I went to Mauritius and we had two weeks. The island is beautiful. The resort was outstanding but what we found the most was the amount you needed to see around the island. It was just beautiful so picture we had a few taxi companies here and they’re taking us to places, but overall The best time was when we had our driver Robbie take us on our little mini island tour where we went to the seven coloured rocks the temples the parks of viewing platforms his knowledge was outstanding and he was very funny and kept us very entertained the whole way round the island. We could not fault anything with him. He was Outstanding. He was very punctual and very informative and knew the history of the island very well being a local boy growing up on the island he told us his history and pointed out all the excellent parts of the island. If we could recommend anybody that we’ve known on the island it would be Ravi. He was fantastic And thank you for a great outing.

Amazing tour and absolutely recommend, well organised and great communication beforehand. My driver and guide was Atish, whom I had read previous reviews on and I was hoping it was him I have. Atish was very very good. Pleasant all the way, and he is very informative. It was a very rainy day but he was attentive and prepared with an umbrella, and very safe driving in and around the mountains. I am a female travelling solo so it was important to find a trusting provider and I am very satisfied and felt safe the entire time! Thank you Athish!
