Nice day in Mauritius - Our guide was Satya Reddy. I recommend him, because he was driving us the whole day, and we have seen a lot of things. Great guy.

Average trip, not really worth the money - San was a great taxi driver which took us to a lot of places. The aquarium is over rated for the price you pay to get in there. There are two sharks and a few fish not the best for the price of 24 euros each. The views were good but not worth the money.

Not recommended - The tour was not so interesting. Port Louis doesn't have that many sights and history to take you there. They take you to see the city's market and open-air mall overlooking the harbor. Rather uninteresting. Entrance to the Aquarium 22e per person. An extremely bad offer that can only be interesting for children. The tour is not worth the money and I do not recommend it.
