable tour overall - Whilst we enjoyed our day with our young very car proud driver we were actually disappointed with the two main attractions especially the 7 colours - Nothing like we had expected - But this was obviously no fault of the Driver / Guide who gave us a very entertaining tour, everything else was good = My only other comment was there were due to be 4 of us ( 2 Couples) But the other couple didn't feel 100% so decided not to join us which in hindsight was probably good for us as it would have been a very tight fit in the car - I would have said 3 max in that vehicle

They are not trustworthy! - I booked a day trip through Viator to Mauritius. I paid and received confirmation from Viator that everything was in order. The night before the trip, I received an email from Viator informing me that the tour operator, Taxi Mauritius - Tours & Transfer, had cancelled my booking. I had to find another provider for this trip at 10pm while I was on the boat sailing to Port Louis. This is not a company to trust!
