An unmissable visit to the island, the driver guide Deepak was exceptional, he adapted the visit to all our requests, tailor-made and with top-notch sympathy and culture with a touch of really appreciable humor. We definitely got our money's worth, thanks again Deepak.

Our guide and the vehicle were good but the tour itself very lacklustre. I am afraid it felt like following the crowd and paying to be driven to vendors really.
The first 2 stops were just to see people who tried to sell you ornaments and silk which was'nt really what we signed up for.
The volcano crater is very underwhelming and its incredibly busy meaning its really not much fun at all.
The hindu temples are pretty tatty but that was quite interesting seeing them.
The viewpoint over the valley was nice but again massively busy and you just join a queue. When we drove back past it on the way home there was less than half the number of vehicles there so why not see it on the way back maybe?
The coloured sand and tortoises are nice enough but only a few minutes.
The restaurant for lunch had stunning views and nice food. Guess its not so much fun if the weathers bad but it was good at least to start with so that was nice.
Then on the way back yet another stop off at a clothes shop to try and sell us polo shirts. Sorry but to be told we are going to a traditional high end clothing factory and then to be taken to that place just annoyed me.
Shame as its a pretty island but I just felt like you spent the whole day queueing and trying to be sold stuff you didnt want.

Good morning,
just a little message to thank everyone at Mautourco who helped us have a great vacation on Mauritius.
first of all we would like to thank Vila who represents Mautourco at the Beachcomber Mauricia Hotel who allowed us to see all the must-see attractions of the island (the wild south, swimming with dolphins, deer island, Chamarel, visit to the rum factory, discovery of Port Louis, the Pamplemousse garden, the Vaniile house, the tea factory...)
we would also like to particularly thank Damien the pilot of the speed boat from the One Love company who introduced us to Ile aux Cerfs, as well as Stefano and Stena who made us live a dream by swimming with the dolphins, all these people have especially took care of our son who didn't want to swim.
And finally we would like to warmly thank Soupayah who was our driver guide on two outings and who is an inexhaustible source of history and legend of the island... in short, the assurance of sublime discovery and real moments of humor.
If you are thinking about taking guided tours with Mautourco, don't hesitate for a second to ask, you will definitely have an unforgettable day!!!

This excursion was the highlight of our honeymoon. Raggoo was an absolutely fantastic guide - he was very kind, entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend paying the extra to go private with this tour, as the tour went at our own pace, and Raggoo made extra stops to show us amazing things that you would normally miss in the group guided tour. We can’t praise Raggoo enough for his service - he is an absolute credit to the Mauritian tourist industry.

We took the wild south excursion. We had the chance to visit splendid places with exceptional guides. Our driver Kamlesh was a real guide in the beginning of our excursion. She is a good listener who taught us a lot about Mauritian culture. We then joined Clarel who was a perfect guide, who explained and answered all the questions. Sharing personal experiences is also very enriching. All the places dazzled us and it was a very good experience. Our driver Kamlesh also took us to a magnificent spot to see Le Morne with a superb beach. An infinite thank you to these two people who made our excursion an unforgettable moment!

We took the southern excursion on Monday September 18, 2023. We were welcomed by our driver Vinesh who immediately put us in the mood to discover his island. Vinesh is very cultured and he knows how to tackle all themes (geographic, political, historical, animals, etc.).
He was able to answer our questions and had a lot of humor.
The meal at the rum factory restaurant is excellent and the tasting is a plus.
And what's more, Vinesh is a good photographer.
A beautiful, enriching day full of memories!

The tour included all the things we wanted plus our guide made it clear we could stop along the way if there was anything else.
Our guide, Raggu, was so well informed he could answer all our questions and shared with us everything we wanted to know about the history of Mauritias, the places we were visiting and the flora and fauna along the way.
He really went the extra mile and we had a brilliant day because of it. He made sure we got a great table at the lunch restaurant and talked to the waiting staff as well as the the people at each place. In particular he took a great deal of care making sure we understood the rituals and importance of the temple and statues. This was the highlight of our day.
We could just be lucky but we keep meeting wonderful humans - but Raggu’s expertise and enthusiasm was inspiring!

An excellent tour, including a wide range of high quality experiences. The tour included waterfalls, volcanoes, rum tasting, Hindu temple, a delicious lunch, shops, giant tortoises, volcanic coloured ash, and lots more!
We opted to pay £20 extra to have a private tour and it was well worth it.
Ragoo was our brilliant driver and guide. He took us at our own pace, gave us lots of information about the history and culture of the island and answered our endless questions! He was good humoured and helpful. He made sure we got the best views (and got us the best table in the restaurant!)
The car was luxurious, and his driving perfect.
A fantastic day out, getting a great sense of this beautiful island.

Our tour guide Ragoo was absolutely incredible. He provided us with an excellent tour of Mauritius. He went above and beyond to squeeze in as much as he could into our tour. His knowledge of the country's history, landscape, vegetation, and culture was mind-blowing. He also has excellent driving skills. He really made us fall in love with Mauritius. Thank you Ragoo!

We booked this trip for my birthday in June 2022 and my boyfriend and I both had a really lovely day out! Our guide Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable about the islands history and had many interesting facts to hand. I would definitely recommend the private guided tour as you can spend as much or as little time at each location as you’d like.
The only thing I’d point out is you initially stop off in a town called Curepipe where you are taken into a shop and asked to purchase something. The money behind the shop goes into supporting the homeless and is a fantastic cause, however I would definitely feel more inclined to purchase something from there if I had known it was a stop on the tour and wasn’t followed around the store/pressured to look at the more expensive items!!
Apart from that, we had a really wonderful day out and the view and lunch at the Charamel restaurant is simply stunning!
