“We really enjoyed our trip with Yameen. He arrived well on time, and was very friendly, answering our many random questions. He got us to our tour locations promptly and took the time to explain each element. This trip allows you to see a lot in one day and to get a wide range of insights into Mauritius from your guide. We took the option via 7 coloured earth and the rhumerie. We highly recommend the tour.”

“La nostra guida di oggi si chiama Jeremy ed è stato molto attento alle necessità del gruppo, seguendo il ritmo del più lento. Durante il percorso, la guida si soffermava su diverse curiosità che hanno arricchito l'esperienza. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di avvistare delle scimmie, che hanno attraversato il nostro sentiero. Indubbiamente da inserire tra le attività della permanenza a Mauritius.”

“1st off, I do a lot of reviews on this website since we travel all over the world, and they all have been awesome "BUT" this one tour we did was a shambles. OMG, did the tour company force this guy to work that day. I paid good money for a Tour/Guide. The optimum word being "Guide". All he did was sulk and act pissy and mad all day. He never explained any place we went to. Then to be arguing with someone on his phone just made us want to walk home.
