We had an amazing time on the food tour with Léa! Her knowledge of Réunionese cuisine is incredible, and the experience was an absolute treat for the senses. We got to taste a variety of authentic dishes that showcased the island's rich culinary heritage, all while learning about the local culture. Léa's passion for food and her warm hospitality made the tour even more enjoyable. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the true flavors of Réunion!

It was a great activity, I recommend it to all street food fans! We discovered Reunion cuisine in 6 steps through Saint-Denis with Léa, all authentic dishes from Reunion gatronomy. Léa was very interesting and taught us a lot about the culinary culture in Reunion. The fact that the activity is done while walking also allows you to discover the city and digest a little between each dish.

Vincent was a great guide who is very passionate about volcanology and knowledgeable about the specifics of the island. One must take into consideration that the tour is only available in French. Personally, I would have appreciated if they made it more clear that you won’t see any lava or gas vents because in case of any volcanic activity the hike won’t take place anyways

Thank you, thank you to our guide who was able to show us this magical place. Everything is explained and everything is shared. Great discussions and small group. We really, really liked it. Really, really liked it. Mafate is a majestic cirque!

The hike was beautiful and the guide Manu was great. He explained a lot of things to us throughout the hike and he is a super nice, friendly and caring person. I recommend 100%
