Southwest Mauritius is definitely worth a tour. Our driver picked us up at the hotel on time and visited many spots with us. We visited some viewpoints of waterfalls and greenest landscapes, as well as a Hindu temple, Chamarel Waterfall and the Seven Colored Earth. We also stopped at a model ship factory, a cashmere factory and rum tasting. We stopped at a good restaurant for lunch. We can only recommend the tour and the tour provider and give it a 5-star thumbs-up rating.

We had a lot of fun on this tour. Our guide fulfilled all of our wishes. We've been to a lot more places than we were supposed to. No matter where we wanted to go, he brought us. We also really wanted to take some rum home with us. Our guide showed us where we can get it much cheaper than in the souvenir shops. We saved almost 50%! It was a great day. Be sure to book!

I had Mahen as a guide, he was punctual and discussed the daily routine with me. He drove very well and explained a lot. At the individual points you could divide the time yourself, you get a good overview of the north. I can recommend this tour.

Highly recommended the guide was very friendly. we’ve got amazing photos of us offered and as promised we received our photos within 24h. Good job and keep going

Our Guide was really nice. Took is to all places and told us on the way a lot about places, people and the Culture.
