We had a great time today! Augi (not sure how to spell his name, sorry) was great. The wind was very rough but did not distract from our activities. I wish we had time to shop at the Bazzar to buy some souvenirs. I would make a suggestion that if guests are staying in the North that the pick up is a little earlier so we have extra time for shopping. It was a great day, thank you.

I participated in this tour together with a friend. The experience itself was really great, especially thanks to our guide. However, it was not exactly the tour we booked. In the description it was written we would visit the following points:
- Bois Cheri Tea Factory
- Pont Naturel
- Blue Bay Marine Park
- Mahebourg Museum
- Mahebourg Waterfront
- Bazar Street
- Frederick Hendrik Museum
- Point Canon
Upon arrival of our guide he compared with us the stops that were communicated to him by the tour company. These were not the one we booked. The places of interest in Mahebourg and Blue Bay were included. The other ones like the Tea Factory or Pont Naturel were not. Especially those latter two were places we were really looking forward to. Thus, our guide got back with the company, discussing the mismatch between the places he was told to drive to and the ones we actually booked. He worked out that we indeed could drive to the Blue Bay Marine Park, have the promised lunch in Mahebourg, and see the Bois Cheri Tea Factory. The stop at Pont Naturel was not possible as no proper road leads there. Yet, our guide got in touch with his contacts and organized that we could get there with a quad. This was an arrangement outside the booked tour respectively the company behind the tour. Correspondingly, we had to pay extra for it. In the end we were able to visit all the places we really would liked to see, thanks to our guide. The other ones were not possible anymore due to time constraints, but this was okay for us.
Another aspect that did not went well, is that we always needed to discuss the prepayment at the different stops. That is, the activity in Blue Bay and the entrance at the Bois Cheri Tea Factory were already covered by booking the tour. However, we first had to discuss this with the people on site at both locations, as they did not know about it directly.
In conclusion, I would like to say that I am very dissatisfied with the company Freshverde Holidays, being responsible for the tour. The cab driver respectively guide they have hired has made up for this. I therefore recommend Josh Josué (+230 5747 7127) to 110% for all those who need a cab or a guide. He was awesome, making sure that despite the poor organization the day was a really great one.
